The First Annual Brass Donkey Awards

First there were the Brass Crescent Awards. Now, Haroon Moghul would like to present to you the Brass Donkey Awards (which is likely to be a veritable collection of jafis). He does a better job of explaining what these awards are all about. Here are the categories:

1. Most Lopsided Blog
This category honors the blog that has the least reason to exist, by providing us the kind of imbalanced information that renders the blog perfectly perpendicular to reality. (You cannot walk on it, but you can bang your head into it.)

2. Least Interesting Post
This category honors the most poorly-written post ever, which no one can get through, at least not without the aid of caffeine, nicotine or adrenaline. (Must we have proof you finished the post, to confirm it really wasn't worth concluding?)

3. Post Most Likely To Have Been Posted By an Uncle
This category honors the most redundant post; alternatively, it highlights the excessive use of bad analogies, similes and/or metaphors. (In other words, the type of post you could take to your masjid on Friday and make into a sermon. Shudder.)

4. Most Annoying Commenter
Basically Flanstein.

5. Most Incendiary Blogger
The blogger who most relies on imperialistic rhetoric, whether that be right-wing, Islamist, Maoist or Capitalist, who is so flammable that he ends up pissing you off, and in fact only gains attention by inverse proportion to his education.

6. Worst Group Blog
The blog that brings together a number of luckless personalities, who need to come together to do what anyone else, on her own, could easily do. In other words, an argument for monarchy, tyranny, or perhaps autocracy.

I think this sounds like a great idea. The commentary on the award-winners could be amusing and yet it would serve a practical purpose.
