Great Scott! It’s time to give away that copy of ‘Man of Steel’ we promised you last week. But look at all those contest entries we received! And they’re all so hilarious! How will we ever sort through them and pick just one winner? This looks like a job for Superman.
As explained in the original post, we challenged you to provide funny or clever captions for the following image:
Oh, did you ever come through for us on that!
Honorable Mentions
- Csm101: “Hey ladies, the symbol on my chest doesn’t really stand for hope, or even Superman… It stands for SEXY!” (Actually it stands for Sears.)
- Alex: Kryptonian Spring Break!!! Woo!!!!!!
- Steven L: “I’m getting a super boner.”
- David S: “So this is what you women do when you go to the bathroom together?”
- Art A: Trust me… he ain’t the Man of Steel where it counts!
- Mike A: “Here we are. This should stop her from licking her stitches.”

- Tyler: Man of WOOD is more like it.
- Michael L: This never happened to the other guy…
- Doug A: Beats by Zod is what’s in this holiday season.
- Matt B: Okay, I can work with this… a hairnet, some dark highlights, she’ll be good.
- Carl C: OK, he’s looking at us again so I have to be quick. Listen carefully, Go to Ebay.com and search for “X-ray vision scrambler hairnet”. Believe me, you’ll thank me later.

- Jeff W: Go ahead and kill her… I’ll just reverse the Earth’s rotation and go back in time and save her anyway.
- Rob: You’ll love this. They’re ribbed… for OUR pleasure.
- EM: Truth, justice, and the occasional three-way.
The Winner!
That photo obviously inspired the best (and worst) in you. If the competition weren’t so stiff (no pun intended), any one of those Honorable Mentions could have been a winner.
Nevertheless, for this entry, I picture Andi W. holding up a microphone, dropping it onto the stage and walking away.
“Two girls, one cape.”
BOOM! That’s a winner.
Congratulations to Andi for winning ‘Man of Steel‘ on Blu-ray, and thanks to everyone else for participating in our contest. This one was a whole lot of fun to judge.
David Staschke
Wow! The most deserving winner I’ve seen in a while. Congrats Andi, that was brilliant!
Josh Zyber
AuthorThat one stood out as a front-runner as soon as it was posted. However, I have to say that a lot of the others also had me rolling. Especially the ones about the healthcare web site and the DTS mix. EM’s entry about “Truth, justice, and the occasional three-way” was also flawlessly crafted. 🙂
EM
Thank you!
One of the best things about being a recent winner—besides the totally awesome prize I won (whoo-hoo!! thanks again!!)—is that my ineligibility leaves me feeling freer to flex my creative muscles without worrying about some prize I wouldn’t want…
Andi Wettleson
Thanks David! I’m glad everyone enjoyed it

“That photo obviously inspired the best (and worst) in you. If the competition weren’t so stiff (no pun intended).”
So it wasn’t just me who noticed that for about 80%-90% of the entries.
Come guys, it’s 2013. When two girls stand within 2-3 feet of each other, do we automatically, necessarily, irresistibly must imagine the 2 of them kissing?
Look okay, okay, within 1 feet, I understand. That’s hardwired into our DNA. We can’t help ourselves.
Oh yeah, I was robbed!!! 🙂
Csm101
Even if they’re standing 30 feet apart, I still picture them kissing. Just out of curiosity, what was your first thought when viewing the photo?
Timcharger
If you remember, this is what Josh wrote for his caption:
For example: “Ohmigod, you’re gonna kiss, aren’t you? Come on, do it! Do it!! You know you want to do it. Please? Please!!!”
So my 1st reaction was influenced by that caption. Without those words, I don’t think that would be my first thoughts. The weird alien technology around the head and neck would “distract” me from thinking lesbian (at least initially).
So if 85% of all entries went in that direction, Josh certainly helped nudged us that way. With that nudge, even at “30 feet apart”, I too would picture them kissing.
Csm101
Maybe I just have a dirty mind because even just by looking at the alien technology, in that still, reminds me of a ribbed condom. Anyways, I see what you mean about Mr. Zyber “influencing” our responses with his caption, but I feel I personally would of still gone the the “lesbo three way route” regardless. Thank you for your input.
Timcharger
And Josh, you knew very well, why you picked that photo…
Josh Zyber
AuthorIn my defense, I know of at least one other blog that ran a similar caption contest around the same time we did, and claimed that a rep from the studio picked that photo for them to use.
Andi Wettleson
Whoa! Awesome! What do I have to do to claim my prize? I’m guessing you’ll need my address for shipping purposes, obviously. Really, I can’t believe I won with a pretty simplistic entry, especially considering there were plenty of other great ones and I thought some of my other entries were good also but I guess everyone loves a good two girls one cup joke. Also, Josh, I’m awaiting the return of the HD Advisor!
Josh Zyber
AuthorAndi, check your email. I sent a message with instructions this morning. Enjoy the disc!
Andi Wettleson
I got it and replied. It just took some scouring through the old junk mailbox before I found it. Can’t wait to get it, even though I already own a copy (I had to go buy it the day it was released). I’ll probably end up giving it to someone I know will enjoy it for Christmas or just saving it as a trophy haha
