We caught the Deadspin article about AdWeek having a Blog of the Decade contest.   Hell I didn’t know such an award was out there.  We were flattered to be considered in Blog of the Decade.  We went over to check it out. Heh, What?  No RumBunter?  Well, I would have to vote for Deadspin then.  They’re hilarious.  Do it.  Perez Hilton will hate you forever.
