Pimp my bag finalists: Bribe Your Friends

Hey You,

Allow me to introduce you to the six finalists of the Hey Josh PIMP MY BAG contest brought to you by the attractive folks at TEAMWORK BAGS. Each finalist submitted a picture of their current pathetic attempt at a bag and an explanation as to why they deserve a pimped out Teamwork Bag.

Here’s how it works: You, the great readers of Hey Josh, get to vote for your favorite finalist. The Top 3 Vote-getters receive the glory of a new bag. Voting lasts until next Monday. Vote now. Bribe your friends. Bribe America.

Behold the finalists:

1. MICHAEL

tw-michael-baker1

In Michael’s words: “This is me visiting NASA. Because I don’t have a bag, so hence the sweet grocery bag that I carried everything around in. :) I know a Teamwork bag would help over the top! Woot woot!”

2. BRAD

tw-brad-robertson1

In Brad’s words: “I currently carry an old t-shirt in which I stapled some shoelaces to and rubber-banded the neck and sleeves to keep my pencils from falling out…”

3. BRADEN

tw-braden-weltz1

In Braden’s words: ”First of all they are the coolest bag I’ve ever seen, they blow my mind!!! Second, they would fit my books much nicer than any other bag I would ever have. The bag would not be a bag without me owning it.”

4. JAMIE

tw-jamie-christine-wilbraham1

In Jamie’s words: “If gifted, Jamie Christine Wilbraham will be a wholly successful, immensely grateful guardian of the newborn TEAMWORK bag. She will cherish the artful, recycled bundle with all the love she has, and always keep it close to her bod. She will give it a good home always, starting with a trip to Kentucky to live on a farm for the summer.”

5. AUBREY

tw-aubrey-oneal1

In Aubrey’s words: ”Every day when I go to school my backpack usually weighs at least half of my weight plus I have to carry my oboe, saxophone, gym bag, plus it is about to fall to pieces because of the huge hole on the bottom and I am always sore from carrying it around.”

6. JAZZY

tw-jazzy1

In Jazzy’s words: ”I would give the bag to my little sister. Reasons:  1. Her bag gets so full that the zippers no longer zip closed. (It’s like opening the bag forwards and backwards!) 2. The teamwork bag would probably also help take the pressure from all the books off her back…that way she doesn’t complain of back pain anymore.”

Which finalist is most worthy of a bag pimping?

  • Aubrey (34%, 278 Votes)
  • Michael (30%, 249 Votes)
  • Jamie (29%, 239 Votes)
  • Jazzy (4%, 33 Votes)

POSTED BY: Christine on March 17th, 2009 2:58 am

wow guys i didn’t expect you all to vote, i am excited! Yea I know i could use the teamwork bag, it would help tremendously. College, is quite the experience, and with no bag to carry my laptop, books, paper, supplies, diabetic stuff, yea it gets overwhelming trying to stuff half of it all down my pants. :P so Yes Most Definitely a Team Work bag will help out!

And hey, they are amazing looking and ego friendly. Great for the environment!

thanks guys. wish me luck! keep me in the top 3!

POSTED BY: Michael on March 17th, 2009 3:30 am

POSTED BY: ~josie x0x0x on March 17th, 2009 6:51 am

Michael should win this. He doesn’t have a bag at all. He doesnt worry about his breaking, he just has to carry all of hid books in his arms. Help him out, he’s a great person!

POSTED BY: Kirah on March 17th, 2009 7:59 am

Jamie is super awesome an will toatlly put the bag to good use so vote for her!! DO IT NOW!!

POSTED BY: Kimmy DV on March 17th, 2009 8:38 am

Hey I know Aubrey From school and she is a really sweet person and could really use this Bag!! She carries about 2 times what other students carry, and all of us carry a lot so she could really really really really use this!! VOTE AUBREY!! =)

POSTED BY: Erin on March 17th, 2009 9:33 am

JAMIE!

POSTED BY: david on March 17th, 2009 9:36 am

jamie wilberforce would benefit to the extreme with this new bag. she needs some good spacefor her books and a new bag that she can transfer her loving to since there is not much of her bag left that is available to be be loved.

