Well, good morning CSFMB! It’s time to vote for some Douchebags! This thread is dedicated to the Douchebags of the last 13 weeks. That’s right, it’s the 4th Quarter Semifinals for the Former Governor Rod R. Blagojevich Douchebag Of Year award! There’s a whole lot of board angst in the first few weeks of the 4th quarter. It’s… scary. Check out the nominees, vote for 3, and the top 4 go to the final later this week.
Week 40 Winner, People that get legitimately upset over a message board: rogers park bryan asks that you get perspective. You do not need perspective if people on a message board getting upset makes you upset though. That’s normal. Let’s never forget that the internets is serious business. Serious. Business. Fuckers.
Week 41 Winner, People who Constantly Complain About “The Board”: The Original Kid Cairo fights complaints by… complaining. Yes, the old fight fire with fire routine. He says that if you don’t like the board, change it by posting better. Which is pretty much 100% the opposite of what he did. We here at the DBOTW home office agree that the board has gotten a little ridiculous lately, what with the deletions, the bans, the protests and sit-outs. And complaining is what Americans do best. Are we not free to express displeasure or is it incumbent upon us to change this place for the better according to Cairo’s standards? Your call, Chicago!
Week 42 Winner, The board: Let me start by saying I love me some Woodridge Ryan. But goddamn if this nomination doesn’t come up way too much lately. That’s right. He nominated you. He nominated me. Everyone who reads this unless you name is Coast and Reason, the boards’ only centurions, because he says you are the problem. Why are we nominated, you ask? Your cliques (which don’t really exist), the silent protest (which didn’t exist), the rule prohibiting nomination of board members (which doesn’t exist), and something about a Roger Goddell attitude (which no one knows what he’s talking about). So. If the board is whatever he’s talking about, vote!
Week 43 Winner, Women in SUV’s: Whenever 24_Guy is being tailgated he says it’s a broad in a SUV. And since I love racist topics I thought I would include this one in today’s poll. Racism. It’s everywhere. But why do these does need to drive so aggressively? Is it because they’re tired of the racism that males inflict on them? Is it because they are racist toward males? Hard to say, but if you think that women in SUV’s deserve to be douchebagged for their general driving, please vote here.
Week 44 Winner, Timothy Cranick: Nominated by a guy who knows a little something about being a douchebag, Mr. Cranick was nominated for knocking out the fire chief from Tennessee that we talked about earlier. NSJ posts that after the fire destroyed the Cranick home, Tim went over to the firehouse, asked for the Chief and knocked him the fuck out. Did the Chief have it coming? Was Timothy out of line? Is NSJ a tool? Vote here!
Week 45 Winner, Notre Dame: 60 MPH wind gusts and boom lifts don’t mix. Anyone that’s ever painted a house knows damn well that those cherry pickers are fucking terrifying even in good weather. And Norte Dame puts a student into a lift to videotape a practice. Was it really that necessary to record practice that they had to put a student’s life in danger? Apparently so, as they did and now a 20 year old man is dead, which leads to a nomination from conns7901. So that they could videotape a practice. No jokes here. You know what to do.
Week 46 Winner, Christine O’Donnell: She’s you. No, wait she’s a douchebag according to Kid Cairo Mult Time travelling Bunny. Witchypoo was nominated for not understanding that the first amendment specified a “separation of church and state”. Although that specific phrase doesn’t appear in the amendment, most reasonable folks, including the Supreme Court, know goddamn good and well what it means. Is O’Donnell in over her pointed hat, or will she sweep away the competition? Your call Chicago!
Week 47 Winner, Darkside: Oh boy. I knew when I saw this that I’d have to include it in the week end finals. I’d hate to be accused of being biased or anything, because stuff like that ends up in PM’s and complaints from certain, um, folks (MTV! Thanks for teaching me how to talk to douchebags!). Anyhow, spmack nominated Darko for retiring from the Douchebag of the Week polls. Maybe he’s right, I still like doing it. Anyhow, if Darkside deserves a shot at the semifinals go ahead and do your worst, Chicago!
Week 48 Winner, Matt Spiegel: Meatpants took a bit of a pounding recently over his unusual absences and his seemingly larger dedication to his band than his radio show. Notice I say seemingly. Matt has defended his position from behind his girlfriend, who holds him back from kicking our asses. That’s fine, once the board knew what caused his most recent absence, they backed off and gave him their condolences over his situation. But, as pointed out by rogers park bryan, Meat took it very personally, lashing out on the radio and “stick it to the CSFMB guys” right off the bat on the show the other day. This show has been accused of thin skinnery over the year or so they’ve been on the air, but this might be the first time that Spiegs was accused himself. Is Meatpants being a douche? Your call.
Week 49 Winner, The ricketts clan: Deacon Blues fires away at all the Ricketts for trying to use public funds to fix a stadium that they own since they knew all along that the stadium had problems and would need significant improvements to bring it up to 20th century standards, let alone modern standards. The games they’re playing with the Illinois Legislature is also pretty silly, as conflicting reports come from these guys and Michael Madigan, who actually runs the show around these here parts.
Week 50 Winner, Billy Corgan: Douchebag nominated Billy for his assault on Pavement with a few TwitterBombs that just dripped with self absorption and megalomania. But isn’t that what makes for a decent rock star? I mean, if you don’t like that kind of thing you’re stuck with Elvis Costello and nights at Rivinia with Irish Boy and a box of red wine. Funny thing about this thread… everyone couldn’t wait for Doug’s response, who came in the next day and told us that he really didn’t care. That’s so Doug.
Week 51 Winner, JOE STARCHER: Capital Letters? Naming someone that you’ve never heard of? You don’t need to look at the avatar to know that it was bigfan’s nomination! Yeah, it’s for Starcher, some software geek who rooked Big out of $500 bucks. Seems Biggie was looking to overhaul the site, you know, active avatars and enable the search function, but Starchy Joe took off with all his dough. Was Bigfan right to name names and post pictures, or is Starcher simply misunderstood?
Week 52 Winner, Westboro Baptist Church: I think this group has been nominated before but it’s been nominated again by Ugueth Will Shiv You for their planned protest of Elizabeth Edwards. Why are they protesting? Because god apparently hates gays. And that means that Edwards was killed by God for revenge because a couple dudes got it on. So if you think that protesting gays by making an ass of yourself at the funeral of someone who had nothing to do with gays is douchebagworthy, then vote here!
And there's the semi-finalists for the 4th quarter. YES! Joy! Now please vote, don't forget to choose 3, and by Friday we will be voting in the Finals, where the top 4 douchebags from this semifinal join the 12 other semifinalists from the previous quarters! By popular demand... revoting is enabled in the semis.
See ya!
