Last week on Current.com - 9/8-9/14

Hey guys,

Things have been super busy around these parts. With the announcement of Hack the Debate we've all been anchored down, steadily anticipating September 26th. It's going to be a very interesting experiment, and we are trying to get as many people involved as we possibly can, so help us spread the word. If you haven't heard the news yet, you can read up on it here:

So, let's dive into last week in Current:

// VC2 Leaderboard Winner //

Last Thursday was a tough battle over on the VC2 Leaderboard, but The Two Faces of Anonymous took a steady lead in the end. If you haven't checked it out yet, give it a spin. Congrats to AceHardchester and crew for a job well done!

// Top Five Contributors //

In a new addition to Last week in Current, I'm going to start highlighting the top five clippers from last week. They submitted a healthy dose of stories, blogs, and items for the community to chew on, and our thanks goes out to them:

Without contributions, Current can get to be pretty dull, and thanks to them we all had plenty to mull over during the week. Way to go guys, keep it up and we'll see who takes the top five next week!

    I just want to point out that Ace Hardchester is a known alias of Andy Kaufman and there are conspiracy theorists who believe Andy is still alive. Is Andy (well known for his trouble-making and media manipulating) behind this Anonymous shenanigans? Is this Ace Hardchester THE Ace Hardchester? Will hamburglar ever get his hands on a bigmac? I leave it to y'all to decide.
