    The Winner!<\/h5>\n

    Chris gave us several art-related puns, but this was by far the funniest, and was the entry that made me laugh the hardest. <\/p>\n

    007 Motto: Fuck bitches. Get Monet.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    What can I say? Sometimes crude humor appeals to me. But, more than that, the joke also functions as a pretty clever parody of Bond’s reputation as a sexist womanizer. See, it works on multiple levels. <\/p>\n

    Congratulations to Chris for winning ‘Skyfall<\/a>‘ on Blu-ray. For the rest of you, thanks for participating, and don’t forget that we still have a giveaway for ‘The Terminator’ (Remastered)<\/a> going on. Get those entries in!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