POSTED BY: jordan on March 17th, 2009 9:38 am

so right now i’m sitting next to Aubrey in class and she showed me her backpack. There is a HUGE hole in the bottom! Its insane! I know that Aubrey deserves this bag and would really cherish it!! So Aubrey has my vote…and she should have your vote too!!!!!!!!!!

POSTED BY: Olivia on March 17th, 2009 9:41 am

ok so me and aubrey are like tight and she like needs to win or i will die………yea
VOTE FOR AUBREY OR YOU DIE!!!!!!!

POSTED BY: phillis on March 17th, 2009 10:38 am

my name is joy and I like bringing joy to people and me and aubrey just seem as though we are very much like each other, so if you vote for aubrey I will write you a poem and post it toinght :)

POSTED BY: joy on March 17th, 2009 10:43 am

OK. So Michael CLEARLY Deserves a bag. I agree with Kirah, he is not complaining about breaking anything or worrying about his back. True Aubrey deserves a bag because she has stuff. Loads of stuff. Michael and Aubrey both deserve the bags. Michael is one of my closest friends. He carries everything around and is such an inspiration. He has touched the lives of so many people with his humor, kind words, and positive outlook on life. He GREATLY needs this. Plus, hey doesn’t college give out enough stress? Let’s help him for all that he’s helped others with.

Good Luck Michael. You have my vote! <3

You deserve this.

POSTED BY: Stephanie on March 17th, 2009 1:02 pm

Yeah Aubrey! I really think you should win. Every day you carry your bags, all what, five??? You participate in a lot of things, and that should be holding you back!!! :)

POSTED BY: Kaylie Wierda on March 17th, 2009 1:24 pm

Michael deserves this! A bag with a hole in the bottom is 1000 times easier to carry than no bag at all!!!

POSTED BY: Kim on March 17th, 2009 1:47 pm

Michael deserves this bag. He’s has been through alot and is an amazing person. No offense but aubrey has many bags…michael has none. He is in college and a diabetic and has nothing to carry his things in and as a college student that is hard. Not everyone has the means to buy new things….so for those of you trying to get this bag..if you have money just go buy one!!!

POSTED BY: Me on March 17th, 2009 2:37 pm

AUBREY!!!!!! U ROCK!!! VOTE 4 AUBREY!!! SHE DESERVES IT MORE THAN ANY OF THOSE OTHER WIERDOS!!!!! VOTE AUBREY!!! LUV YA GIRLY!!!

POSTED BY: Tori Z. on March 17th, 2009 3:10 pm

I think Micheal deserves this bag. No one should have to carry around a grocery bag! He’s been through alot and he doesn’t have extra money to buy things. I relate to him, both of us being diabetics, and it’s essential for him to have something to carry his medicine and things he needs with him.

POSTED BY: Nicole on March 17th, 2009 3:13 pm

GO MIKE! YOU DESERVE THIS!!! VOTE FOR MIKE, HE DESERVES IT THE MOST!

POSTED BY: Me on March 17th, 2009 3:15 pm

POSTED BY: Becca on March 17th, 2009 3:33 pm

Everyone out there, may I have you’re attention Please, (and this is not the real slim shady!) My son has worked so hard for what he has accomplished and he Does deserve a new sporty bag! So all, please keep him in the top three or let’s just make him number one! I LOVE YOU SON AND KEEP DOING THE GREAT WORK THAT YOU ARE DOING! I’M SO VERY PROUD OF YOU!

VOTE AUBREY THOSE OTHER LOSERS DON’T NEES THIS!!! SHE DOES GOOOOOOOOOO AUBREY!!!!

POSTED BY: anomynous on March 17th, 2009 7:51 pm

Okay… so I know that all these people could use good backpacks, but all of these people could settle for a average backpack. Aubrey, however, really needs and deserves a big, durable teamwork bag.

POSTED BY: Julie on March 17th, 2009 8:22 pm

So, Aubrey really is pathetic going off to school loaded like a camel. Her current bag came from a box store that imports everything cuz her mom tried to save some bucks – bad move mom – Aub needs a a bag as strong a Kevlar as hap’nen as Wallie and as green as moose moss (you have to be a Canadian to get that one). Vote for her because you can!

