Slate: For Slate V's Comedy News Contest, all you have to do is find a real news story, work it into a side-splitting joke, make a video of yourself telling the joke, and upload it to us by Oct. 26, 2007. Guest judge Kevin Bleyer, a writer for The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, will choose a winner and several runners-up. The first-prize winner gets $500, and the top five jokes get a featured appearance on Slate V in early November.
