It's time to recognize the stupid

For as long as I can remember, there has been someone in my life that told me when I was being stupid. They would verbally or physically put me in my place. I grew up in a time when it was ok to beat your child if he or she acted up. When I was growing up it was ok for everyone to beat you. It wasn't child abuse it was knocking some sense into your kids and I am a better person today because of it.

In college, my male friends were ruthless and would talk about anyone at the drop of a hat but they wouldn't say anything behind your back that they wouldn't say to your face. Say something stupid they told you. Wore something that you should not have worn (like corduroy shorts) and you would be talked about. They would verbally knock some sense into you.

Everyone needs people like this because we can't always see when we are doing/saying/wearing something that we shouldn't be. It is my firm belief that some fairly important people do not have someone to tell them when they being stupid. They don't have anyone to knock some sense into them. Well, I plan to remedy that.

During the First Annual Kick Them in the Throat Awards, I plan on highlighting people that need a lot more than a smack in the head. A simple smack is not enough to knock some sense into them. They need a stronger dose. They need to be kicked in the throat. It's not pretty but sometimes it's necessary.

Here are some examples of people that need a Kick in the Throat.

Sports:

Terrell Owens - A living stereotype of the spoiled athlete.

The Minnesota Vikings - These guys are professional football players they can afford to BUY a boat to get freaky on. If they owned the boat and personally hired the crew they could have had their orgy in private.

Entertainment:

Paris Hilton - When a sex tape is the high point of your life, you know that you have problems.

Michael Jackson - It might be too late for him but someone needs to try and save him from himself.

R. Kelly - Enough with this Trapped in the Closet crap. It's not interesting…at all.

Politics:

The Augusta Commission - Exactly what did they learn in Hawaii? Are we going to have luaus after every meeting now?

Columbia County District Attorney's Office and some angry parents - For locking up boys from Greenbrier when it appears that all they did was have consensual sex.

Every politician, every party - I don't care if you are liberal, conservative, or other. If you are a politician, you are probably scum.

These are just a few of the early nominees. The official list comes out next week. If you know someone that should be on the list for the prestigious Throatie Award, leave me a comment or drop me a line. It doesn't matter if they are in a foreign county or right here in the C.S.R.A. If they deserve it, my size 12's will reach them.
