Wanker of the Week.

[Louis P. Burns aka Lugh]

It is hoped that as this thread develops we can all have a good old giggle nominating the Wanker of the Week.

Wanker of the Week

• must be someone in the news, media, politics, religious, scientific or sports world that we feel deserve this prestigious award for complete stupidity, priceless quotes or fuck ups.
  
  Whichever person gets the most nominations by Sunday Midnight (GMT) every week is the winner.

Obvious candidates would be George W. Bush or Tony Blair, but any others you can think to nominate would be sweet.

A hot contender in my opinion would George Michael. Check this out;

Singer George Michael yesterday admitted possessing class C drugs and said that his arrest at the weekend was his "own stupid fault, as usual".

"I have been through enough in 24 years of dealing with the media to know what I am in for from them this week. Much of it will be inaccurate or simply untrue. I can handle that, it is my own stupid fault, as usual."

"I won't make a record out of this one ­ even though it is tempting."

This is clearly repetition George love. You've said;

"own stupid fault, as usual"

twice..!

You're very obviously composing lyrics for the chorus dear.

I'd love to know what the fuck he was smoking. He was apparently found;

seen slumped over the steering wheel of a car on the street close to Hyde Park Corner.

Sal You absolute rascal ..!

How the fuck are ya mate?

Alan, this is Salvador, a friend of mine who also worked on collaborative new media writing projects with me, over on a writer's community I was a member of. I hate this writer's community by the way, but that's for a different thread entirely. All I will say for now is that; they are a parcel of bastards.

Sal can at times be very outspoken and frequently I don't agree with him, but he's a good man and true. Fluent in several languages too

Sal, this is Alan aka the_leander, an artist and writer I have a lot of respect for and who I got to know through a comedy debating forum.

Right. Down to the business at hand.

Sal, why have you voted for HRM Prince Charles? Has he been in the media lately for some blunder or another, or has he offended you personally? Details, detail, details... Give us the low-down maan..! What's the word around the campfire? ..!

I'd vote for Trading standards for this personally, unfortunately it was a while ago...

I'm reluctant to click on the Hacking For Christ link on that page. But Gervase does indeed deserve a Wanker of the Week Award. You say the link is a bit dated. So what..? It's your choice for nomination mate and there's nowt wrong wae bumpin' it up on here... Go for it Alan

[the_leander]

I think I've found the winner, by a hell of a long chalk....

This time its an article from the Independant...

Israeli 'ruler-in-waiting' plans to starve Hamas

Israel's policy - described by a spokesman as putting "the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger"

Well isn't that fucking nice of them...

10/1 that if Israel could ban the media from getting in there, the Palestinians would already have died long ago...

Nutters the lot of them, imho the Israelis have become every bit as bad as the Nazi's whome their grandparents ran from during the 40's.

I'll be honest. I'm not clear on who you've nominated for the Wanker of the Week award.

What I will say is that you've inspired me here mate. As a result of reading the article you provided the link to, and my own anger, shock and utter outrage at the contents of that link, I've created a section in Activsim on SENSITIZE © called;

• FUCK THAT FOR A GAME OF SOLDIERS..!
  Click the red font to get there

It's fairly self-explanatory and I think you'll find it useful...

If you can further break down your opinion in your last post, until one agency or person is named, then I'll gladly add that agency or person's name to the poll up above.

You've expanded SENSITIZE © with this message Alan. I'm very grateful to you. Thanks mate

[the_leander]

Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni & The Likud Party for comming up with this shit.

But I would also go further and say anyone of Israeli nationality who voted for these fuckers.

[Louis P. Burns aka Lugh]

This is very strange. My ability to edit this thread seems to have been frozen and I can't update the poll. I know I can do this because I did it lastnight for Jo on the pickled pepper thread.

What's going on..?

Anyone?

[the_leander]

Perhaps the amount of time you have to make changes has expired?

That sounds about right. Cheers Alan.

I wanted to pick your brains further about something else if possible?

Recently on a few art's and film's sites I 've seen a message for CAUCE, and on your site in the projects section there is a button hyperlink for visitors to say; "Some Rights Reserved". It's clearly to the benefit of artists and writers that their work is protected and I was wondering how and who I should contact? Am I right in saying it would further protect the work of my colleagues and me?

Also, these forums. Is there a way of brightening them up with similar link buttons?

I realise I'm leaning into you a bit much with questions, questions, questions, and may be putting you off just posting your own messages but, I'm keen to be clued-up and know everything I can.

Hopefully Diesel will be here soon and we can explore putting a button of your choice on our webpages that lists you and links to your website. Your knowledge in many things is a great asset and I consider it 'sponsorship in kind'. All of this is still very new to me and I need a bit of sound advice.

In the meantime, if you email me a few options based around your nomination for the Wanker of the Week Award, I'll create a whole new and vitriol-loaded poll aimed directly at the Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni & The Likud Party and all the Israeli nationality wankers who voted for her (Tzipi Livni) party. Fuckin' parcel of bastards..!

Oh, one more thing Alan. Give the poll a name as well mate. Summit more deserving than Wanker of the Week..! Use your creativity to really have a go

G'wan, g'wan, g'wan..!

God will judge me, PM tells Parkinson

Michael White, political editor

The Guardian

Tony Blair is reconciled to the prospect that God and history will eventually judge his decision to go to war with Iraq, and says his decision, like much of his policymaking, was underpinned by his Christian faith.

Mr Blair made the remarks in an appearance on Parkinson to be broadcast tonight, in which he spoke of the struggle with his conscience to do the right thing because people's lives are at stake.

Asked about Iraq, the prime minister said: "Well, I think if you have faith about these things, then you realise that judgment is made by other people."

Questioned further, he added: "If you believe in God, [the judgment] is made by God as well."

Michael Parkinson asked: "So will you pray to God when you make a decision like that?" Mr Blair said merely: "Well, I don't want to get into something like that."

Unlike George Bush, who said God told him to launch the Iraq campaign, Mr Blair has taken care to keep his faith away from political discourse. He once bridled visibly when asked by Jeremy Paxman if he and Mr Bush prayed together. But he confirmed the thesis put forward by more than one biographer that it was his rediscovery of religion while at Oxford University which led him into politics.

Ahh, bless him. That's OK Mr Blair, God will forgive ya for all the lives lost in 'the war on terror' or is it 'terror of war'. Smarmy bastard.

I think the judgement is already here mate, you don't have to wait til you die.

[Louis P. Burns aka Lugh]
