I'm going with 2. K4nchi the killer put that extra effort. Besides the necrophilia in me has a sensitive spot for that picture.

Because I like commenting after voting:

I voted 4 because "teabagging" is always hilarious. Plus he's proudly displaying the logo, which makes it more of an effort.

2 was damn close though.....and had the official satchels from the game.

He's not just teabagging a statue--he's teabagging John Harvard! That's an Ivy League nut dropping right there!

I appreciate the style of #2, but dressing like #4 in Harvard Yard earns my respect.

I really like #2 because of it's creativity, but running around in your underwear to tea bag a statue really deserves *something* don't ya think? I voted #4 but I'd also like to say that all of the photos are deserved of winning something... perhaps a slice of pie?

2 is fantastic, it really captured the spirit of the game.

Why the hell are people voting for 4? Its some dumbass teabagging a statue, its stupid.

But hey, now I know how to maybe win a contest here, ignore the spirit of the game, do something immensely stupid and the votes will come pouring in.

2 is amazing, but I voted for the tea bagger! Too damn funny not to vote for! Ha ha! RiDICKulous!

Seriously, this shouldn't even be a contest, 2 wins, just give it to them for the effort they displayed and more importantly, making it look like a scene from the game, like true propaganda, hopefully it will win.

I vote #2 because it's a well-executed concept. Number 4 is a nice laugh and deserves recognition but at the end of the day, anyone could have done it (though it still takes some guts). Number 2 took effort and skill and the resulting picture reflects that.

Man I had a great idea too and it involved fire...too bad I thought the contest ended at midnight instead of noon.

voted 3. 2 and 4 are great, one is a good laugh the other appeals to my zombie infatuation. But, 3 is both funny, takes guts and relevant in a mirrors edge contest...

4 is my new idol.

Also, guy on the right's face here is priceless... He needs a caption.

Whoops, image too big, but check him out in the gallery.

She's worthy of the picture anyway.

Statue one wins my vote. The killing has a good setup but nowadays games are taking blame for every bad thing and I don't need more excuses for others to bash gaming.

I'd like to comment that I was in Time Square, not Madison Square Garden. They are like 10 blocks away.

And therefore I made an ass of myself in front of thousands of strangers. With my package clearly on display.

Thank you, please vote for me. I will love you forever.

#2. Sure, anyone could stage #2, but only one person did...

Good job to all, though.

I would have vote for 3 just because he is in NYC, but 2 is just too much details.

@BlackFreefall: Keep in mind the contest called for the most obnoxious and over-the-top picture, it didn't say anything about connecting it to Mirror's Edge. Besides, none of the entrants had the balls that #3 did to take those pics amongst tons of strangers. I vote 3

Comeon guys, number two is a great entry, but those who are saying anyone could have done 4, I think this applies much more to number 2. All 2 requires is a camera, fake blood and a hot chick to play dead. 4 however required much more balls. Also, the contest said "most obnoxious and ridiculous photo" and I'm pretty sure 4 has got that covered by a long shot.

I voted #3 for definitely being the most obnoxious and over the top.

#4 is a definitely 2nd place though.

I really like the visual style and look of #2 but it doesn't really fit.

Teabagging John Harvard is ultimate win. Also because it's tantamount to teabagging IRL Master Chief.

#4 all the way!

The guy actualyl went outside and probably had a crap ton of stares from people you gotta have GUTS (nuts?) to do that!

I had my nuts hanging out in Times Square man! I was stopping traffic and getting requests to be in photos.

I voted #4 (Did the official pole just go up? It says I'm the only vote!) but damn if #2 wasn't close. #4 simply was the most "over-the-top" picture by far.

Now, if #2 had murdered the guy in the Elmo suit, THEN we'd have a new winner.
