Reason Weekly Contest: Misbehaving Superheroes
Last week's winners revealed.
Welcome back to the Reason Weekly Contest! This week's question is:
A Times Square miscreant who first slugged a cop while dressed as Spider-Man has been arrested again, this time for cursing out a cop while dressed as the Incredible Hulk. Come up with a cheesy headline about the next Superhero acting badly in Times Square.
How to enter: Submissions should be e-mailed to contest@reason.com. Please include your name, city, and state. This week, kindly type "SUEPRHERO" in the subject line. Entries are due by 11 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday, Dec. 7. Winners will appear Dec. 11, right here at Reason.com.
