Breaking News: Fox nominated for World Stupidity Award!


Fox has been nominated in the category of "Media Outlet Which has made the greatest contribution to furthering ignorance worldwide" in the upcoming World Stupidity Awards, July 23rd in Montreal.

You can vote here:

Also, interested to note both Kerry and Bush have been nominated in the Stupidest Man of the Year category. Apparently, Bush, who is also nominated in 3 other categories, is the man to beat.

The awards which take place at the Just for Laughs Festival, are actually fairly serious with a lot of starpower. Lewis Black is hosting.

7. O'Lielly got my vote...
I can't bear to watch the man. And Hannity, I'd liked to smack that smirk right off his face. x(

12. It was a tough choice between O'Lielly and Simple Life
Had to go with O'Lielly; because he doesn't seem to even realize his show is stupid, while Simple Life is intentionally stupid.

5. I'm going to have to go with ClearChannel
at least in this category. Fox is too obvious - Clearchannel does much more harm more subtly

8. I was really torn,
but chose Fox. Clear Channel may be more evil, but Fox is far more stupid.

15. It's a big toss-up between "trucker hats" and "war"
War is a terrible, horrible thing in which innocent people are butchered.

Trucker hats were popularized by Ashton Kutchner.

Why can't Ashton Kutchner be butchered?

17. It was hard
One's the catalyst, the other the reaction. Yep, it's a tough choice. I chose Bush/Blair only because their swords are bigger.

18. Hmm..I don't feel good about the first one..
I don't feel right voting for Bush or Rumsfeld as the world's stupidest person over SADDAMN FRIGGIN HUSSEIN or OSAMA FRIGGIN BIN LADEN! None of these people can possibly be he "stupidest" in the world (yes, even George)..
