We have a winner!
It was a close race between Pug-ly Lamp, Deerly Departed and Broken Leg Lamp, with each contestant averaging 25% of the votes, but it came down to only one. The final, grand-prize winner and recipient of a $75 gift card to LightingDirect.com is ….
Broken Leg Lamp!
Congratulations on your utter ugliness, Broken Leg Lamp! (And yes, Broken Leg Lamp is indeed a lamp, as someone conspiratorially whispered in the comments that it might not be so). This lamp was a memento made for by Brittany’s father-in-law, for her husband Jared after he broke his leg over a decade ago! Ew! Well, give your in-laws a hug tonight Brittany, because they just helped you win the coveted title of Ugliest Lamp!
Second Place was just way too close to call, it changed every minute. My personal vote was for Raging Man, I laughed out loud every time I looked at him, but dang, it was so hard to choose. Thanks so much everyone for participating! I can’t wait til next year!

September 10, 2011 at 5:57 AMWhat a great contest! The cast lamp was truly awful, even if the headless dog was my favorite.

September 9, 2011 at 11:03 PMThe broken leg lamp is like the Leg Lamp from a Christmas Story gone wrong. Congrats!
Sandy
September 9, 2011 at 11:03 PMI had a hard time choosing between the deer legs lamp and the broken leg lamp. Both are really, really ugly! I have to say, it was fun seeing all these lamps. Great contest!
Aleksandra Robinson
September 9, 2011 at 11:05 PMOh my lordie, that lamp was UGLY! And I thought my great-grandma had some winner in her house. She had a fiber-optic lamp in a melamine box. It was hideous, but nothing compares to these guys…

September 9, 2011 at 11:16 PMThose were all ugly lamps, but the cast really takes “ugly lamp” to the next level of ugliness!
Jen
September 9, 2011 at 11:16 PMThese were the most hideous lamps I’ve ever seen. Thanks for all the fun! (And the great giveaway!)
Korrie@RedHenHome
September 9, 2011 at 11:19 PMI can’t believe that you had two ugly AND disgusting entries this year. A used cast? Deer feet?? What were these people THINKING?!?

September 9, 2011 at 11:23 PMThere were certainly some butt-ugly lamps in that little collection!
Julia Hayes
September 9, 2011 at 11:26 PMI voted for all three of the top ugly lamps. I don’t know if that means I have good taste or if I’m just an accidental lemming. I painted my room grey like 2 months before it became the new neutral, but no one knows that. They think I can’t do anything of my own originality! Anyway, a Target gift card would be awesome. I saw some throw pillows there that would match my room perfectly… dang it.

September 9, 2011 at 11:29 PMI voted for the leg lamp, what a champ. I think it was your description of running your hand up it to switch it on and off that made me cringe that did it.
I’m sure I could come up with about a million uses for an awesome target giftcard!

ALSO, I forgot to mention that when I excitedly told my husband that we had won the contest he grinned and said, “Does this mean we get to take the lamp home to our house now?” NOOOOOOOO! Never gonna happen babe. 🙂

September 10, 2011 at 12:20 AMThis contest just made my week. Every time I looked at these lamps it made me giggle. Let’s just hope that this wont spark a new trend. Can you just imagine a room dedicated to casts and deer parts….(as I shudder)
Danae
September 10, 2011 at 12:27 AMThat lamp is nasty ugly! My fave was the deer leg lamp….
Catherine
September 10, 2011 at 12:29 AMThat was an amazing ugly lamp roundup. Seriously you do begin to wonder who gave the okay for things like that to be manufactured — like the angry man… in what situation would that work?!
So glad the broken leg lamp won. That was truly amazing!

September 10, 2011 at 5:15 AMThey were all horrible, but I had to vote for Deerly Departed out of respect for the deer that gave its life for our illumination.

September 10, 2011 at 5:49 AMOooh, I’m heart broken the baby zombies didn’t win but equally creeped out by the cast lamp. Well played smelly cast. Well played.

Emily Wilkins
September 10, 2011 at 5:54 AMThose were some seriously hideous lamps! I was a bit surprised that the leg cast won; I thought for sure it would be the deer or the pug. Speaking of winning, I’d love to win a Target gift card!

September 10, 2011 at 11:53 AMLol the broken leg lamp is just too good. Like really, who would even think to create such a thing? congrats to whomever would read by that lamp! 🙂
Life As We Know It
September 10, 2011 at 12:26 PMI kinda liked the broken leg lamp it was a great way to show off that cast…although I probably would’ve redone it to make it more mordern looking… A little spray paint can go a loooong way! 😉

September 12, 2011 at 5:38 PMIf I ‘had’ to have one, it would be the Cast lamp because it would probably cast a good shadow in my room. The Deer lamp gives me the creeps. Thanks for the fun contest!

September 12, 2011 at 6:56 PMDefinitely voted for the “ugly leg lamp”. I wonder sometimes what people are thinking when they have those off-the wall type pieces in homes. Makes me think and re-evaluate the stuff I have in my home.

September 13, 2011 at 11:41 AMLoved this contest! I am still horrified that someone not only saved their nasty cast, but went so far as to turn it into a lamp! I would love to win the Target gc, as we are in the middle of a major home renovation and our $5,000 budget is dwindling so fast on boring things like trim and concrete, etc… I promise I’ll post cute afters if I win! (The after might not be cute if I don’t win…)

September 13, 2011 at 1:31 PMWhat a great contest. I think everyone’s major concern should be that Target starts paying attention and accidentally reproduces the ‘winner’ thinking people want one!!

September 14, 2011 at 7:10 AMGreat contest and I think the best man, er, lamp, won. It was close between the deer feet and the cast. There’s something gruesome about these creations that takes them beyond ugly. Your contest has been howlingly funny!
