Rules again:

- Nominations are open throughout the week, but close on the last day of that week. Polling then takes place for three days, starting on the first new day of the next week. For the purposes of the POTW competiton, Sunday will be considered the last day of the week, and Monday will be considered the first.
- You cannot nominate a post by yourself.
- You may only nominate a post that was posted during the week in question. For example, you cannot nominate a post that was posted on the 2nd to go through to the vote for the week of the 20th. Posts not from the week in question will be discounted. Obviously, this means that when the nomination thread is first posted, on Monday, there may not be anything to nominate; this will of course change as the week progresses.
- Only one nomination per poster. Second, third, fourth nominations, etc, will be discounted.
- This is only applicable to GD posts.
- Nominations which are subsequently deleted are invalid. Sowwy.
- Nominations must have links to said post and a direct quote. If you are nominating a 'witty' post or retort, then it is encouraged that you also quote the post that the witticsm was in response to for purposes of clarity.

For example:

I nominate this post by Marilyn Manson:

- Admins and Mods can nominate posts, and they will be subject to the above rules.
- Purposely crappy nominations such as quoting quotes of quotes or quoting quote URL's and the like will not go through. You can't fool teh system.
- There will be no official 'interference' in the process. Whichever post people like the best, wins.

I ****ing hate those polls.

Marilyn Manson · 22 Jun 2005, 21:20

I hate the Russians!

Tomkat · 22 Jun 2005, 21:22

Polls would never have been forgotten in Communist Russia.

NEWSBOT3 · 22 Jun 2005, 21:22

Nusselt · 23 Jun 2005, 09:29

WHAT THE ****? No, seriously. If a guy has an erection problem, then thats ****ing shit, poor bastard. Obviously the womans interest is either a/ Shes not being Sexually satisfied b/ Shes not being provided with Seed to give birth to a child.

However

The sheer Arrogance and collective idiocy by addressing this sort of advert at women rather than men infuriates me. I cant even see the ****ing point - what, men are meant to be too stupid or stubborn to call a number? If thats the case, why is a nagging bitch going to make you change your mind about getting your pecker seen to? If anything youd let it stay limp just to spite her for making you feel "yey high" by bringing up the fact your manhood doesnt work.

I mean, imagine if this advert came on tv.

"Sup guys. Does your girlfriend suffer from Bad PMS? Tired of putting up with her emotional crap? Good news! Give her this lotion and her PMS symptoms will gradually decrease over time, and she'll still be randy enough 29/31 days a month to help you get your leg over!"

Outrage. Understandably so of course, but when you stack it from a "male dominance" position, it suddenly becomes controversial and unsufferable.

I absolutely despise the differences in perceptions between the sexes - another Example - Channel 4 ( i think ? ) is doing a show "Psycho wife" or something. Its about some Woman who married 3 men, killed 2, and tried to kill the other one. She was cold blooded, and dated, married etc solely to gain their trust, then shed go psycho from nowhere and try and kill them. What music does Channel 4 play to this? Space - Female Of The Species (Great work sound director, you picked a song that had "female" and "deadly" in it. I mean, we'll forget the tone or tempo of the song, or anything but the one line that you want to hear but hey why the **** not you get paid anyway). Again, imagine if this was a guy who lured women in and then killed them / assaulted them out the blue. I dont think theyd play "I hope you die" by the Bloodhound Gang or something happy and tongue in cheek.

Two words,

Britain ****ing sucks.

Let us read what Deffeh has written. Let us re-read it. Now let us think about what he has written. Well I didn't need to think about it. He is right. Focussing viagra/similar adverts on women is ****ing retarded.

RETARDED.

Equally aiming adverts for sanitary towels at men would be idiotic.

'Hey guys does your woman bleed from the vagina once a month? Do you often find it leaking onto the bed sheets. Fear not because now with new Vagina Bandages Ultra Super with Wings shaped to fit, cotton feel and almost invisible™ you will never have to have blood smeared all over your bed again!!!!!!!!!

