The Ugly Toy Contest
And the nominees are...
Whatever
doesn't kill you makes you stronger. So I must be the strongest person alive,
'cause I've spent the last
two weeks sorting through a huge, steaming pile of ugly Muppet toys.
I received dozens of entries, and a blue-ribbon panel of experts chose the nominations you see below. (Yes, the experts are fine now; they're resting comfortably.)
Now we take it to the people. Which lucky toy will be chosen as the Ugliest Muppet Toy We Can Find? The choice is yours.
So lock up the dogs and put the kids to bed -- it's time for you to look over the nominations, and vote for the toys that you think are the ugliest. For the next week, I'll be taking your votes via e-mail at Danny@ToughPigs.com.
The nominations are divided into seven categories below. Vote for the ugliest toy in each category, plus vote for the one toy that you think is the single ugliest toy. Please use the category names and numbers so I can tell which one you're talking about.
Also, feel free to send your comments on the toys. It won't affect the voting, but they'll be included as color commentary in the fabulous awards ceremony on April 8th!
So, ladies and gentlemen, frogs and pigs... I am proud (and a little queasy) to present The Ugly Toy Contest Nominees!
Vote by April 7th:
Vote for one toy in each category
plus a vote for the single ugliest toy!
