MAJOR LEAGUE GAMING
Rank: Klinger
Nominated by MikeS
February 2009 Champion

MLG was started in 2002 by Mike Sepso and Sundance DiGiovanni and took on a lofty goal: to form a league, and enough buzz to actually turn video game addicts into professional athletes.

Fast forward 7 years and its clearly mission accomplished. They have a television show on ESPN, prizes as large as $100K, tournaments all over the country, and have enabled hundreds of gamers to go professional. In 2008 they signed a deal with Dr. Pepper to put pictures of professional Halo players on 175 million bottles. Think about that for a second, that's not Michael Jordan on a soda bottle, its Tsquared, a guy who plays Halo for a living.

Did anyone notice? PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS PHOTOGRAPHED WITH AN MLG BOTTLE ON INAGURATION DAY.

Vote for MLG because you know you had promise when you were 16, your parents didn't see it, but you damn well knew you were the greatest Double Dragon player on the planet. There just wasn't a future in doing that for a living... back then.

Plight of the Snowman
PLIGHT OF THE SNOWMAN
Rank: Colonel Ivana B. Awesome
Nominated by Ivana B. Awesome

Hard times have hit the snowman community. Global warming seems to be threatening these winter loving creatures. Snowmen around the world are reacting to their impending demise, most are resorting to peaceful demonstrations. But, some are building armies while others have let the stress get to them and have been known to attack. Toddlers have even been captured. BEWARE of the aggressive snowman!

One Snowman activist said, "I hope things will turn around for the world snowman community now that the new American president seems to believe in global warming. Perhaps, his diplomatic ways will be an in road to changing Mother Nature's stance. In the mean time I hope that Snowmen will be put on the endangered species list. This may reduce the amount of late night bully attacks."

As well as he was playing at Dallas I'd give him two green guns, and he'd still end up on top. Granted he's fighting a plant, but still. reply
