Gizmodo
We received many, many fine entries for our HDTV and Media Center contest, but sadly for all the contestants, there can only be one winner. This time that winner is James Cahoon, who sent in this lovely entry of his girlfriend posing seductively next to a fully-functional GE portable 8-track player. Congratulations to James and his lovely girlfriend—you've now got yourselves a new HDTV and Media Center Extender.
And to the rest of our readers? Stick around tomorrow for the runner up gallery. You're going to want to see these.

Not teh win. :(
come on Giz, NSFW main page photo!
What the....YOU CHEATING HO!
Man, if only my girlfriend had boobs that big and I had an 8-track player....
seriously though, my girl needs bigger breasts.
@ferment78: 2nd-ed
Not fair!, sexy always wins :(
okay - sorry Giz - you all need to go research "seductive" if you really think that photo above is seductive_
@ferment78:
Not save for work ? Oh come on ... she is fully clothed ...
Fashion Magazin covers feature models with a lot less clothing on.
@uberfu:
Kinda true ... not seductive but very blunt "Look at me i got the sex"
Okay, Giz, be honest. Did you even *notice* the 8-track player at first?
Aw come on, she's hot, she wins. End of discussion.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" (Or Giz Staff)
My girl is definitely hotter...my gadget, definitely not as crappy :(
Sex sells! Can I buy some? Please?
@ferment78: I agree. I want a NSFW pic of her on the front page!! If he's getting a free TV, we should at least get a lil' nipster.
shouldn't girlfriend be in quotes?
at least italicized.
8-Track player? Where?
@Redwraithvienna: I don't work at a fashion magazine....do you?
meh.
@uberfu: May I direct you to this for a frame of reference:
[gizmodo.com]
wait, why does that 8-track have breasts? and hair?
wait a minute...
Damnit! I forgot I wanted to do an entry for this contest. I've got a betamax player and hot girls going through my work all the time.
Sad day.
Have yet to see the runners-up, but this is a great shot. Beautiful girl, great light, love her pose. but the background...c'mon, a black sheet from target would have sufficed to spice it up a little, and place a regular lamp without a shade on it behind her for backlighting. le sigh.
@ferment78:
She has clothes on, so how would this be NSFW?
@nutbastard:
+1
Damn, I had no idea some people still had these things!!
...I don't mean the girlfriend, of course.
congrats!
again, the keywords are: hot, sexy, cute, flaming, sexy legs, boobs (fake, real, natural,etc), halle berry, all the likes...
Ooh I forgot to mention ME 2.
Can I borrow your gf for a quick 1 minute. I'll need to tune AM/FM radio buttons on her to make sure I'm getting the right frequency... :-)
@Blackti3: Yes of course... all of our girlfriend's are far hotter.
thats some enormous..... iPod simulating device. (thought I was gonna refer to the girl, didnt ya?)
if that is nsfw, you should close your browser and go back to work.
Dang... some guys are so lucky! I wish I could have some of that...
With the plethora of hardcore porn literally at your fingertips, why is this so appealing? Sex sells, not fully clothed (hopefully legal) teenage girls with 8 track players.
I want to hold and squeeze that 8 track player. I want to put my mouth on that 8 track player and just run my tongue around the edges. Is that wrong?
I'd hit it...and I mean that 8-track with a bat.
If only I had a hot girl... then maybe my 8088 in the closet could be worth something.
@MACHETE_BEAR
Well hopefully I'll make the runner-up post, consolation prize please, Gizmodo!
No really though, she is hotter, but an 8-track definitely beats a cheap chinese dvd player.
other entries to accompany the winner?
Now I wish I would have entered. This is a goofy photo.
that's one fine lady...
@ferment78:
I work for a museum ... but i do it in Europe ... maybe we are just a bit more relaxed with stuff like that :) (especially when no nasty parts are showing)
I was going to mod out my fully functional Mac SE into a clear Lucite case, but my mom wouldn't pose sexy with it.
Grandma said she would, but I told her I wasn't going to put cheesecake shots of my 92 year old granny on the net.
Thats what Viagras for.
This proves not all men who frequent Giz are antisocial geekazoids who can't score.
Thankfully only a photo was needed. Otherwise if she had to suck in her gut during a video of her using the thing she woulda passed out.
I HAD THE FUCKIN CRAPPIEST GADGET! and my pale hairy chest was pretty funny right?
@Redwraithvienna:
nasty parts - like the 8 track cassette?
Yeah come on guys, a seductive scantily clad chick is not OK to look at at work. unless you work with all guys or in a fashion magazine. I could have got in trouble if my boss saw me looking at that front page photo.
Come on Giz, let's see all the entered photos!
Shouldn't your boss see you working instead of looking at Gizmodo?
Yeah I didn't enter this purely for the fact that I knew somebody would have a far crappier gadget than I could get a hold of in that short a period of time.
Hmmm. You know, I had every intention of asking my girl if she'd let me enter, but I chickened out. I kept thinking, 'What if I enter her and we don't win?' She might have her feelings hurt, or feel unattractive in comparison to the winner. Now, I realize I had no reason to be afraid. I even had some fantastic gadgets in mind, I'm not a half-bad photographer, and my girl (no offense to the winner, she's very pretty) could own this sort of contest. So thanks, Giz, for this contest. It definitely helped me appreciate what I have, and I'll be keeping an eye out for more contests like it. If you think these photos were seductive, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
@faust1200: LOL.
(and I actually Laughed out loud, I didn't laugh on the inside and then put LOL like many people do. That's Why Their's LOI (laughing on the inside)
Lame. If you're giving away a TV, we should see that rack flashed.
Also, if you have a girlfriend with a rack like that, why do you need a TV, you hoser?
@Kaiser-Machead: You too!? god damn
i was gunna buy a cheap gizmondo and have somone model with it
@flyboy:
Nipples and other parts of the body which are used / have a function in reproduction :)
@ FERMENT78 where do you work dork. NSFW would be something like 2girls, and even that should fly. Get a new job.
++Extra points to James Cahoon for picking a gf, however cute, Dumb enough to put her Corset on Backwards.
-Must be low maintenance.
Bleh. Unimpressed.
The real question is:
How many times did the judges fap to this pic? Seriously.
i'm disappointed. yeah, she's cute but its just not very creative.
new contest please: i need time to prepare. (go to my parents house and dig around in the basement and look at 80's playboys for ideas, acquire some sort of harness and trapeze system, hire photographer)
Bah. Gawker contests are always interesting. I hate interesting contests.
...She won?
Congratulations James... I just masturbated to your girlfriend.
Wow the expression on that hooker is all like
What is this guy making me do here...
@liroku: Nah, there are still plenty of reasons. Look at some of the comments here. "My girl's hotter!" "Eh, not so great." "What an airhead!"
Anyway, looks like a solid winner. I agree with Gokusfanclub that it isn't a very creative or witty photo, but it fulfills the criteria, and you can't really complain if you didn't submit anything better.
