Club Med Insider

Caption Contest

by Parentopia on June 1, 2009

See this picture? Don’t understand it? Is it confusing? Does it frighten you? And before you question us about how a travel crib can be scary, think for a minute about what some hotel strollers and cribs can look like. Now reboot your brain because we’ve seen the strollers and cribs at Club Med and they are clean, meet or exceed current safety standards and are in such good shape that we didn’t immediately realize families didn’t bring their own strollers and cribs to Cancun.

But this crib doesn’t belong to us. In fact we stole it. That’s right, we took it. In broad daylight. Totally absconded with it. And yes, there is a story behind it we'll share with you. Eventually. But we’re not going to focus upon our alleged felonious activity right now. Instead we’re going to have a caption contest.

We want you to come up with a creative caption for this picture. We're looking for one that makes us laugh so loud our kids will tell us to knock it off and pipe down.

Here's how the caption contest will work. You can enter the contest as many times as you like from June 2nd- July 2nd. Leave your entry in the comments below. The winner will be picked by us based upon our own criteria-which mainly means we have to think your caption is pretty damn funny.

Grand prize is a Montreal Graco Playard with Newborn Napper. It's the same kind of playard you will find at Club Med's family resorts!

And there are more ways to win, plus a bonus prize:

Rebecca says Dear Baby,

We loved the Montreal Graco Playard with newborn napper so much, that we decided to take IT on vacation with us, and not YOU, the baby..
You wouldn't believe just how comfortable this thing really is..

Wish you were here!

Jessee says WANTED!
Thelma & Louise
For the crimes of (well the most recent crime being) intentional playpin robbery. And the possibility that they enjoyed it as much as the child was.
It is understood that they are armed with highly explosive diapers and semi automatic spit up.

$50,000

John says "In this photo on the cover of 'Crime Times' magazine of Cancun, Mexico; the infamous duo dubbed the 'Graco Napper-Nappers' (AKA: Devra and Aviva), and still on the run, looking more like movie stars than anything else, are depicted appearing calm and relaxed. Often smiling and laughing brazingly, as they stood over their heist. They later told reporters: 'It was like taking candy from a baby'..." Posted June 30, 2009, 7:01 am

amy says Next on America's Most Wanted...(photo)...Have you seen these THREE? Two are said to have been caring for babies, changing diapers, blogging, and going on vacation. The other is said to be their accomplice that travels with them and can help keep the kids in line (if you know what I mean). Reports are stating that Club Med is their hide out of choice. One of our sources say that Cancun may be their current destination. Caution needs to be used when approaching these three....as it may result in having fun! Posted July 2, 2009, 7:18 am

Chrysa says Um, ladies? Are you missing someone? ....say about 18" tall and crying a lot? Posted July 2, 2009, 10:24 am

John says Just wondering: When the winner of the caption contest be announced? I'm sort of anxious to find out, because my best friend in the whole world just had her baby on the 4th of July. She's only 25 years old and a single mom, so I really want to win this to give it to her :) Posted July 6, 2009, 6:28 am
