Gabe Newell and moot ousted from Victoria's Secret beauty contest
Valve and 4chan founders took top spots, kicked
Bet you never thought you'd see Valve's Gabe Newell, 4chan's moot, and Victoria's Secret all in one story, huh? Well it's happening.
The lingerie company is currently hosting an Internet contest whereby candidates upload a picture of themselves to the Victoria's Secret website and tell the world why they love their body. The person who receives the most votes wins a 3-day "pampering getaway" for two to New York City.
The Internet being the Internet, managed to get imageboard/black hole of the web 4chan's leader 'moot' in the number one spot, and Valve's Gabe Newell at number two. The discriminating folks at Victoria's Secret weren't keen on this and have been removed from the contest, it seems, though their pages still exist with votes intact. Newell currently boasts 37,127 votes, up about 6,000 from yesterday alone, with moot not too far ahead.
Since the latter has already ranked as TIME Magazine's World's Most Influential Person (the irony), we say vote for Gabe.

kspiess Aug 27, 09If there is anyone that deserves some pampering it's Gabe Newell. Dude like built Steam with his bare hands and stuff. -
bruceleethree Aug 27, 09he needs to start exercising and eating better. for someone who created half-life, it would be a sad day to see him gone. -
THM Aug 28, 09I think Gabe Newell is going to die of "obesity" if he cannot control his excessive eating habit. He should be in the next biggest loser series, Hee Hee.....
