And I thought nothing could top a photo of Jeremy Stoppelman, founder of online yellow pages site Yelp, sucking rakishly on a lollipop. But you chose different. Our award for the most embarrassing magazine photo of 2006 goes instead to... Michael Arrington of Techcrunch. With 51% of your votes, the influential tech news publisher, pictured lighting a cigar with a wad of $100 bills, beat out both Stoppelman and Kevin Rose's legendary geek-rich thumbs-up for the front cover of BusinessWeek. Arrington's pose for Business 2.0 is, officially, the most embarrassing magazine shoot of 2006. The results, after the jump.
