TL;DR version? No, but the chance to win money can cause ugly people.

As many of you may know, my wife, @uglysweater, recently hosted an Ugly Christmas Sweater contest. Well, today the winners were announced and prizes were distributed...But a problem arose. @fourfourfun did a quick reverse image search using tineye.com, only to find out that 1st and 2nd place winners were plagiarists with a decent knowledge of Photoshop. He brought this to my wife's attention, and sure enough - he was right.

I was astounded!

That being said, @cvmidwife has now become our 1st place winner and I have personally sent her the remaining 3 SBD. Not only that, but I sent a little reward to @marzi for the super adorable sweater that they entered. I also sent a small thank you to @fourfourfun for bringing this problem to our attention! (btw, I'm jealous of your sweater)

^{(flagged just enough to remove comment rewards without hurting rep score...because I'm pseudo-nice - But watch yourselves because you are now on @berniesanders' plagiarism radar. I assure you.)}
