Ben Jakks, NakedSwordsman of the Year

In further awards news today, Titan man Ben Jakks was crowned the new NakedSwordsman of the Year this week "following a long process that involved voter participation, a variety of write-in essays and heated internal debate among the Naked Sword staff" (but no swimsuit competition, at least according to the press release); true, he's only appeared in a scant handful of videos, but who are we to dispute the will of the people and/or the particulars of a marketing arrangement? Let's hope we see more of him in '05—he's not too hard on the eyes, after all. And besides, isn't public service what beauty pageants like this are all about?
