Douchebag. It a word we throw around with some impunity. But we must remember that douchbag behavior is often a symptom of MDBD (Major Douchebag Behavorial Disorder). Some of these poor souls have screen names right here at the Chicago Sports Fan Message Board. Remember, we are in a battle against MDBD and we need your help. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can contain MDBD and make strides against it's proliferation in the future.
For every vote in the Douchebag of the Week Poll, Darkside will donate $0.01 to the fight against MDBD. We encourage you to make donations as well. Show the people that yes, there can be an end to MDBD today!
So here are this weeks nominees:
George W. Bush: Nominated by a poster with similar approval ratings, POTUS takes a shot across the bow from Elmhurst Steve. While we have Bush to thank for the election of several highly placed Democrats, he could also had a habit of making mistakes while speaking and generally looking silly. He can't be that bad, can he? Two wars, a recession/depression, most successful terrorist attacks against us, multi trillion dollar deficits, and a housing and credit meltdown all happened on his watch, but hey, it could happen to anyone right? Does this make Bush a douchebag?
Brian Urlacher: Magic 1 brings the smack back, Jack, with the nomination of our favorite monotone middle linebacker. He didn't like the fans booing them. No one likes to be booed. Maybe they were saying Boooabitch. Or maybe booofoxsports.com/JayGlaser. Not sure. Don't know. Does this make him a douchebag? Or just a whiny baby?
Young Man on ABC Election Coverage: Ugueth Will Shiv You made a fairly solid nomination with this one. Whilst celebrating Obama's historic win on Tuesday, he told a reporter that now he will go to college and start a business. Pressed whether he would have done that anyway, the young man said... no. And this makes him a douchebag to several people. Beardown says the guys in college he knew that started a business are pot dealers (can you PM a brother with a decent dealer's number?), Doug points out that this young man was Obamatized. What do you think?
Lovie Smith: Oh boy oh boy oh boy Mac left the MJH section and made a post! About a Douchebag! Who's a high profile Chicago FIGUREHEAD! Bear #2 to be nominated this week regardless of their better than we thought season. Mac is looking for a more firey leader, on with more yelling and foaming at the mouth. More intensity. Maybe drop your pants or something? Nas and SteveSarley presented dissenting opinions that were worth reading (but apparantly not responding to
), and Nas even got a nice shot at Coast2Coast in this thread. So, you gonna vote for Lovie?Circuit City (calls it quits): Count Floyd has been posting at a frenzied rate lately, this one directed at Circuit City, I think for going out of business or killing his son's job. I don't miss Circuit City. I used to work at Best Buy. The one I worked at in Schaumburg was about a block away from Circuit City. I went in there once in my Best Buy shirt cause I wanted "Pulse" and it was sold out at BB so I strolled over to CC after work one day. They were following me around and keeping like 10 steps behind me. Everytime I turned around they would pretend like they were stocking shelves or something. It was really creepy. Leaving the place I half expected some "rover" to come grab me or something. So are they douchebags?
Me?: Ugueth Will Shiv You thinks he is defective as an American because he does not feel as though Tuesday were "The Best Day Of His Life". Of course, had he ever had to lay his life on the line in battle to preserve that right, he might feel differently, but he's young, we'll let that pass. TOKC points out that this is simple hyperbole, people on camera giving the camera what it wants. So were these overexcited mopes onto something, or are they just douchebags? Or was it Ugueth?
Republicans: Always a popular choice, sir. They apparently sent out official looking documents to Democrats stating that they vote on the 5th instead of the 4th like the rest of us, and that got Nas's blood a-boilin. This is douchy behavior but what's douchier, doing it or actually expecting those people to believe it? Let's pretend that this doesn't happen on both sides of the aisle and live in lollipop-gumdrop land for a moment. In this mindframe, can we look at this behavior and call it douchy? This thread also featured spmack pulling Message Board Rank on another poster. It was epic. Vote today!
CSFMB, these are your nominees this week. Vote well. Vote often. Vote next week if you're a democrat, and watch your back if you vote and you're a Hispanic. I will post later this afternoon which candidates Castro supports. If you park to vote you'll get your car towed, but only if you vote for this one. So get up people! Rock the VOTE!
) accomplished, I was proud that black people were coming together to take part in a process that affects their lives. Something else I hadn't seen to this extent in my lifetime...
Why is that the only basketball emoticon?
