Dammit, you beat me to it! You know this is my absolutely favorite literary contest. I blogged it last year.
This year, Norman Mailer won, posthumously

This is excellent. Reminds me of a Dinosaur Comics strip about corporate-sponsored erotica. Be sure to move your mouse over the comic to see the hidden joke –
“Amelia loved McDonalds. The food, the company, the lifestyle. The good feelings spreading through her body were like McDonalds: aggressively globalizing, yet non-exploitative. She moaned again. ‘MMMMMM’ she said, and Antonio finished her thought with a whispered ‘cDonalds’.”
Also, the Irish comedian Dylan Moran had a good line about why there’s no male lingerie: “It’s hard to do anything with something that looks like it should be hanging out of the side of a shark’s mouth.”

A free tip for any non-romance writer – avoid sex scenes in the first place!