I am rooting for you Mike! Your picture is awesome! Good luck to the other contestants! : D

POSTED BY: Alicia on March 17th, 2009 11:20 pm

You guys do realize that the top three winners ALL get backpacks right!?
So right now Aubrey, Jamie and Michael will all be getting one.

Just thought I’d let you guys know that.

POSTED BY: Allie on March 18th, 2009 11:22 am

Jamie needs one.

POSTED BY: Ryan on March 18th, 2009 1:46 pm

I love that Michael says Teamwork Bags are “ego friendly.” I’m guessing he meant ECO, but I kinda like ego friendly too!

POSTED BY: Justin on March 18th, 2009 3:25 pm

MIKE DESERVES THIS THE MOST. ALL THE WAY BABY!!!

POSTED BY: Nicole on March 18th, 2009 3:28 pm

GO MIKE!

POSTED BY: Nich on March 18th, 2009 3:30 pm

as my friend jenna put it to me yesterday, for all that stuff that aubrey needs to carry around, she doesn’t need a teamwork bag…she needs a shopping cart.

POSTED BY: Bradley Smith on March 18th, 2009 4:00 pm

Good Luck Michael! I hope you get this bag, you so deserve it!… We’re all rooting for you! Good Luck! from a BMB mom

POSTED BY: Sheryl Zaczek on March 18th, 2009 4:03 pm

VOTE JAZZY! needs it the most by far… thats supposed to sound good…never mind. good luck!

POSTED BY: Jake on March 18th, 2009 4:47 pm

?Y?

POSTED BY: local Idiot on March 18th, 2009 4:52 pm

haha, bradley, that’s not a bad idea. A shopping cart! Then I could run everyone over in the halls. O_0 You didn’t really hear me say that, did you?

POSTED BY: Aubrey O'Neal on March 18th, 2009 5:02 pm

AUBREY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vote for Aubrey! If you don’t, well you’re a dummy because Aubrey needs this backpack/shopping cart thingy.

P.S. VOTE FOR AUBREY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
repeatedly, of course! =D

POSTED BY: Aubrey's Bestie Who Loves Her! on March 18th, 2009 5:40 pm

Michael should win cause he lives in my hall!!!!!!!!!!
Go Mike!!

POSTED BY: Yira on March 18th, 2009 5:40 pm

Michael should get the bag! He is in my dorm and does so much for everyone, and I feel like crying for him because he deserves this! He aint done nothing to no one, i have just started to get to know him recently and he aspired me to do good with school! Im rooting for ya Mike! A.K.A. Toby! Come on.

Also you guys have to relaize that three bags are available! So its good to know that 3 people deserve bags.

POSTED BY: Karen on March 18th, 2009 5:47 pm

I know that I’m one of the contestants, but I’m thinking that some people should vote for Brad. I love the creativeness of his bag- I you can call it that? I guess I just think it creative and rather humorous.

POSTED BY: Aubrey O'Neal on March 18th, 2009 6:18 pm

I still love Aubrey! Go Aubrey GO! (hi Aubrey =]!!!!!!!)

POSTED BY: Aubrey's Bestie Who Loves Her! on March 18th, 2009 7:05 pm

Michael needs the bag the most. He is the most real entry. The girl with the oboe and a saxaphone needs much more than a Teamwork bag to make her seem cool. The poor guy is using a grocery bag to carry his stuff. He needs it.

POSTED BY: Thomas on March 18th, 2009 7:37 pm

Michael deserves the bag the most. He is awesome. The sweetest person I have ever met. He would treat it wonderfully.Come on guys he uses a shopping bag.Way to go Michael.:)

POSTED BY: Jessica Applebees on March 18th, 2009 8:03 pm

I wish you had chosen as one of your finalist someone named Pedro. It could have doubled as a social experiment that is whether people would vote for Pedro because they finally could.

POSTED BY: Bryan on March 18th, 2009 9:22 pm

So Michael NEEDS A BAG! He actually is borrowing a bag from a friend until he get’s his own bag! I know right, come on it clearly makes sense. He is awesome! We are all rooting for ya Mike! Toby or Whatever your nickname is!

