It’s time to reveal the results of last week’s Studio Ghibli prize pack contest, and I’m actually jealous of the winner. I wish that I could get free copies of both ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ and ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’. These are such great movies, but I’ll have to pay for them out of pocket and I’m broke right now! One of you is far luckier than I am. Which reader will claim the prize? Let’s find out.
As explained in the original post, we challenged you to provide funny or clever captions for the following image:

This entry from Raidel L. is both topical and funny, and that’s a winning combination.

If you don’t get it, try watching the news sometime.
Congratulations to Raidel for winning ‘My Neighbor Totoro‘ and ‘Howl’s Moving Castle‘ on Blu-ray, and thanks to everyone else for participating in our contest. Don’t forget, you still have until Friday to get in on our ‘Side Effects’ contest.

25 honorable mentions? Josh, every entrant got thrown a bone. Might have been easier to pick the most dishonorable mentions.
Oh yeah, can’t forget to mention… I was robbed!
Josh Zyber
AuthorTim, you won Les Miserables recently. I keep track of these things. 🙂
The number of Honorable Mentions varies depending on how many entries we receive, how good they are, and what sort of mood I’m in on the day that I do the judging.

There have been so many contests lately, that I am starting to think all the regulars are going to get a chance to win something before the year-wait on old winners is up. Not that I am complaining – I’ve won two contests over the years, and all I have got to do is come up with a snide remark (although I think the first contest I won I had to talk about how much I loved a product).
Raidel Lopez
Yeah, thanks for the movies. I declare this to be my first win ever in the history of online contests.
