Read on to found out who won last week&#8217;s &#8216;Kung Fu Panda 2&#8217; contest.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As explained in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/kungfu-panda-2-contest\/\">the contest rules<\/a>, we challenged you to create a clever &#8216;Kung Fu Panda&#8217;-themed haiku in the traditional 5-7-5 format. Here are some of my favorite entries.<\/p>\n<h5>Honorable Mentions<\/h5>\n<p>Roger B. wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Blank scroll confounds him<br \/>\nBig appetite defines him<br \/>\nKung Fu bear \u2013 Ska-doosh!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Our perpetual Honorable Mention Shayne wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Nobody Noticed<br \/>\nThat they simply redubbed Bev-<br \/>\nerly Hills Ninja<\/p>\n<p>In the next movie<br \/>\nthey try unsuccessfully<br \/>\nto get Po to mate<\/p>\n<p>Dreamworks plot model:<br \/>\nthe incapable fat guy<br \/>\nwill always triumph\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Don&#8217;t feel too badly for Shayne. He <em>has<\/em> won one of our contests in the past.<\/p>\n<p>This one from Mike is a real groaner:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Po panda dream of<br \/>\nRiches that come with big fame<br \/>\nSo he po no mo\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mike A. gave us these:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Never understood<br \/>\nwhy no 2D version with<br \/>\n3D combo pack<\/p>\n<p>First one was better<br \/>\nbut I digress from my point<br \/>\nstill want to win it\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Isaac wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>What fat panda lacks<br \/>\nIn grace, he makes up for in\u2026<br \/>\nzeal and appetite.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This defeatist haiku from Chuck made me laugh a lot. Sadly, the second line has eight syllables, not the required seven. Sorry, Chuck!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Writing haiku sucks.<br \/>\nRarely making any damn sense,<br \/>\nSo keep your movie\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Kim K tripped up a couple times in the syllable count as well (&#8220;Black and white warrior will&#8221; and &#8220;Dragon Warrior&#8221; both need one more syllable respectively), but I still like this descriptive series of entries:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Evil crane&#8217;s revenge<br \/>\nWill Po find his family?<br \/>\nNot til next sequel<\/p>\n<p>Ancient prophecy<br \/>\nBlack and white warrior will<br \/>\nSpell doom for peacock<\/p>\n<p>Po confronts his past<br \/>\nShifu urges Ox and Croc<br \/>\nTo help save city<\/p>\n<p>Noodle dream no more<br \/>\nPo searches for family<br \/>\nFinds inner peace now<\/p>\n<p>Dragon Warrior<br \/>\nCruel Lord Shen will not abide<br \/>\nKilled all but one bear<\/p>\n<p>Meet new friends and foes<br \/>\nIn sequel Furious five<br \/>\nWere less important<\/p>\n<p>Death of family<br \/>\nOrphan bear in raddish crate<br \/>\nStill finds destiny\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h5>The Winners!<\/h5>\n<p>As we already announced last week, &#8220;Random Commenter&#8221; won our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/happy-holidays-2011\/\">pre-contest contest<\/a>. Not to worry, we still have two more Blu-ray copies of &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/bluray.highdefdigest.com\/4508\/kungfupanda2.html\">Kung Fu Panda 2<\/a>&#8216; to give away. <\/p>\n<p>A haiku doesn&#8217;t need to rhyme. In fact, I&#8217;m sure some purists out there might argue that a haiku <em>shouldn&#8217;t<\/em> rhyme. Nonetheless, this silly verse from Mike C. made me smile:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Kicking like a pro,<br \/>\nour kind and lovable Po,<br \/>\nlearns his Tae Kwon Do.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And this one from Stuart sounds like it could come right from Jack Black&#8217;s mouth:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>How can we top it?<br \/>\nKung Fu Panda was so good.<br \/>\nRelax, I got this!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Congratulations to Random Commenter, Mike and Stuart for winning &#8216;Kung Fu Panda 2&#8217; on Blu-ray! As for the rest of you, don&#8217;t give up hope if you didn&#8217;t win this one. We expect to have a lot more contests throughout the year.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s start this new year off right by giving away some free stuff.
