Dude! What were we thinking? Worst prom photo results are in. Go to photo gallery
Here's how we reacted to the many entries to our "Bad Prom Picture" contest:
"Yikes!"
"Someone should call 911."
"Aaauuughhhh!"
"It's ALIIVVE!!!"
All we can say is, those who submitted their prom pictures for hundreds of thousands of St. Petersburg Times readers to gawk at are either extremely brave souls with a highly evolved sense of humor, or they are beings from a distant galaxy who have inadvertently exposed their alien identities and should be promptly rounded up by Homeland Security.
How can we possibly reward them? We'd like to send the winners to the Vinoy for dinner, but they'd never pass the dress code.
Excuse us for a moment while we root around under our desks for some dust-covered objects du jour that cross our desk from persistent flacks. Okay, big prizes all set.
Our first-place winners, Jon and Robin Muller of Seminole (they got married!), get a duct-tape rose. Our second-place winners, Celena and John Ossi of Tarpon Springs (they got married, too!), get a fine Stella Artois drinking glass (has a gold-plated lip on it). Our third-place winner, Jo Ann Ellis of Clearwater for her 1967 photo of Chuck Rohr and Carolyn Workman, gets a roll of Kodak Max color film (24 exposures).
