WE BEAT THE NY TIMES AND AARP

Thanks to all of you for putting up with the constant haranguing on here to vote for VBS in the "Webbies" but actual thanks to those of you who took up the call and helped us win three more ridiculous spring trophies.

Here's the rundown:

-Suroosh's old trip to the Gun Markets of Pakistan took the People's Choice award for "News & Politics: Individual Episode," blowing the ass off of the NYT's Toxic Waters series (possibly disqualified for not being an individual episode--hello!), Huffpo's thing about some guy who lost his house, and the AARP's examination of the failed closing of an unsuccessful newspaper in Colorado. Take that, Big Retirement!

-And The Vice Guide to Liberia swept both the official and People's Choice awards in the "Travel & Adventure" category, soundly pounding the likes of National Geographic, Conde Nast Traveler, and Field [snort] & Stream. If you would like to join us for further gloating we'll be at Hotel de'Ville in about 20 minutes.

Nicely done, internet.
