The Hot List, the most controversial article of the year, is here. You love it, you hate, but either way, you read it.

This year we had record participation with almost 250 votes, which is at least 25 times the typical ChiBus readership and represents a massive proportion of the student body if one corrects for people who have no sense of humor.

I guess this whole festival was for some charity for leukemia and lymphoma or something, but like, if you're going to throw something called "Sausagefest," you've really got to make clear the type of "sausage" that's going to be available.