I don't think so.

So thus far I have gathered that Deffeh does not piss me off.

Hmm.

What does piss me off?

Something that does tend to annoy me is people, or let us be more specific, women who call themselves feminists. Feminists. What does this actually mean? The womens movement if we must refer to it as that has achieved a great many things. Votes for women is one major example. But now what seems to have happened is that women instead of realising that equality (in opportunity) is the goal, wish to claim that women are 'better' than men. It's ****ing retarded, and frankly if people would stop thinking about each other as subsets of the population this wouldn't happen. Women. Men. Muslims. Blacks. Gays. THEY ARE ALL ****ING PEOPLE. (Well some of them may still be virgins that's not for me to know).

I view people as individuals. I do not expect that every female will be able to carry out every role, every job. People need to learn their own capabilities. What I do believe is that every person should realise their own capabilities and move themselves forward appropriately.

The upshot of all this is that instead of women being portrayed as housewives, as cleaners, as mothers, women are portrayed as strong individuals

The downshot is that in turn the portrayal of men has changed. Instead of being shown as the breadwinners, the leaders, the important ones, men have jokes made about them, and are shown as having weaknesses. I don't view this as positive. I don't view it as negative. If people can make 'your mom' jokes or take the piss out of their wife/whoever then why shouldn't there be 'your dad' jokes? It doesn't mean anything.

IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING

As soon as spasticated ****wits start realising that what the media says doesn't necessarily go then the sooner I can stop having to make posts like this.

The media tells me that I should be a skinny blonde, preferably with big tits, wear makeup and a miniskirt. Well part of the media tells me that anyway. I ignore it.

JJ I am trying desperately desperately hard not to go down the route of personal insults here but you do, in fact, come across, yet again, as a complete and utter moron in your post.

It's TV. Who cares how they stereotype you?? It's not real!

Yes the politically correct stuff is bullshit. But why let it bother you? Really? If you know it's bullshit then rise above it.

As for your latter 'points' I am not going to answer it's pointless. In war there is no taking the slack. There is no slack, and I shouldn't have to tell you that.

heh heh heh

but it is inevitable that this perception will act to motivate anti-US attacks.

it's sort of 2 + 2 = 4
where 2 (which is the perception) + 2 (which is the 'motivation') = 4 (buildings falling down): except most americans chosing to ignore their own part in the equasion and screaming like spoilt children because their decision to 'ignore their own wrong doings' conveniently makes it seem that 2 = 4.

Marilyn Manson · 25 Jun 2005, 22:35

Serious posts never win. Sad, but true. Blame it on the punters.

furball · 25 Jun 2005, 22:54

Couldn't decide whether to nominate Yahwe's post, or Sword's. Justice won, even if the funny didn't

If this was some cunning Iranian vote-swinging tactic, Yahwe just got my ballot.

Not now, of course, but whenever there's a poll.

Marilyn Manson · 26 Jun 2005, 02:47

Then I'll find some way of disqualifying Yahwe's entry on some arcane part of the rules, or alternatively, or a rule which I just made up entirely.

I've got you in my sights, and I'm not giving up until I've ****ed you over.

You're so competitive at things that aren't supposed to be competitions.

The reputation thing - you swap reputation with people. It completely defeats the point of it, just swapping for the hell of it. You're supposed to give people feedback on good/bad posts, not just try to rack up your "score".

The keystroke thing. I can't remember what you did, but as Dante mentioned, you treated that as some sort of silly competition.

Now this. It's not a competition of "who has the most songs". I have plenty of songs. Recently, I've just been listening to Cream (Clapton etc). So my AudioScrobbler contains most of that, as I go through phases of listening to different artists. I'm not going to try to prove something to people by showing my entire playlist.

Get the point please

Marilyn Manson · 26 Jun 2005, 22:33

That's it, Lestat. Put some life back into the 'We hate Flavius' bandwagon.
