Our judges made the following comments.

James Joyner said- "Hizbollah would win the whole thing but I don't consider them, or any of the other criminals listed, as "knuckleheads" but rather venal."

Mr C said-
"1 Hilton Hotels cut out O’briens, cut out heroes
Tie - 2 Paino Advertising can’t get its number straight
Tie - 2 Tribune news gets its numbers too good"

Greta said-
"1. The HIlton's bigger shame than Paris 2. Hizbo civilian strategy 3. The Maniac Blogger"

Don Surber said in why he voted for Hilton Hotels-
"You've got the heirs to this throne running around the
world without panties and enticing their fellow celebs
to follow suit -- whose only use for night vision is
to make a porn vid -- and they kick out heroes"

This wasn't a close vote. One nominee receiving 1st or 2nd place votes from 12 of the judges. The winner is......

Hilton Hotels!
