Look, if you have the balls - literally -- to pose in my Pangya contest comments in a plaid kilt-type thong thing, you deserve a free PSP. Of course, Ascythopicism's entry was more than just gratitious nudity, though: he also made an entire comic strip to tell his golf story. We really dug the effort he put into it, so he wins the grand prize package. Congrats, Ascythopicism!
Our runners up are sstryker20, JoeCamNet, catmurderer and Sonic9jct and we'll be notifying everyone by mail shortly. In the meantime, I've got to hustle and wrap this up so I can start a new contest. In the meantime, enjoy staring at the naked man above and cursing me for scarring your eyeballs for life. Enjoy!

Oh well at least now I know I lost and I can stop worrying about it :P
ON TO OTHER ADVENTURES!
Now do one with girls. It is only fair.
I would understand if it was a sarcastic comment but man. are u a bigot?
AMAZING PICTURE! I can see some skin too, just to let you know, you're a braver man then I. [bows head]
Colettes a girl :P
Now go play that PSP.
...I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!
Don't bother, wanderingpixel. People who make dumb comments just do so because they find themselves turned on by pictures like that, and think that making derisive remarks will stop "teh ghey" from seeping in.
Also, I think it might be helpful for some people to check out the whole comic on my blog; I don't think this one picture does it justice.
Thanks again, Colette!
P.S.: It's supposed to be a plaid loincloth.
Nice work Tom. See you in the war this November!
You deserve it, buddy. I'm just saying that one of the rules was to have dtoid in your photo, and I figured if you were going to go to that extreme that you wouldn't have forgotten about it. Thus I simply figured this was some silly pants sketch for maybe a personal site or whathaveyou. Note that I didn't mention it before the winners were picked because I didn't want to deprive anyone of anything, because regardless of whether they were for this or not... there's no question that you have balls...
I didn't even place, despite wearing Hello Kitty Pj's and swinging a plunger around my living room :P
And my other comment wasn't about you, directly, but there's no denying that there's a trend that needs to die.
Also, what is in the water you drink?
The runner up pics should be included as well. Good entries all around. Glad I got a runner up spot to a very well deserved winner.
God... Taint... WHYYYYYYYY!!!....
Congrats!
(oh... and nice to see a half naked guy gracing the front page of Dtoid for a change!) :)
hardcore gaming+hardcore thong = psp
Eques-Ardor: I've been really busy recently and the only time I had to devote to my contest entry was the hours before its deadline. Our digital camera was broken, so all these pictures were taken with a single-use CVS disposable camera (which only takes 28 pictures). We had to come up with a story-board, write the dialogue, buy those funky pants, squeeze into those tight shorts, take photos in the park, make a loincloth, take photos in our apartment, and drop the camera off to be developed at a reasonable hour as to leave enough time for us to actually edit everything together. In our haste, we forgot to include a Destructoid sign. I thought it was pretty obvious that these photos were taken specifically for this contest, so I wasn't that bothered by it.
In regards to the "there's too many naked men winning contests" comment: I agree with you. That was actually one of the things I was trying to say with the comic. I think that, on the whole, there's a serious lack of creativity and originality in the entries to most of the contests that I've seen (see the line: "Actually, I think you need to do something a little more bold..." in the comic). It seems most people either borrow an ironic piece of clothing from a family member, or try to shock / disgust the judges with their pasty white asses, and leave it at that. I mostly agree with what I say in the "It's bullshit to try to degenerate a Destructoid contest..." line. There's nothing necessarily wrong with these type of entries, it's just that they get stale, and people stop trying to up the creativity bar. When Stephanie proposes I make an article of clothing from breakfast meats, it's a wink at catmurderer's awesome entry (who would have gotten my vote).
Basically, the comic is an indictment of the people who substitute thinly-veiled irony or shock for genuine innovation. In the end, the character that is me realizes he can't come up with something creative enough, so he falls back on the lame, sure-shot standard. In a meta sense, that's what I actually am doing, but I'm trying to at least present it in a tongue-in-cheek and fresh way. But for people who don't want to think too hard about their comedy: "har har, naked dude".
Elsa: Custom made, baby! Yeah, it'd be nice to see a more even ratio of half-naked guys to girls on the front page.
Also, also: IT'S A LOINCLOTH, EVERYONE! And an assless one at that!
Thanks everyone for the kind comments!
I'm gonna go shower now...
