baron-pierreIV Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 Republic of South Korea. (My, those fingers of dear old Johnny look remarkably juvenal and so well-manicured!! )
LuigiVercotti Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Posted February 26, 2010 Republic of South Korea. (My, those fingers of dear old Johnny look remarkably juvenal and so well-manicured!! ) It's because he sequestered virginal Romanian gymnasts to come to his Lausanne bunker and give him a manicure every day of his reign.
GeeCee Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 The protesters who smashed up windows downtown..
Sir Rols Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 Good award. A bit to parochial to win, but I'll nominate Eddie Maguire and Mick Molloy. Boofheads on a chunder crawl!
cormiermax Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 Westergard-Thorpe, that bitch who wanted violent protests.
LuigiVercotti Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Posted February 27, 2010 Westergard-Thorpe, that bitch who wanted violent protests. So, as we stand right now the Juan is up for grabs for these sterling efforts of 'slower, lower, weaker' at Vancouver: The British Media The Republic of South Korea The Anti-Olympic Protesters (including Alissa Westergard-Thorpe) (2 nominations) Eddie McGuire & Mick Molloy Looks like it could be a split between various media outlets and the anti-Vancouver 2010 whackos. How about Plushenko for his dummy spit, or the International Luge Federation for their piss-poor response to the death of Nodar Kumaritashvili? Keep those nominees rolling in folks...the Juan could become the next Victoria Cross or at least Victoria not really Cross but still pretty grumpy.
Sir Rols Posted February 27, 2010 Report Posted February 27, 2010 S Looks like it could be a split between various media outlets and the anti-Vancouver 2010 whackos. Let's add NBC then, for managing to still find a way to tape delay a virtual whole home time zone olympics.
Sir Rols Posted February 27, 2010 Report Posted February 27, 2010 .... and the IOC dickhead who tried to Ban The Roo
LuigiVercotti Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Posted February 27, 2010 Let's add NBC then, for managing to still find a way to tape delay a virtual whole home time zone olympics. Thanks SR...and spasiba to Olympian for Evgeni 'Iz Amerikanski konspiracy' Plushenko
LuigiVercotti Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Posted February 27, 2010 Keep those Juan nominees rolling in folks...anyone willing to go for the big cheese himself, Jacques Rogge for his veiled threat to women's ice hockey?
baron-pierreIV Posted February 27, 2010 Report Posted February 27, 2010 Evgeni Plushenko I'd go with this one...comrade Good Sport himself!!
Mainad Posted February 27, 2010 Report Posted February 27, 2010 Whoever authorised that great big fence around the Olympic cauldron.
krow Posted February 27, 2010 Report Posted February 27, 2010 Let's add NBC then, for managing to still find a way to tape delay a virtual whole home time zone olympics. does anyone know the real reason why they did this? i can only assume it had to do with the times events being held not being convenient enough for east coast viewers.
LuigiVercotti Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Posted February 28, 2010 So, the leading contenders for the inaugural Juan are... The anti-Olympic protesters Evgeny Plushenko Others to get a nod... Russian Media British Media Channel 9's Eddie McGuire & Mick Molloy NBC The Cauldron Fence (and whoever authorised it) The ban on the boxing kangaroo (and whoever threatened it) El Nino South Korea Less than 24 hours to finish off the nominees folks...still no nomination for the likes of the FIL, Jacques Rogge, the figure skating judges or whomever turned your Vancouver 2010 experience into a pain in the patoot
Olympian2004 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Posted February 28, 2010 The British and the Russian media deserve the same share of that medal.
Colonel Iredale Posted February 28, 2010 Report Posted February 28, 2010 Please nominate the person, organisation or country that did the least to make the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter games the just aboot right games they are. Nominees will be accepted from now until the close of the games, whereupon the top 3 nominees can be voted for over the following week. The final announcement of the Juan's winner will be made at Monday 8th March (Australian time). ...and what time would that be?
4seasonscentre Posted February 28, 2010 Report Posted February 28, 2010 I second (third/fourth... whatever we're on) the Anti-Olympic protestors, especially the ones that delayed the Four Host Nations Chiefs to the opening ceremony.
LuigiVercotti Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Posted February 28, 2010 ...and what time would that be? Okay, as the Closing Ceremony finishes later today, let's say the nominees close at 6pm Eastern Daylight Time Australia today, and voting should open shortly thereafter. Have to leave some time/space for anyone who wants to nominate David Atkins in case there's another ceremony stuff up The British and the Russian media deserve the same share of that medal. Anyone care to split or add to that combined nomination?
Fox334 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Posted March 1, 2010 Anyone care to split or add to that combined nomination? Sure, I'll give my nomination to either.
LuigiVercotti Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Posted March 1, 2010 Nominations have closed and I'll be posting the poll shortly...
