The Race Begins

Hi, everybody.

Today marks the beginning of the race towards the much (un)coveted, politically (un)prestigious, in all senses offensive, THE GOLDEN GAG AWARDS!

The Golden Gag Awards will be awarded for particularly noteworthy achievement in the following areas:

I Zero Tolerance

* A school or legal policy designed to "protect" the society, but in reality, excessive to the point of the Absurd. Winds up doing more harm than good, to the loud snickering of the "victimized" society.

II Academic Bias

* An exhibition of rudeness or bigotry with respect to the origin, beliefs, political ideology, or viewpoints of a student or a faculty member on campus.

III Polical Correctness

* A policy designed to promote equality and diversity - but resulting in the exact opposite.

Who is eligible? Just about anybody.

HOWEVER...

If your source of information is a Current Events Story (i.e., in the news), you need to provide a link to that source of information. Otherwise, you need to come up with credible evidence to support your nominee. You can send your suggestions to my e-mail, sicat222@gmail.com. The deadline for the nominations eligible for the 2005 Awards will be February 10th, 2006.

I will post all submissions on this blog.

I will announce the nominee finalists on February 11th, 2006.

The winners will be announced on March 11th, 2006.

I look forward to hearing from you!

The Judge,
Irina
