Conde Nast sex map" |
The final scores, arrived at using the formula A+B+C+D/3-2E+F/100-G-2H-2I+J+K+3L-3M+N, where N=5 if you've got the best line, are:
The Kicker: 2
Gothamist: 15
Gawker: 11
So the winner is... Gothamist! Congratulations, Ms Chung.
(In case you're wondering, the 5 points for best line went to Gawker.)
Oh so rigged. First, there are errors in the scorekeeping. it should br F/100, not F/10. Also, you blatantly favor Gothamist in your generous doling out of points for links.
And why have blogwars at all? Your getting all Huntingtonian about the blogosphere, why not be a Fukuyaman and celebrate the things in common?
