Who won?

It's been played in newsrooms since the early 20th century and now Free-Floating Hostility proudly brings "Who Won?" to the blogosphere. This will be FFH's first regular feature, and though it may lack the sophistication of 34's This Week in the New Yorker, we feel it has a chance to really catch on.

The game is simple. Each Sunday morning Anna and I will turn to the New York Times' wedding page, look through the pictures and decide who got the better end of each deal. For gay couples we will count the frequency of clear winners. For straight couples, we will also tally up winners by gender. Ties and disputes between the judges will also be noted. We assume that we get the same announcements as our NYC readers, so feel free to play at home and post your results.

2 January 2005
Gay Couples with Clear Winner: 1 of 1
Straight Couples with Clear Winner: 5 of 7
Men: 4
Women: 1
Ties: 1
Disputed Results: 1

Also noted from wedding section, though not eligible for "Who Won?" as no photo was included, Gordon Christopher CC '02 got married to the Senator's kidnapped daughter from Silence of the Lambs (or perhaps a different Catherine Martin).
