Alcatraz prison in the 20s housed many hard core criminals. Nevertheless, the Annual Animal Imitation Competition was always a big hit with the inmates. Defending champion Robert Stroud aka the Birdman of Alcatraz was the favorite with his bird calls. Al Capone came in well prepared with his pig grunts and many of the judges in his back pocket. To minimize rigging, the new voting system required each judge to vote by secret ballot for 2 candidates.
Not surprisingly (in hindsight) what happened was that each bias judge voted for his particular "sponsor" and for the worst participant, who the judge thought had no chance. So the totally unexpected happened. A small-time hood with his terrible cow impressions won the event!!

Why is it that when you kill one person, you are evil. When you kill a hundred (like Al Capone) you are sort of a cult hero and when you kill tens of thousand (Napoleon, Qin Shi Huang, Alexander the Great) you are, well ... great. This feghoot is dedicated to peace lovers who can see though the propaganda.
