First off, this was not an easy contest to judge. Not because there were so many entries, but rather, I find looking at Chad Kroeger for extended periods of time to be grating and soul absorbing.
But seriously, this contest was tough because there were so many clever entries. Before I announce the winner, I'd like to give a big thank you to Proboscis. Not only did he make some great entries, but he made
twenty-one of them. Unfortunately Probo, none of your entries won, but the overall quality of your numerous submissions clearly makes you the Nickelking. Thanks for looking at his face long enough to make those entries!
Now, on to the winners:
Third Place - Suaig
This entry is really well done and funny,
but the idea isn't really original. Still, amazing job Suaig!

Second Place - GreyBlackJay
A well made and funny homage to Bowser: by Curtis.

First Place - Gnarlson
This entry received the most votes and eventually completely won me over due to it's brilliant simplicity. The shop is well done, sure, but the important part of this picture are the implications it presents; Chad Kroeger being too dumb to turn the picture towards the camera. Sure, it's not as flashy as some of the other entries, but I can safely say that something like this would probably piss off Chad himself. THAT is an accomplishment.
Congrats to everyone and thanks for all the great entries!
