TR Contest: Wishful Headlines
 |
?If you thought I was going to do a Valentine’s Day-themed contest… well, me too. But I couldn’t think of one that wouldn’t likely turn awful and depraved thanks to you horrible little monkeys and your filthy little minds, so I just decided to use a suggestion from TR reader Adam W — what headline would you most like to see on Topless Robot? As in, what news would you wish would actually happen that I could report?
He suggested “Bruce Campbell Signs for Evil Dead 4,” which is a pretty good one. I would personally prefer “Michael Bay Crushed to Death by Robot’s Wrecking Ball/Testicle on Set of Transformers 2,” but I guess I’m a little late on that one.
One entry per person, contest ends on 12:01am on Monday, February 15th, and I think I’ll be sticking with two winners per week for a while — not that I haven’t been awarding multiple shirts per contest for a few months now, but I might as well make it official. Enjoy this weekend, and when you’re getting romantic with your significant other, please try not to think of the acid-spewing, spider-legged, ass-raping penis-monsters, because those aren’t romantic at all.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
