Oh, Mr. Guitar...

Slate.com hosted a contest where if one identifies all of the unreleased Dylan clips they win a prize. What Slate probably did not realize is that the majority of the clips could be found on YouTube, learning their lesson only after millions of e-mail entries flooded their mailbox.

In order to remedy the problem the website has decided to make everybody a winner, much like Time Magazine did. Bob Dylan will be busy signing guitars. He cancelled his tour but Slate assures us that it will be worth it once they receive their guitars in the mail.

The website has not even posted the answers to the contest questions, fearing that so many people would claim to have won the contest that it would crash their web server. Senator Joe Lieberman, who has guaranteed victory in the contest, says that his entry was probably lost when their system crashed when the first two thousand entries were received. He blames it all on Ned Lamont.

The results are still being tallied and the painfully wretched lyrics still being judged by Slate. Slate assures the contest participants that they will have drawn it down to one hundred possible "official" winners by next Christmas.
