View Full Version : Teh 28th Annual Stundie Finals for November: Appropriately Late


Mobyseven
6th December 2007, 07:20 PM
Welcome to Teh 28th Annual Stundie Awards for November! This month proudly sponsered by Annual-Gift-Day Man and His Dancing Midget Factory On The Moon!

Apologies for the lateness of this thread - it's been a busy: From the production of Cats I was in winning nine awards at the Victorian Theatre Guild Awards (The Bruces), to all the concerts and other things I've got to rehearse for and sing at to celebrate the conception of Santa, I haven't had a great deal of time to myself. And this is after the uni year has ended!

I've decided to keep the format from last month, because dang it I liked it! I will, however, add a bit of an introduction to each nomination.

And so - drum roll please - the finalists are:

#1 - Apparently Buzz isn't as alive as he seems to be...

yes terry manning there is proof that the moon landing was staged you thick wanker,there was even a documentary,i mean seems very odd that every single person involved with the moon landing has died MYSTERIOUSLY over the years!!!they were all killed to cover there tracks you knobhead!!


#2 - Holocaust denial rears its head with the little known Nuremberg Bomb...

It was a war crime, mass murder and a real holocaust, like Dresden and Hamberg and dozens of other German cities. Not like the fake jewish holohoax.

Oh, I forgot. It was proven at Nuremberg that the Nazis killed 20,000 jews with an atom bomb, so I guess that counts as a jewish holocaust.


#3 - A beautiful, self-referential, nomination.

Welcome all to Teh 28th Annual Stundie Awards for October!
Apart from the obvious typo it would seem that the stundies have been running since 1979, it pre-dates the forum (opened august 2001) and even the internet!!
Or maybe someone should point out to this thick as ******* ignorant murderer apologist that annual means once a year.


#4 - A new experiment for us all to try out!

Only under constant pressure of force, gravity wouldn't allow the fireball to travel down, only gravity would, but fire always travels up, not down. Liquid fuel in flames falling at any a rate the fire would travel upwards if falling if lit. Get lighter fluid and try it. (You might need a set of concrete stairs and a long lit stick).


#5 - Forget the main demolition; there was also a secret CD!

The basement and 22nd floor explosions were not part of a Controlled Demolition (if, then it would inideed make little sense), but part of a Secret Controlled Demolition.


#6 - Plug into the Matrix, and join the Hive Mind...

What I've discovered about the anti-conspiracy haters and/or resisters/fighters here is that they have very strong fixed beliefs that retard their reasoning capabilities. Another word for it is brainwashing, not the regular focused intentional isolated brainwashing like MK-ULTRA but an incremental conditioning form of daily brainwashing. This brainwashing is similar to a "hive mind" type of thinking that comes from and is generated/activated by stimuli like watching FOX News, being involved in organized religions, going along with the "crowd" so to speak and not thinking for ones self, and doing mundane ritualistic type behaviors e.g. using the same route to work each day, eating the same types of food, visiting the same places, hearing/listening to the same things, and/or basically having the same routine each day or most days in/of the week/month.


#7 - The most polite truther on the webs!

while i appreciate ur offer to be debunked, I'm content at the moment to believe that what happened on 9/11 was an inside job.


#8 - Oh, Inverted Burden Of Proof

Funny how they say that we have no evidence of explosives yet they have no evidence that there weren't any explosives.


#9 - Despite the supposed anonymity, I think we can guess who this is...

"SCREW 911 MYSTERIES" We have been repeatedly asked if we intend to rebut the recent production entitled "Screw 911 Mysteries - Clunkety-Clunk Edition." This is our response: A Major Republican who donated $100,000 to George W. Bush recently tried our suggestion. In his hotel room, using a stopwatch, he said "clunkety-clunk" 110 times. It took him over three minutes. Ten seconds vs. three minutes. You decide.


#10 - Little known fact - gravity has been a myth since the early Twentieth Century.

I think if anything, your posts have shown your lack of knowledge of science, not his.

Gravity doesn't exist. See:Einstein's Relativity


#11 - If I ever write a textbook on logical fallacies, guess what this will be used for...

It's not speculation to say that Bush needed 9/11 to invade Iraq because one event did follow the other.


#12 - In extreme cases, it is not you who are wrong. It is reality.

While this may be considered demolition from the "top" of the building, if -- instead -- we imagine that the top is comprised of a 30-story high building, the demolition would actually proceed from the bottom of that building.


#13 - Ever wondered what is really going on at the White House?

