We Won! Obviously..

So says Ryan Caldwell from Performancing.com! The polls are closed, the votes have been counted and nobody has demanded for a recount, even though the Big Beef has won in his category as most controversial blog of 2007 with a manipulated massive 98% of the votes (!) Its official, our humble selves have been bestowed with the honorable title of ;”Best Blog Name in 2007″ by you, the devoted readers of JohnCow.com, who happen to be sincere voters (and freeloaders that really wanted to win the entrecard credits and WordPress hoodies and tshirts ). If we had written a speech to use after we received the awards, we would have certainly posted it right now. Guess its too bad we didn’t, but thanks to everyone that voted anyway! We simply couldn’t have done it without you. Special thanks to XFEP.com, who nominated us in the first place!
