I'm beginning to think that "hustle" and "hustler" has jumped the shark.

We already owe so many push ups!

Challenge Accepted: pushups in Banana Suites

I will so do pushups in a banana suit if we win.

This is pretty painful. Firstly, I'm sure such vote-buying is against the rules, or at least against the spirit of any such award. Secondly .. is this what it's come to guys? This? "Vote for us, not because you like us, but because we'll do pushups"?

These guys need to go home and rethink their lives.

If that's helpful, they'd be doing it already. It sounds to me like a ridiculous idea. So why even suggest it? These guys are clowns.

If you want, I'll do a clown suit over a banana suit, but I don't think that's as funny ;)

Dude, the banana suit isn't funny either. I'm sorry but someone has to tell you.

How about you make a good product? Then you won't need to pull these stunts. Or if you have one - promote it differently. Seriously.

Good luck though and I hope I didn't come across as mean. I wouldn't say anything if I didn't care <3 <3 <3

You came across just fine. We're really just trying to have some fun with this. You make great points though. Thanks!
