We have a weirdo. We had 64 of them, but this one’s the biggest.
Look at that weird guy.
It was a tight final vote. Marilyn Manson won 19–17 on Instagram, but Michael Jackson’s 4–1 Google Form victory was enough to push him over the edge for a 21–20 final score in favor of the King of Pop. Congratulations to Michael Jackson’s estate, who we assume will be accepting this honor on his behalf.
As promised, we have The People’s Rankings, our formulaic approach to lining these weirdos up from weirdest to least weird based on your votes. Jason Sudeikis? Not very weird. Slightly less weird than John Lennon. Here’s the list.

In other bracket news, we’ll have the Round of 16 for ITYSB tomorrow, and we’re going to do some narrowing down to set the America’s Backbone field beginning…Monday? That one’s more up in the air. You can still nominate if you want to. Here’s the form. Get ‘em in quick, though. Who can say when I’ll get to the thing I originally wanted to get to Wednesday night?
