As Laurisa and I prepare for the Fifth Annual Golden Doughnut Awards, which will be announced on Monday, December 26, 2011, we always like to take a look back at the previous winners. Like last year, we decided on a side-by-side comparison of who’s won these “coveted” awards since we began handing out our cyber Golden Doughnut statuettes in 2007.
