We're not marketing experts so we miss out on golden opportunities to publish stuff and then have a contest and an awards ceremony devoted to the stuff we publish - apparently, we should, but we'd still want to make it look open and transparent, so we'd call it "Best Scientific Blogging ..." and include a few outside (i.e., not large enough to be a competitor) pieces.

Or we could just write naked.

But we can't criticize other sites for being smarter marketers than we are so here you go; the nominations for the 1st annual Naked News Awards have just been announced.   Nominee videos in all 10 categories are available for viewing - you'll never guess what URL they can be found at.

Voting is open for the next 3 weeks. and then the winners will be revealed on the Naked News Awards Show on May 24, 2009, which will be broadcast exclusively at ... you'll never guess the URL again ... and hosted by two of their naked correspondents, Whitney St. John and Ariella Banks.

Whitney St. John, not naked. 

It's like the Oscars, except for naked people who are not porn stars.   And apparently competition is fierce.   Lucas Tyler, Producer of Naked News said, "It was extremely difficult selecting only 3 nominees in each of the 10 categories."

At least he said difficult instead of hard.

They have categories like Sexiest Guest and Best Audition.    Dr. Victoria Zdrok, for example, has written 2 books, was a Playboy centerfold as well as a Penthouse's Pet of the Year and is up for Sexiest Guest.  Some guy who wasn't all that funny on the Howard Stern show is up for best interview.

Ariella Banks, also not naked.

Naked News launched in 1999 on the Internet and has also branched into television and mobile. Naked NewsTV! is currently available on Television to about 35 million North American homes via Indemand, TVN, Bell ExpressVu, and other North American broadcasters. They say it is the most successful crossover from the Internet to Television in history.

So go to ... oh fine, here it is ... NakedNews.com (unlikely to be safe for work) ... and vote on your favorite!   If you aren't sure who any of them are, just pick the photo you like the best.  That's all everyone else is doing.
