Chi Tri Punk'd Sun-Times in Sam Zell Contest

When the Chicago Sun-Times challenged readers to write a song about Sam Zell's plan to re-sell naming rights to the Chicago Cubs' Wrigley Field, little did they think the winner of "Zell No: Don't Rename Wrigley Field" would be an intern at the competition.

But then they chose University of Illinois student Katie Hamilton, the free help at the Chicago Tribune, who didn't just pen the lyrics — she made a music video.

The good sports that they are, the Sun-Times has its own report about getting punk'd by Team Zell.

But as the other entries prove, it's not like they had another option.