President Bush and his look-alikes, the biological identical twins who were raised in secure settings as a back-up, have been assured since birth that they would rule the world during the end times. It is no accident that Herbert Bush headed the CIA in the 1970's, and was selected as Reagan's vice president. The Bush family had plans. The Bush clones, who were in fact identical twins as the zygote was split and implanted into Barbara and several surrogate mothers, show the serious intent, as should the brother in the public eye develop a fatal illness or go insane or refuse to be directed by the cabal planning to rule the world, they could substitute another brother. At present there are only two brothers alive and operational - one in the White House, and the other living with the Puppet Master. The development of the Diebold voting machine, with software holes that allow totals to be manipulated from a remote location, was part of this grand Bush plan. The invasion of Iraq to gain the Middle East oil was another such part of the Bush plan, and is the reason George Herbert Bush left Saddam in place so he would have to be removed at a later date. The plan has hit the skids on all fronts.


#14 - Curse you High School physics! You never taught me this!!!

Speed & Mass = Velocity


#15 - Picking on the little details. Like which European country borders Germany on the East.

Kinda like saying Hitler attacked France to start WWII, and a "debunker" would respond "No no no, he attacked Poland to start WWII. Picking up on dictinctions with no differences. And, I will state again, (e^n this doesn't apply to you, but then again, not much does) there is a traitorous undertone to "debunking" at this late stage of the process.


#16 - He must have been part of the 'Sooper Sekrit Air Force'...

From a military point of view (I believe that in one of my past lives I was a WWII U.S. Air Force pilot) our drawbacks in intelligence and spy data was what caused 9/11.


#17 - I...don't know how to introduce this.

Yourself aside, my case with the NWO, or whatever you wish to call them is that they could exist at a level beyond the perception of the five senses, in a manner that objectivity cannot penetrate.


#18 - Hitler - the secret Allied sympathiser...

[Hitler] didn't want to actually take over Russia as much as he wanted to destroy his military for a later Allied invasion that would be a lot easier since a vast part of his military met there demise there.


#19 - 100% lies = Pure Twooth

you suck and your comment too. [Zeitgeist] is one of the best alternative independent documentations you will ever see. even when 100% of the information therein would be a lie, you would still find a lot of truth in it.


#20 - Pearl Harbour was accidentally put into play a few decades too early...

No, not Bush's fault, he's just corrupt. Just like his dad was. Their whole 9/11 report has wholes and lies in it. The biggest fault is to think that Bush could make this happen alone.. This has happened before, Hitler used false flag terror events, Pearl Harbor was a false flag event to attack Vietnam.. This video isn't CLOSE to proof that Osama did it, not close.


I have to say that this month I honestly had difficulty figuring out who would deserve a spot in the finals. I was certain there would only be ten...then thirteen...then fifteen. Twenty, of course, is the cap that the poll enforces upon me.

Let's make this a worthy competition, that we may dine on in hell!

#5 reminds me of the That 70's Show episode where Hyde tells the girls at the bar he comes from a "secret military base"

#9 (clunkity clunk) is classic but i'd rather vote for a lesser-known post

i really have to go with #16, due to the assumption that the person apparently is knowledgeable of the military because of one of his "past lives"

It has to be #19 for me too. Interestingly, its unfathomable rationale is a repetition of a previous stundie runner-up:

I thought this month's nominees all exhibited a severe lack of rationality (or intelligence), but I had to agree - 19 is kind of all encompassing, is short and sweet, and covers almost any CT.

I had to go with 13. I completely missed it on the Stundie nomination thread, and honestly had to pick up my jaw. Where in the [rule10]ing world did he get that!

Sabrina
7th December 2007, 08:28 AM
19, definitely 19.

The sheer lunacy of that statement did it for me. I was leaning toward 13 until I saw that one; it outdid 13 for me.

Not to my knowledge. It really is just a pathetic appeal to authority. "Hmmm... well the whole clunkity-clunk thing seems kind of stup... what's that? A major republican who donated to Bush, and therefore someone who is likely to oppose your theories took 3 minutes to do it?! Alert the presses!"

You have to love that they do not want facts to get in the way. I was tempted to go with 19 but had to vote 15. The reason being he added the caveat that you are a traitor if you point out errors in fact.

As a long-time posting award dictator, allow me to make one small suggestion, Moby. When creating the initial post, go to the post, click the quote button and copy/paste it into your new thread (editing as necessary). That allows the little arrow that links you to the nominated post. Also, include the nominee names in the poll. These people deserve recognition!

It's been a few months since I last cast a vote in the stundie awards, but boy oh boy what a collection this month offered up.

It had to be 19.

It is not often one laughs out loud at a computer screen, but this was one of those occasions.

Blue Mountain
7th December 2007, 06:00 PM
For sure it was a tough one to decide. In the end I gave a nod to #10 (gravity does not exist), because I find it almost inconceivable someone can be that clueless. Close follow-ups were #1 (the great moon landing massacre) and #9 (the clunkity-clunk rebuttal).