By the way it looks it looks like Aubrey Jaimi and Michael are getting the bags, because they have been the top three since the beginning of the contest. And that of which is half over.

But Yea she may need grocery cart, but hey a Teamwork bag would help.

POSTED BY: mika' on March 19th, 2009 10:36 am

The teamwork bag isn’t going to do much for Aubrey. The bag is not going to make the load she carries any lighter or anything. The only thing it’s going to do is help with the hole. It isn’t a magical bag, that holds everything you have and makes it only weigh 5 pounds or anything. Just sayin’

POSTED BY: Just sayin' on March 19th, 2009 11:50 am

Michael deserves the bag the most. He is awesome and he ıs my baby’s brother. way to go mıcheal

POSTED BY: berkay sargın on March 19th, 2009 11:51 am

Yea it may not help with the load but the size can help her carry more with less bags and cases to carry.

POSTED BY: m-la on March 19th, 2009 12:01 pm

THOSE OTHER JERKS DON’T NEED THIS BAG!!!!! AUBREY DOES!!!! GOOOOOOOOO AUBREY!!!

POSTED BY: anomynous on March 19th, 2009 12:22 pm

I don’t think its necessary to use words like jerk and degrading comments to others. All 6 of the finalist’s deserve a bag. I know That I am one of those, but clearly saying degrading things is not necessary.
Jaimi’s photograph is very creative and so is Aubrey’s. You guys are fun.

Well good luck you guys!

POSTED BY: Michael on March 19th, 2009 12:50 pm

Personally, I think any of these people could use a new bag. I think they all deserve it too. And if you read the first paragraph at the top, it says that the top 3 all get bags. This really isn’t TOO much of a competition. Michael, Jamie and Aubrey will all be getting one at this point. I don’t think there’s any need to call people jerks or stupid or “dummys”.

It’s a “friendly” competition.

POSTED BY: Allie on March 19th, 2009 6:20 pm

Nice Quote Mark Usage
=)

POSTED BY: Erin on March 20th, 2009 6:08 am

Personally. I think that all six should get a new bag. I mean seriously why make a contest of it. Just because the top three are the top three doesnt mean they need the bag more than the odd balls out. Then you will be leaving three people that will feel like crap because they dont have as many friends as the others, all the people they know voted and still they lost, that and the contest kinda got thier hopes up but when they failed they would end up feeling worse than before. And if not I’m sure that some could go out and buy a new bag. Maybe. Yet some may not have the time or money.

HEY JOSH,
I have a solution. How about just giving everyone a bag. It would be the …whats the word I’m looking for…better? thing to do.

I didnt vote, because I believe all of them deserve a bag!

POSTED BY: Eric on March 20th, 2009 7:50 am

Michael
Brad
Jazzy

Should get the new bags.
The other three have at least decent bags.

Should go as the people who deserve the bags.

POSTED BY: b on March 20th, 2009 3:43 pm

Are You serious??
Aubrey’s has a HUGE hole in the Bottom!! That bag IS NOT decent.

POSTED BY: m-la on March 20th, 2009 4:47 pm

Well….Mr. Eric

OBVIOUSLY it was a contest for a reason. Anyone who applied knew that they were going to have a 50/50 chance.

It’s called a contest for a reason. The rules clearly stated that out of 6 finalist only 3 would receive a bag. So….. what’s the word i’m looking for…..To bad!

Hey Josh! Keep up the good work!

Eric. go eat cheese from a goat, it’s “good for the spirit”. :)

POSTED BY: Eric's semi twin! on March 20th, 2009 6:19 pm

OOOOOOH! I know this has nothing to do with anything but if you scroll all the way down there is a goat type thingy in the bottom right corner. Put your mouse cursor thingy over it and it has like green things coming out of its eyes!!!! It’s super cool!

POSTED BY: Anonymous on March 20th, 2009 8:59 pm

PEOPLE! its just a couple bags. seriously. not worth this much time and effort. Volunteer for somethin. Right now the world seems to need volunteers.
