And then there were two. You've decided that Muppet Madness and Fug Madness will battle it out for The Atlantic Wire's Inaugural Battle of the Brackets. Of course this means bidding farewell to our competitors from Jezebel and Foreign Policy. Dictators vs. Democrats and Sex vs. Chocolate, you both fought valiantly and honorably ... and there's always next year.
So moving on. This is what you voted for: Fug Madness vs. Muppet Madness.

And Now:
As we mentioned earlier, these two brackets beat the best of the best to get here. Just to recap, Fug Madness crushed Jezebel's Sex vs. Chocolate in the last round, sending the top seed packing. And that's been their story of late. After breezing by Garden and Gun, the Fug Girls' fans have turned up the heat and voted in droves--throughout the tournament, Fug Madness's contests have consistently had the biggest voter turnout, which probably accounts for the last two thrashings at the expense of the higher-seeded Jezebel and Vulture.
