What a tourney!
Congratulations to the North Carolina Tarheels People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals! PETA has won the inaugural Deceiver Madness championship, outlasting 64 other famous hypocrites.
Take a bow, you nutty puppy-killing frauds! You earned it.
Al Gore could only close the gap to 6 points, despite some aggressive voting from the pockets of the coal and natural gas industries. But hey, second place isn’t so bad. Gore has got to be used to that by now.
The Deceiver Madness trophy will be awarded later this week in Hollywood, but we have some additional hardware to hand out too.
Our grand prize tonight goes to the reader who made the guessed closest to the final score of tonight’s NCAA basketball championship game (the final was 89-72), and placed a Deceiver Madness vote for PETA (the eventual tourney winner).
We had three guesses that were remarkably close, so we’re awarding Deceiver t-shirts as consolation prizes to the two runners-up. They were “fallingstar” with a guess of 89-68, and “LurkingWoman” with a guess of 87-72.
But the big winner was Deceiver reader “Crow Jane,” whose prediction of 88-72 was just one free-throw away from being perfect. She will be receiving the PETA-themed prize showcase containing:
- A $50 gift card to Omaha Steaks;
- A $50 McDonald’s “Arch Card”;
- A teddy bear made from genuine mink fur;
- A baseball cap crafted from top-grain leather;
- A one-year subscription to Field & Stream magazine (with complimentary fishing tackle bag); and
- A “summer sausage and cheese gift box” from Hickory Farms.
Thanks for making Deceiver Madness a barrel of laughs to put on. Vegas oddsmakers are already predicting a rout by the Octomom for 2010, so start working on your brackets. It’s never too early.

Gore lost AGAIN? Well…f*ck
I mean, congrats to the winners 
Now Gore can sue for a recount…
DAMN! Someone always beats me to the recount jokes!
No. No recounts. 1.) It’s electronic voting so no hanging chads and 2.) Deceiver voters actually know how to push buttons and vote.
Congrats to the winners by the by and those runners-up. Anyone of you want to come with me to Vegas?
congrats PETA! although i am bummed john edwards didn’t win, i gotta admit lol
I think Britney Spears said it best . . .
“Huh?”
Huurray!
Always remember, PETA truly means… People Eating Tasty Animals!
And if, god forbid, you know someone who’s thinking about joining that cult, refer them to PetaKillsAnimals.com post haste!
Congratulations to the puppy killing bastards, PETA! Al, maybe next time. Wonder if he will go and grow a beard like he did that other time he lost…
Anyhow, congratulations, too, to the prize winners!
Congratulations to all the contestants and of course the winners! Thanks to Holly,Simon and Oversneer. This has been fun
Congratulations to y’all, and especially to PETA. This championship couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of bloodthirsty hypocrites.
Congratulations to the winners (free food is about as win as you can get, though) and to UNC-Ch. <3
Also. Seconded Jenn, too. This was incredibly cool and kudos on the patience to facilitate such a thing. Thank you Simon, Holly, and Sneer.
Awww, Just like 2000 all over again. Gore lost. So sad. Too bad Florida was not part of the voting.
I’m there with you, Scott. lol
I think PeTA hired ACORN to help them, because unlike in 2000, Gore totally deserved this win. Now I’m just waiting on the fit of rage promised by Pasta.
You all suck. Now I know how all those hippies felt in 2000. Can I throw a year long bitchy fit until the next one? Maybe I’ll just show up at that little awards show with my attorney. His office is above the bowling alley by the train station. That’s prime real estate, that means he’s good.
that mink teddy bear sounds awesome. i want one.
Anagram, you know it, baby. I’ma get me one somehow. Then I can hold it in the crook of my arm whilst munchin’ down on some Omaha steaks.
Pastafarian got it right! Let’s bitch about Gore defeat for the next few years! We could even start a website called “Deceiver Deceived Us About Al”. Yes, we need to mooch money for Mr. Gore’s lawyers and plane trips to clean his name!
Maybe this loss will convince him to go back into hiding?
Better luck next year, Al.
I meant the voters Toubrouk.
Oh.
Hey, thanks for the t-shirt! When I get it, I’ll have a photo taken of me wearing it and I’ll send the photo to you guys. You could even put the photo on this site.
Congratulations, Crow Jane, Hickory Farms is mighty tasty.
Hey, you know what’d be awesome? If other people who won prizes in Deceiver Madness 2009 sent photos of themselves with their prizes, too.
Yay PeTA!! I think there are some living puppies for a congratulatory kill!!
Kudos Crow Jane. You deserve it, since I realized I have no fridge space. Damn dorms!
Damn all basketball players and their insane scoring! I was all hungry too, and that mink bear looked so tasty– SAUSAGE! I mean the sausage looked tasty.
Let’s hear it for PeTA though, and here’s hoping they are disqualified next year for spontaneously self-destructing. Barring that, I would also accept that their Virginia HQ becomes overrun by mutated puppies that are immune to euthanasia.
To LurkingWoman – that would be a big HELL NO for me since I won the underwear. I do not want to break anyone’s computer screens or be responsible for the flooding to the stores for sharp objects or bleach.
I think we should send them a trophy.
Sorry. I already traded my stuff for smokes.
“I think we should send them a trophy.”
Nah. Just carve DOTY into a side of beef, then ship it delivery confirmation with signature requirement.
I admit I wavered a bit in choosing between PETA and Gore, but I voted for PETA. Both deserve to win, but PETA deserves it a little more because of their dog and cat killing ways.
Winners’ pictures … well, I think those little black rectangles over the eyes would be in order.
AAW… maybe you’d consider just holding up the panties in the photo?
Les- little black rectangles? I guess that’d be up to the person in the photo.
I never have figured out how people managed to make those rectangles stay on.
Heh.
You evil people who have no empathy for animals (except your dog maybe! “cause they are like..different!”); I wish you all the cruelty this world has to offer, cause karma is a bitch!
