America Wins Back Creative Crown
U.S. Ties Britain in Medals Count
In a surprise turn around, the U.S. orchestrated a strong come back today tying the U.K. 3-3 in the overall medals count for Creative Caption contest. We are pleased to announce that hometown favorite Bruce Pilgrim has taken the prize for June.
Pilgrim, CEO of Bruce Pilgrim Marketing Communications, LLC, and author of Talking to My Cats: A Small Business Journal, won with the caption, "Lot's wife and her sister at the mall." Despite the confusion and subsequent storm of controversy surrounding the disqualification of two other finalists for cheating last week, Pilgrim wooed our international panel of judges and emerged the winner. He was able to get three first-choice and one second-place pick to secure the win.
"This is the highlight of my long and extinguished career," Pilgrim said. "It totally eclipses the religion medal I got in the 7th grade at Precious Blood Elementary School. I was this close to entering the priesthood until I looked up 'celibacy' in the dictionary."
Pilgrim, shown left with his religion medal, plans to use some of the $1,000 prize money to help fund his campaign to make failing to use the serial comma a federal offense. "The rest I'll probably spend on pornography," he added.
Congratulations Bruce! Best wishes with the serial-comma prevention campaign. It is such a horrible affliction that plagues the PR profession. We applaud your courage and selflessness. What a great example of the American spirit put into action.
U-S-A... U-S-A... U-S-A!
POST SCRIPT: We'd like to thank Mark Ragan, CEO of Ragan Communications for sponsoring this months contest.
