Potential Nudity Always Wins

Conflict, sniping, blogger warfare, grudges, bribery.

This is how you know gay folk have been nominated for some sort of award. I'm certain the Academy Awards dredge up many of the same emotions, but there the stars conceal their hostility beneath cold and entirely insincere smiles. Not so with the pink faction. We'll whip out our Lee Press-Ons and claw faces like nobody's business.

In that spirit, both Mal and I discussed things and decided neither of us particularly wanted to be involved in the great Traffic Re-Direction of 2005 - also known as the Weblog Awards. He's in India. I've had my time eaten up by wrestling with lawn decorations in the snow.

So, it comes down to giving an endorsement, and Mal and I agree that Ethan from Brat Boy School is our choice. Let's face it, we don't want a pretensious moonbat who supports outing to win. That's no good. Ethan's a good egg, and for someone so young and "life is so unfair" attractive, he's a genuinely nice guy without a trace of pretension. That is nearly unheard of in the gay world. Plus, he's a bit of an underdog, and who doesn't love one of those?

So, please vote for Ethan in place of us. If that hideous Moon-woman wins, I swear a blood oath, no one will get Malco-vision for a year! Plus, if Ethan wins, he says:

I will place a video on this webpage, IF I WIN, that will be of me performing a Chippendale style Las Vegas Male Stripper show. You will be able to download it and embarass me for years to come. But I have to WIN to do this.

Reason enough, no?

It is very flattering that we were nominated, and we truly thank all those who have placed their votes for us. Although it is not why we blog, it is humbling to know people think well enough of us to do it.

Oh, and Boi so has a thing for Ethan. Really. Just look at that screen cap of his page on the right. So. Obvious. Not that we here at Malcontent particularly blame him.

I think your blog is unfairly placed in the LGBT category. You guys are so much more than that and are really one of the slickest video/culture/erudite sites out there. If they had an award for pithy writing, you would win hands down. Anyone know how to defeat the damn cookies in order to just hold the vote key down for an hour or so? (I am sure Kos has figured out a way to do it.)

[Mal-Fan]

Wow. I am really disappointed in you guys. You endorse the blog equivalent of a go-go boy!!?? Way to highlight more negative gay stereotypes. Thought you guys had more class.

[Essem]

You guys are great! You manage, in one fell swoop, --what is a fell swoop, actually?-- to be "so much more" than "LGBT" and also "highlight gay stereotypes". Magical, no?

I must protest the threat of no Malcovision if the Lefty Ho wins. Why should I be punished because of her? No fair!

[Malcontent]

Gus and Essem, very sweet of you guys!

Mal-Fan, thanks, but do the math -- Ethan and GP were the only ones with any shot, and Ethan had already won an "endorsement" of someone with a lot of votes (BFT). My thought was, how do we extricate ourlseves from this thing without further factionalizing what has already become a ridiculous, Balkanized affair.

I couldn't describe it any more eloquently than Robbie. I'll bet if we could put all the nominees in multiple boxes on the TV screen, Ocsar style, there would be many a pursed lip and golf clap when the winner was announced.

[Malcontent]

Wow, next time I should read my email before responding -- knowing how we can track IP addresses and all.

[AGJ]

No. I like this blog and will continue voting for it, damn the consequences. Besides, how I do otherwise when Robbie trolled for votes on JUB like a shameless huzzy? ;-)

[Malcontent]

Joe, if you vote for us, the terrorists win! :-)
