The Rippy Awards
By eh
If you've read this blog regularly, you've probably gathered that I have a pretty low opinion of awards shows. But Wired just announced the results of their brand new Rippy Awards, and it's actually pretty funny. It helps that no one (including Wired) is taking it at all seriously.
My favorite category, of course is:
Most Obscene Kanye West Online Rant
"I'm typing so f---ing hard I might break my f---ing Mac book Air!!!!!!!!"
"You know what, f--- you and the whole f---ing staff!!!"
"I F---ING HATE THIS COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
[WINNER]"Soulja boy ... is actually the true meaning of what hip hop is sposed to be"
(Censorship is mine, BTW. Kanye likes the F-bomb, but amNewYork does not.)

Also, the Rippy Award winner for Most Heartbreaking Death, Muxtape.com, was resurrected today. Now with less copyright violations! Bands sign themselves up, rather than music listeners wantonly uploading and sharing music that they may or may not have originally purchased.
