Martha Loses Decorating Contest In The Slam

It's hard enough to spend the holidays in the hole, but I imagine the festivities in a federal prison aren’t all that wonderful, even if it is Christmas. I'm sure it's even harder to take if you are Martha Stewart and your team just lost a prison holiday decorating contest. That’s right; team Martha, lost the prison holiday decorating contest.

How’s that taste Martha? You made billions of dollars showing people how to make their holiday decorations and cakes, and cookies, but some other cons in the hole won the contest. Each prison team was given $25 worth of glitter, ribbons, construction paper and glue to build displays based on the theme ‘peace on earth’. Martha and her fellow cons made paper swans. The other team of hardened criminals made a nativity. They won. Scoreboard.

Maybe she is losing her touch; maybe being on the inside has stymied her creativity. Maybe she isn’t going to be the same person when she gets out. Maybe all her cakes will taste like crap. Maybe people will think all her decorations are ugly. Maybe she will be like that guy from Shawshank and do better living on the inside and never want to come out.

Hey, if she is losing to some felons in a paper swan making contest, then something is going on. Hey, only a few more months Martha. She's scheduled to be out in early march and I am sure all of your papier-Mâché skills will come back in no time. Martha Stewart lost a decorating contest? That would be like OJ losing a ‘killing people’ contest.
