It's not that I think stupidity should be punishable by death. I just think we should take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem take care of itself.

Wow, I have to say 2006 was quite a good year for Slaps! In general I try to include the top couple of vote getters from each month, but that's not a hard and fast rule. In some cases I only picked the winner, in others there are up to four from a single month. You know - editorial prerogative and all. And what would a yearly Slap vote be without Jamie Bamber? He may just win the Editor's Choice award again, although I have to admit, the editor is sorely tempted by some of the other men on the list.
So let's have it! Who's the hottest Slap of 2006?
Update: Don't worry, I'll keep voting open for a few more days so you can ... "ponder" ... your choices. I've pondered all of them several times already.
Update 2 (1/3/2007): Wow! Jamie is in the lead! I, of course, am a huge fan (surprise, huh?), but I never expected him to win Slap of the Year! Apparently I've become Bamberama headquarters...
Update 3 (1/4/2007): Jamie's still in the lead, but I promise there's no need to call Jimmy Carter and the U.N. election monitors. In reviewing the voting records, it appears that someone in Brazil may be using their dial-up account to cast extra votes for Jamie. Maybe. NetGeo records aren't all that reliable from Brazil, apparently. I'll be evaluating the matter further over the next day or so.
