Runners Up

A panel of Korean middle schoolers has awarded Eric Lossenger (pictured above) with first prize in the annual Happy Dialcom Brad Pitt Look-alike Contest. Competition was tough, but Eric’s uncanny possession of two eyes and a nose made it tough to distinguish between him and the real actor.

On Veltron, there’s a big emphasis on mining the Felstar crystals that power our rocketships. It’s apples and oranges, really.”

“This explains why Newsplaza’s top story today was entitled ‘I Hit the Fucking Jackpot’ and consisted of little more than Hyunjung pumping her fist in the air and making the cash register sound for 5 minutes.”
