UPDATE: THE POLLS ARE CLOSED. Polldaddy pulled a little switcheroo on me, so I’ve got to pull a little switcheroo on you. I thought it was free, but it turns out that once you get more than 200 responses to a survey in any given month, you have to pay them $200 for a year’s memebership in order to see the rest of the results. Yikes! So I’m just closing the polls instead, and will announce the winners tomorrow. If it’s any consolation, all the winners won by large margins, so I doubt there would have been any upsets if I kept the polls open longer.
And the polls are open! Vote for Man Boobz Troll of the Year, and any of the other special awards you wish to vote for.
The polls will remain open until January 1, when I will write up the results and declare the official winners!
Feel free to campaign for your favorites in the comments below.
I missed so much while I was at the movies today.
What movie did you see? Was it good?
LMAO at the Woody Allen thing! I have absolutely no idea where that could have come from, but now I really want to know.
Steele’s Brainfax!
The Hobbit, finally. I liked it! It’s 2:45 hours long, but I only looked at my watch once, ha. Mr. Dammit is a huge LOTR fan, so it could have been 6 hours long and he would have not moved the whole time. I thought the 48 FPS made the movie even better. I know some people don’t agree, but there are always scenes in other movies that are distractingly blurry to me that were clear here. Martin Freeman was a perfect Bilbo.
I must say I like the look of Martin Freeman as Bilbo, though I won’t be seeing the film. Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Wow, it’s so pathetic to watch them begging for votes.
Varpole: The problem with your use of misandry isn’t that it has only one definition, it’s that to you it is all things to all purposes.
@Melissa: I’m copying one of the final two comments I left for you in the other thread.
It still seems more than appropriate (the other comment was just lining up quotes from your posts that showed how, grammatically, your sentence structure made women into the agents causing their own rape/abuse).
Given what you said above, I won’t repeat that one.
@Melitroll: I bet you’d agree with the kind of advice often women on how to avoid being raped, right? It’s just the kind of thing you’re saying here–women should make good decisions, and should not put themselves in situations where rape is inevitable, and should take the well meaning advice of caring people on how to avoid rape, right?
If that’s so, and I bet it is, then I want you to read the feminist deconstruction of those helpful, caring, not at all blaming the victim on my heavens no (despite the subtext of “you get raped, you’re to blame, slut”) advice lists and think about how this might apply to abusers:
To avoid you having to click a link which would take so much of your valuable time, I’ve reproduced them and given the link at the end:
Ten rape prevention tips:
1. Don’t put drugs in women’s drinks.
2. When you see a woman walking by herself, leave her alone.
3. If you pull over to help a woman whose car has broken down, remember not to rape her.
4. If you are in an elevator and a woman gets in, don’t rape her.
5. When you encounter a woman who is asleep, the safest course of action is to not rape her.
6. Never creep into a woman’s home through an unlocked door or window, or spring out at her from between parked cars, or rape her.
7. Remember, people go to the laundry room to do their laundry. Do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room.
8. Use the Buddy System! If it is inconvenient for you to stop yourself from raping women, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times.
9. Carry a rape whistle. If you find that you are about to rape someone, blow the whistle until someone comes to stop you.
10. Don’t forget: Honesty is the best policy. When asking a woman out on a date, don’t pretend that you are interested in her as a person; tell her straight up that you expect to be raping her later. If you don’t communicate your intentions, the woman may take it as a sign that you do not plan to rape her.

oops, darn it, put in wrong thread–SORRY!
On hoppitier note, I’ve seen it seven times and love it to distraction–YAY HOBBIT~!
BTW I totally would have voted for Meller if he commented more. He’s the most entertaining troll by a mile, because who can forget Mellertopia?
Ilithiana, seven times? That’s impressive!
I noticed in David’s update that “all the winners won by large margins.” How long do you think it will take after the results are reported for the trolls to use that to accuse us of “groupthink” or being a “hivemind”?
@clairedammit – a New York nanosecond, probably!
Ithiliana — I sent that list to a friend the other day, he replied with “if you feel the urge o rape, castrate yourself”.
I’m sure that’s vile, vile, misandry from vile misandrist feminists.
🙁 Aw, I missed the voting! HOW WILL TOM MARTIN WIN WITHOUT MY SUPPORT?
I am concerned for his trolling future, y’all.
Fear not, LBT! His future is assured after meeting Pierre.
So anyway, I made a trophy for Troll of The Year, what do you think?
*slow clap*
I <3 Myoo's trophy.
Ithiliana: That list of rape “prevention” tips is going to have the opposite effect of what it was intended to do.That is, aspiring rapists will use these tips as what not to do when orchestrating a rape. A lot or rapists do use the buddy system: THEY BUDDY UP WITH OTHER RAPISTS FOR A “GANG BANG” AND THEN LIE TO PROTECT EACH OTHER AND SABOTAGE THE VICTIMS CREDIBILITY IN COURT!
Effective rape prevention means empowering women with knowledge(and weapons too) to recognize when they’re in a dangerous situation and what the danger signs are. Even if it “feels” safe to them at the time.
Der Fremde: Predators will always do shit like that… and any sort of list is irrelevant to a conspiracy to rape. But for the rest of the world that list is useful.
