<p>The votes are in, lots of great entries and votes from <a href="http://broadcasting-brain.com/2008/04/03/inaugural-broadcasting-brain-twitter-word-association-contest/">yesterday&#8217;s Inaugural Broadcasting Brain Twitter Word Association Contest</a>.</p>
<p>As you recall, I asked the contestants to name the first word that came to mind when they saw the word &#8220;cheap&#8221;.</p>
<p>The winning word was&#8230;</p>
<p>(wait for it)</p>
<p><strong>WAL-MART!</strong></p>
<p>Congratulations to <a href="http://www.remarkablogger.com">Remarkablogger Michael Martine</a> and <a href="http://jeff-flowers.com/">social media enthusiast Jeff Flowers (aka Bukowsky)</a> on their winning entries!  Your prizes are in this paragraph.</p>
<p>Other popular entries included &#8220;shot&#8221;, &#8220;trick&#8221;, &#8220;Target&#8221; (sorry Mimzie), and &#8220;skate&#8221;.</p>
<p>However, the judge&#8217;s choice award goes to <strong>James Chartrand</strong> of <strong>Men With Pens</strong> for his witty response that virtually no one else would have imagined.</p>
