Yes, it should definitely be on the Mothership!!!
Can we submit a little press release to them? I've written press releases before. It should say something like this:
Help me fill in the blanks, people! Think journalistic-style writing. I'm optimistic that if we submit a good press release to the Mothership, they just might publish it as-is.![:thumbsup:](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f44d.svg)

WOWAY - December 5:
After X weeks of voting, the photograph titled "Shades Yankovic" has been named "Sexiest Al Photo!" The members of the "World of Weird Al Yankovic Forum" selected it from a pool of X entries, including such fierce competitors as "[insert name here]" and "[insert name here]." Despite much agonizing by Al fans, "Shades" emerged victorious.
Al fan Alexina, who first proposed the "Sexiest Al Photo" contest, said, "Although it was a tough decision, I'm really happy that Shades won. It's a very sexy picture. Lots of people don't think of Al in the context of sexiness, but maybe if they saw this photo the way we do, they'd agree!"
[Insert quotes from other WOWAY folks, including WHiZZi here]
[Insert quote from a WOWAY guy who thought the contest was stupid, just for character]
[Then, in an ideal world, we would insert a reaction quote from Al here! Something about it being an honor and a privilege to serve... he he he.]
The winning photograph can be found at http://www.weirdal.com/xxxxx. The first runner-up was "Close-up Al," follwed closely by second runner-up "Pentiums Al" and third runner-up "Accordion Al."
The entire pool of candidates is available at http://xxxxxxxxxx, and links to each round of voting can be found at http://[this doesnt exist yet, but someone should make a list with links to each round for posterity!].com.

Well, technically, we had a bit of a methodological error there. The reason those two were the finalists was because they were not voted upon separately in the previous rounds; they were considered as a unit.jedimom @ Dec 5 2003, 02:44 PM wrote: Is the vote over?

To be fair, we really should have voted on them separately from the start. Who knows -- one of them might *not* have been the first runner-up.
I demand a recount!

How do you feel about the results of the Sexy Al Photo contest?
Oh, it was fixed from the beginning. What AL-gal in her right mind wouldn't think the Pentiums look isn't the Sexiest look? I admit we didn't pick the absolute best picture as a representative, we really should have included the goatee, but it's still his best look to date.
What did you like or dislike about it?
There was a serious lack of Silver Suitage going on in the "Shades Yankovic" photo. But on the plus side, it did have the goatee (which is always sexy.) It was reminiscent of the MSS look with the beautiful silver car and the sexy sunglasses. In the end, it was my choice and I'm gratified that the AL-gals finally came to their senses and voted with me.
As a moderator, how do you feel about this kind of reckless abandon amongst Al's female fans?
WAY drooling is just good clean fun.
