UPDATED: 6/19/201
It has come to our attention that the original Best In Show winner was in violation of our rules and to be fair it was disqualified. We now declare that “Doctor Poingeckster and Flamingor” by Kasey Tararuj is the the new 2012 grand champion of MUNNYWORLD. Because of this decision, Sean Viloria has been awarded Best RAFFY and Charles Rodriguez is now Best FOOMI.
