June 2007 Stundie Nominations

Houston, We Have a Problem!

How to nominate a cumulative body of work over a couple of days?

Maybe we can nominate my below paragraph explaining what appears to have happened, but first see this thread, here....

It merits reading in its entirety, because Dylan has totally (and I mean totally) destroyed his credibility. What a yutz!

Here's the synopsis:
Dylan evidently heard about (or heard) a radio discussion involving Kevin Smith, a real live grown up film director, wherein Smith and his announcer or cohost were discussing Loose Change. Dylan, not much for subtleties, posted the now-famous "ooh, I'm moist with excitement" post on LCF. (With compliments to Undesired Walrus, that young whippersnapper, for finding it.)
http://z10.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_Forum/index.php?showtopic=10382

The joke then goes beyond mere self-promotion, though, because Dylan then drops in on a fan site to thank Kevin for his lovely compliments, only to:
a) get totally trashed by the members of the board
b) find out that the radio discussion was not lauding him - IT WAS MAKING FUN OF HIS CRAPPY FILM.

Sorry, but you have to read the entire thread. Follow the links within links for the material not directly quoted, and listen to the radio blurbs.

Unfortunately - the problem is that there isn't a single quote to single out for the Stundie, it's like a the Stunbel (Stundie Nobel for a body of work) as opposed to the Stunditzer (Stundie Pulitzer for a single work). But the whole story is just so perfect that we have to find a way to include it.


Recap - not real quotes:
Dylan to Greasy Fanboys at LCF: Hey, I'm famous! I made it. I got mentioned by a bigtime director.
Mark Dice: Whoa, dude! Remember us little guys when you get to the top, and could we like come over and boff some of Hef's playmates at your pool?
DA to Smith Fans: Hey, it's me, Dylan the director that Smith likes so much!
Smith Fans: Get out of here you pathetic leper!
Smith Fans: Ewww, you suck, man!
Smith Fans: Spammer! We hate you.
DA to Smith Fans: But... but.... I just wanted to make a movie! Sniff!
Dylan to Greasy Fanboys at LCF: (deadly silence prevails)

As I mentioned on the cited thread, he thought he was going to pop in and raise their blood pressure that an upcoming star director was in their midst, and they trashed him like he hasn't been trashed in ages. Not real pleasant wading into an uncontrolled board, eh punk? (Read the thread linked to their site. They jumped on him so fast, it was hysterical. This is just a minor filmfan board, and THEY have his number. What kind of reception do you think he's going to get in Hollywood!
 
Hmm...tricky to include in The Stundies, because it would involve changing or at least bending the rules.

I'm going to mentally file this in the "That was the year that was" section of my brain, along with other memories such as the Realistice thread, that I plan to pull out of my bag of tricks at the end of the year.
 
Moby, I've found a good compromise position. I was looking for the actual quote, and it turns out it's the title of the thread that Dylan started..... so it's a DA quote....

"And Now I Can Die Happy"
As DA totally misunderstands that one of his favored directors thinks his film is crap and that he's an idiot. (You can explain in as many paragraphs as you need to, but that's the nomination.....)

Of all the fantastical claims made by Malcolm, his firm denial of the English language is probably the cutest.

That's almost as funny as when he denied that the phrase "transitive verb" referred to a real thing. It's hilarious how he chides people about their poor grammar while simultaneously displaying horrendous grammar and spelling himself.

Hi-freaking-larious.

Remember, he's making lodsa dosh and could buy all our houses. ;)

No worse than when one of pdoh's puppets insisted he was a corn fed american from the heartland, all the while using british spelling and grammar.

Actually, it's amazing how many people accuse other people of being wrong or bad at something they're far worst at, themselves. Especially in the woo camp.

"Scientists say administration distorts facts

The Bush administration has editorial control of all scientific publications.
They systematically distort scientific facts.

It gets better when you read the article.

If audio was eligible for a Stundie, I would nominate:
the following exchange from the Mike Chambers show last night. (MP3) ~3min

I guess the caller didn't have an understanding of a delay.

(Normally I don't listen but I apparently still had my recorder running)

Audio IS eligible, IF you nominate a specific statement from the show. Similar to the rules on video. And now I have another addition to make to the rules next month (just to include the words "and audio" mind you).

No problem, that I can consider.

I'm still filing it under 'That was the year that was' though! :)

The great historian Webster G. Tarpley, wrote about ‘Angel is next’ story, nearly two years ago in his book '9/11 Synthetic Terror'.

Now, CBS's 60 Minutes is just catching up...

Research people, research!
 
I'll have a listen to that when I get to another computer. Unfortunately I can't consider it unless there is a specific statement made that you want to nominate. The link is appreciated regardless, though. :)

It's basically a guy calling into one of the truther radio shows, and for 2:55 out of the 3 minutes it's them and the listener trying to communicate, but the listener won't turn down his speakers and it's on a delay. So they ask: what's your name? and he says "from california" it's just funny :P
