How-do, y'all! It's The Stundies!

Righto, the rules are working well, but there are a few clarifications to be made, as well as basic rule regarding video entries.

I present, the new and improved rules of Fight Club Teh 28th Annual Stundie Awards:

  1. Nominations should always be accompanied by a link or a screenshot, to confirm that the quote exists and has not been taken out of context. (It would be wise to always have a backup screenshot, as truth movement forums are well known for deleting entire threads.)
  2. For a nomination to be eligible, it must have a real and obvious link to conspiracy theories, but not exclusively 9/11 conspiracy theories.
  3. Stundie nominations should 'stand alone'. Do not over-embellish introductions, but do provide comments. Do not use any blatant ad hominem attacks.
  4. Please post the nomination under the real screenname of the nominee, and not under a slightly altered name (e.g. Killclown, Roxpup, Do-over).
  5. The best Stundie nominations are short and sweet. As a guideline, no more than 6 lines should be included from the post. If you are giving context, highlight the actual nomination.
  6. Entire videos are not eligible for nomination. Specific statements or claims from videos are eligible for nomination.
  7. No long rants. Cut them down to the funniest bit.
  8. No speeling mistikes. Everybody makes a mistake once in a while!


To help clarify the new rules (two and six)...

According to rule two, the following would be eligible:

Directly discussing a conspiracy theory.

Ironic, hypocritical, or other appropriate statements made by members or leaders of the truth movement.

Buy my new video and find out how Mark Roberts is profiting off the deaths of thousands of innocent people! That'll be twenty pieces of eight, thanks.


The following would not be eligible:

Skeptical issue not involving a conspiracy theory.

Of course Sylvia Browne's a real psychic! Otherwise she wouldn't be so rich, would she?


According to rule six, the following would not be eligible:

The twin towers had cheese cores, and they collapsed because of specially trained New World Order mice that ate them. My cat's breath smells like cat food.

If you have any questions regarding the eligibility of a nominations (or potential nomination), don't worry, just ask. After all, that's how the two new rules came about this month.

So what are you waiting for? Get to it! Nominate, yah!

Sorry, another from Malcolm as I'm still struggling to get caught up in that thread:

What's on fire, concrete and steel?

(regarding the collapse of the twin towers - he had posited that there must have been explosives to bring them down because some material was sent in an upward direction - someone else pointed out that in the still image he provided, what he was referring to was "smoke")
 
I'm not going to post in Malcolm's idiotic thread, but I've been watching with amused horror. I see he's found the ultimate in authoritative sources:

Will you take my word for that, or do I have to dig out the newspaper references?

Aren't we still in May, guys ?
Not according to our Democratically Elected Tyrant. Mobyseven is the State. You're not questioning the State, are you?
May ended over 7 hours ago. Stop living in the past, dude! :D

Both of those were correct answers. Chipmunk Stew, you get a promotion. Qarnos, you get a clock. :p

Seriously though - Australia time.

Hmmmm...what do people think?

I suggested in the other thread that the runner-up prize be named the "Malcolm Kirkland Medal", rather than possibly skewing the voting by allowing people who have won in the past win an award of a different name.

What if this gif is presented with the Malcolm Kirkland Medal for the runner up?