Good suggestiong, but actually ones that I've already either thought of or tested.

Clicking the quote button would work for posts from the JREF forums, but the majority of nominations and finalists do not come from the JREF forums. I could include links, but CT forums have a habit of deleting posts or indeed entire threads, and the link may be dead, meaning that the only evidence of the nomination is a screenshot (noms with no screenshot or link are immediately discarded). In other words, it's either track down the specific reference for each individual nom, or leave all the references in the nominations thread. To avoid a disproportionalte amount of work, I choose the latter.

As for posting the names of the nominees - last month I decided to experiment with making the finalists anonymous. The reason for this is that I don't want people to vote for a person, I want them to vote for what was actually said. I want people to look and say, "Hey, #25 is really bizarre and funny, I'm going to vote for that one," rather than saying, "Hey, that Dylan Avery is stupid, I'm going to vote for him."

Once the voting closes I do reveal the winner's identity and present him, her or it with the award.

Thanks for the suggestions though! :)

Finally, I said to myself, "That's enough pondering, vote already!"

So, I did.

For #19: even if something is comprised 100% of lies, it's still "truth" to the idiots in the 9/11 Truth™ Movement.

#19 reminds me of Yossarian's description of Catch-22:

"There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle."

The troofers seem intent on making things difficult for us by providing us with a cornucopia of wootastic nonsense. Numbers 12 (if the towers were only 30 stories tall) and 16 (I believe that in one of my past lives I was a WWII U.S. Air Force pilot) were tempting, but I had to go with 19. It so perfectly captures the essence of the troofer mindset.

Yes, the finalists all have something going for them, but #19 just kind of leaps out there and grabs you by the throat, so to speak, with its particular brand of special woo-ness. :)

Next month you either have to have less nominees or I'll have to wait a week and see which ones are the favored, because I'm on #12 and the video is already over 10 min. So, it will be in two parts.

I like the double joke in #16. Hint: Do a search on when the Air Force came into existance, and stopped being just another part of the US Army.

Nothing can stop the Army Air Corps....

Having talked to some of the dead, and since it had to do with Apollo, how could I possibly resist?

We'll see how things sort out next month. Thanks for putting in the effort!

It's getting down to the wire, and it looks like Pure Twoof has an insurmountable lead.

I can't wait for the annual Stundie award to be up for nominations :)

Did Sophia win any month? It's probably the most quoted "stupid truther comment" around here but I don't remember it ever winning the stundie :confused:

AFAIK, it never did (probably because in the early months of the Stundies, video entries were not eligible?) but perhaps it could be given an honourary entry into the "Best of" poll (if such a poll occurs).

Sophia's original "clunkity clunk" is actually from 2006, and won the precursor to the Stundies (called simply, "Best Truther Quote of 2006")

Someone (Gravy?) noticed early in January that there were already an inordinate amount of stupid things being said by the truthers, and by golly we better start getting them down for January. In January, LyteTrip won the "Best Truther Quote for January" award for his seesaw analogy and accompanying graphic.

It wasn't until February that the award received the 'official' title, "Teh 28th Annual Stundie Awards", affectionately known as "The Stundies", and a trophy was designed by long time CT absentee Oliver. The January finals have been retrospectively declared a Stundie thread for the purposes of the end of year competition.

So in short: Sophia never won a Stundie, but she did win the very first award of its type that was the precursor to the Stundies.

Cheers for the history lesson Moby :) I had honestly forgotten that the quote was in 2006, which makes sense because it made the final cut of my rebuttal which was also made in 2006 :p

We are gathered here today to honour c1ph4, who has brought a great amount of laughter into our lives. Through dedicated research c1ph4 has provided yet another example of an object denser than a singularity.

"you suck and your comment too. [Zeitgeist] is one of the best alternative independent documentations you will ever see. even when 100% of the information therein would be a lie, you would still find a lot of truth in it."

We gather tonight to award The Stundie. The Stundie is the sister award to the Darwin: for those who refuse to remove themselves from the gene pool by accident, but will make it their lifetime goal to poison it.

We thank you, c1ph4, and hope that you continue to post your comments on this or any other subject, using your gift for inadvertent comedy as a lesson to all of us here at the NWO.

To receive The Stundie is one of the most profound honours offered by the members of the JREF Conspiracy Theory Subforum, and one which in your case is well earned. Many attempt The Stundie, few attain it. You, c1ph4, have marked yourself as one deserving such an award.

Congratulations and Mazel Tov!

As I already said in the other thread, absolutely fantastic. I really appreciate the work you put into that, it turned out great.

The only thing I can really criticise is that when you were displaying the url of the thread, it wasn't particularly easy to read.

And when that's the worst criticism you get, you know you had to have done a damn good job. Thanks once again!
