Welcome back to the New York Magazine Competition. On alternate Mondays, we lay out a challenge and offer a sample responses. Enter in the comments section, or on Twitter with the hashtag we’ve provided, and the editors will select a winner. Criteria are highly subjective, but heavily retweeted and favorited posts will have an advantage. The prize is a year’s subscription to New York in print or a two-year subscription to the iPad edition (winner’s choice). Full rules are here.
COMPETITION NO. 44: “REPLACE A WORD WITH ‘KITTEN.’” Please modify a familiar phrase, title, or aphorism by replacing a word with “kitten” or “kittens.” For example:
Star Wars: The Kitten Strikes Back
The New York Times: “All the kittens that are fit to print.”
The Unbearable Lightness of Kittens
Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Kittens (But Were Afraid to Ask)
Enter on Twitter with the hashtag #replaceawordwithkitten, or in the comments thread below, by April 2.
RESULTS OF COMPETITION NO. 43: “SHOWS FOR BROS,” in which you were asked to offer a TV show tailored to the dude sensibility.
