OFFICIAL STUPID_FREE AWARDS 2007
Hoo-boy! The time is nigh!! Spread the word! Alert the papers!!
It's time to begin the nominations for this year's STUPID AWARDS!
THE RULES:
You can check this list to see all the categories we'll be using and how we're defining each one.
We'll be posting categories one at a time and taking nominations. To nominate your favorite stupid in any category, please check to see if the nomination has already been made. If not, make a comment with the user(s) you are nominating in the subject line, and then include relevant links to their stupidity in the body of your comment. You can also campaign by telling everyone why you feel this is the best example of stupid for that category.
If someone has already nominated your pick, please REPLY to their comment with some sort of nod of agreement. You can include your opinions to campaign for your fave. You can back multiple nominees, but keep in mind that in the voting stage you will have to pick your ultimate!
Please DO NOT reply arguing why a nomination is NOT the best. We're just going to count comments, so please only reply because you want that nominee, and just reply once for each nominee. Replying with any disagreement or dispute over which category the nominee should appear in will just count as a vote for that nominee.
Does that make sense? There will be a post about a category, a bunch of nominations with links, and a bunch of replies backing the nominations. We'll take the 4 or 5 with the most nominations in each category and then post official polls for you all to vote in. This will rotate all through November (and possibly into December) - which just happens to be STUPID_FREE BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!
Okay, on to the nominations. Let's start out with those wacky parents! Boob nazis, circumcision wank, co-sleeping, ear piercing akin to rape, and any other stupid involving parents and their offspring. Vote here for this year's
STUPIDEST PARENT
ETA: 10 comments and I'm already nuts from this. Nominations and why you're nominating! With links! Check to see if your nominee has already been made, and if so, reply under that nomination.
ETA2: PLEASE don't just say a user name and assume everyone knows what you're talking about. Nominate someone with a link to ONE specific stupid_free entry. Last year, tigerwolf dominated categories with multiple examples of stupidity. Just saying jessy1019 is actually robbing her of the possibility of ruling the entire category. Link to the specific post you're nominating and tell us who and why. Thank you.
ETA3: Nominate/back as many nominations as you want! This is not the voting, this is the nominating. A reply to a nomination (no matter what it says) counts as a vote FOR that nominee, so only reply once.
