The Votes Are In...

...and we have a winner in the effin' naming contest for the upcoming Reality TV show formerly known as Barf Like Me (RTVSFKABLM, hey that's not a bad name. Right!).

Though retaining Barf Like Me was a popular choice among many of our readers and viewers, it couldn't quite keep up with the juggernaut Apocalypse WOW. Nice! Of our submitted names the top vote getters were:

Apocalypse WOW (submitted by Blake Cates)

Last Man Standing (Steve Martin)

Always Survivors (Matraxis Vile) tied with Dancing with the Losers (Vash Dancer)

These top name submitters will win a fabulous assortment of BarfBucks along with a year's supply of Myth-O's cereal (it's Blasphemously Delicious!) and a free BarfPad.

Additional prize considerations will be given to Matraxis Vile for what was unanimously voted as the best entry description. Matraxis wrote:

"Nigel, the perfect replacement name for “Barf Like Me” is – “Always Survivors”. It’s close enough to that other reality show’s name that the casual (stupid) viewer won’t realize it’s different. Since “Always” can mean eternal, Eternal or Eternal, it will also help bring in that all important Freemasonry demographic to the show. By fortuitous coincidence, the Vile Institute happens to have t-shirts and other items in our gift shop with the “Always Survivors” motto on it, meaning we could instantly bring additional marketing support online to help with STV’s bottom line once your people and ours get all the details worked out.

Even better, we can make “Always Survivors” action figures like the Katarina “Always Busy” doll, the Kane “Always Killing” action figure, Nyarlatothep “Always Eerie”, Tasmania “Always Anonymous” and of course the Steve Martin “Always Talking” doll (gag included). Hmm, does “gag” mean a bad joke, a way to shut him up or what you do when listening? We’ll have to work that out.

Since you’re not going to get any better submissions, why not just close the suggestion box now so that everyone else can get back to their Barf U work before the deadline which is only a couple of days away!"

Thanks to our readers and viewers for all the great entries, and the really crappy ones as well. Now that we've got the name figured out I guess we should work on what will actually happen during the show. More details to follow about that soon.
