Caption Crunch Winner: HDTV and Armpit Testing
Update 3/27: Once again, a PC World staffer has outdone the rest of the caption-writing masses.
Just weeks ago, associate editor Danny Allen took top honors with his caption for this photo. This week, it's senior writer Darren Gladstone's time to shine as the winner of our latest Caption Crunch contest.
Yes, with just three words, Gladstone was able to create a pun that not only poked fun at PC World's WorldBench benchmarking test, but also at Senior Data Analyst Tony Leung's armpits. That's no small feat.
Here's the photo, as well as Gladstone's winning caption.
"One word: WorldStench." -- DarrenGladstone
Now, you may be complaining about a PC World employee winning a PC World caption contest. But here's the thing: you don't really win anything in our Caption Crunch contest. So while Gladstone is our big winner, you also receive the same prize as he does. Kudos!
Thanks for playing, and check back next Friday for another exciting installment of Caption Crunch.
What follows is the original text for this Caption Crunch contest.
Hello, and welcome to another exciting installment of Caption Crunch, the every-other-week contest where we post a photo and you post your most hilarious captions.
This week, the Internet's Greg Adler took a camera down to the PC World Test Center labs and snapped a shot of our Test Center team, hard at work evaluating HDTVs... and armpits, apparently.
Appearing in this photo, from left to right: Test Center Performance Analyst William Wang, Development Analyst Thomas Luong, Senior Data Analyst Tony Leung (with arm raised), Contributing Editor Lincoln Spector, and Test Center Mannequin Gloria, who comes alive at night and dates 1980s actor Andrew McCarthy.
Got a good caption? Post it in our comments section and we'll pick a winner next Friday. Good luck!
