Revision as of 22:42, 17 October 2009
Template:AOTW Navigation Add your snarkilicious take on some of the more WTF or egregious blog entries out there. Be sure to link to the entry, at the very least.
Same rules as WIGO CP. New items at the top.
Voting helps people find the best entries over at Best of the clogosphere.
Always be wary of Poe's Law, if something seems too outrageous to be true fortunately it often is. If you see an entry that you think is questionable use {{poe}}.
What is going on?
October 2009
   | 10 | OMG some complete random person has been selling Obama flags on e-bay - we must prosecute them to the full extent of the law, which is nothing more than screaming "don't do that." That is one can of worms you might not want to open. |
| -8 | Here's |
| 2 | From the minds that brought you the Whitewater conspiracy and the Vince Foster "murder": Obama is leading a bloodless coup. |
| 2 | Nobel Peace Prize nominee Rush Limbaugh shows why he was never a winner. |
| 4 | Obviously John McCain should have won the Nobel Peace Prize. |
| 2 | Julie provides more Foxworthy-esque Demonic Awareness Month humor and shills for her at home exorcism methods. MORE:Apparently demonic possession is all about making questionable fashion choices HarHarHar. EVEN MORE: Exposed boxers and strippers are pretty obvious signs of demonic possession |
| 23 | Truly one picture is worth a thousand clogo posts. (see here for a simple but snarkilicious take on the original) |
| 3 | Julie kicks off Demonic Awareness Month by ripping off Jeff Foxworthy BONUS: Jinxie goes all Conservapedia on people commenting on Julie's whackadoodleness. |
| 3 | It is the first of October, let the War on Christmas begin. |
| 2 | World's worst blog comedian Holy Plan's Ben shows that he still does not quite get it. |
September 2009
| 12 | Republicans love their country so much, they'll destroy it if necessary: Newsmax prints an article advocating a military coup to overthrow Obama, then gets cold feet (or possibly a visit from the Secret Service) and yanks it. Traitors and wimps--what a great combination! (Full text here, when and if the cache expires.) |
| 7 | Oh noes! A 16 year old boy got beaten to death in Chicago! Instead of blaming the perpetrators of the beating, Glenn Beck goes off blaming atheists and nontheists for violence and collapse of society. Uhh...Glenn, I think the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Danes, and the Japanese would like to have a word with you. |
| 4 | Atheism is just a new identity for the snobby middle-classes, apparently. Ariane Sherine, on the other hand, responds gracefully. |
| 3 | Julie falls for a variation on an old George Carlin routine. She's wrastled demons, spoke to God, and reinterpreted the bible but the Catholic equivalent of the "who's on first" bit stumps her. BONUS: Jinx wades in via the comments section and entirely misses the point. |
| 6 | America is just like Austria in the 1930s. The Nazis had laws on things, the US government has laws on things as well. OMG, Obama is Hitler! |
| 23 | The rapture starts on September 21, 2009. Get your tickets now! Add: ...So, is anyone you know missing? |
| 4 | CMI tries to argue for young-earth creationism with a quote from, of all people, C.S. ("Theistic Evolutionist") Lewis. Furthermore, the quote itself acknowledges evolution as having happened! |
| 2 | The Free Republic boards show their amazing tact and decency. |
| 9 | An increase in the number of earthquakes is a sign that the end times are coming. |
| 0 | Julie tries No True Scotsman, before declaring "it is because of OUR moral decline that Barack Obama is President." |
| 2 | Cass Sunstein: Just Another Czar in Obama's Anti-Life Pyrimid Scheam. This columnist: Just another loony nutter with frighteningly bad command of the English language. |
| 3 | In what has surely come as a surprise to fans of one of the world's least interesting bands, The Corr's, Jim Corr, their 'main man', turns out to be a mad 9/11 conspiracist New World Order nutjob. |
| 4 | Kent Hovind explains from jail why structuring isn't structuring and asks for $380,000 to save Dino Adventure Land. Scary thing is it appears to be working! |
| -1 | Nobody listens to me! I know - it's all RW's fault! |
| -1 | Don't worry Julie, I doubt the aliens/Nephilim will take you as a wife. |
| -2 | Yes, Malta is an island, but last time I checked it was a island in Europe. Helpful hint: Search the page for Malta, and look where it is listed. |
| -1 | Now this is quality Jinx baiting |
| 4 | Not all black people are a drug taking, welfare dependent criminals, just the ones who voted for Obama. |
August 2009
| 0 | Farah you are not just a journalist with whom I disagree - you are a cunt. |
| -1 | "Hezbollah and al-Qaida are not as dangerous as America's liberals." Nuff said. |
| -1 | Michael |
| 5 | WorldNutDaily shatters every irony meter within a hundred miles: SOCIETY HAS TO BE CLEANSED! THEN AMERICA CAN CHANGE THE WORLD! This in an article calling Obama a Nazi. Bonus lulz: The Nazis weren't fascists; they were actually Reds. |
| 1 | Godwin much Jinx hi Jinx!? |
| 5 | WND shows why it is the gold standard in investigative journalism: OMG!! OBAMA's MYSPACE PAGE SAZ HE IS 52 HE CAN'T BE PRESIDENT!!11! Also regular reads will notice that they have added his kindergarten records to the list of documents they want released. Where's the finger paintings? |
| 2 | The Daily Express tries to beat the Daily Mail as Britians worst tabloid-in-denial with this family friendly piece of transphobia. (People must have noticed as the "have your say" bit is disabled and their editorial comment that was on the printed editiion, where they happily confused transgender and transvestite, isn't available online) |
| 1 | Oh noes! Disney's new film has a black princess. Luckily somebody has his head screwed on straight when it comes to the "controversy". |
| -2 | Rachel Marsden (who apparently didn't get the memo about the breakup of the Soviet Union) takes a shine to Vladimir Putin. Fortunately, being Russian Prime Minister gets you your own security detail. |
| 0 | There are no statistics more compelling than those presented in a word document with the red lines under them. |
| 30 | Investor Business Daily brings the Stupid: "People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless." and "The British have succeeded in putting a price tag on human life, as we are about to." Evidently, they don't know what country Hawking lives in, or what an "Insurance Company" does. More: Big Steve praises the NHS. |
| 15 | Conservatives rally around poor Kenneth Gladney, a black conservative just trying to make a living who was assaulted by "Obama Union Thugs." Interesting story about this though, after the "assault," Mr. Gladney was able to yell and scream, and he seemed just fine when he appeared on Fox News the next day. But come Saturday, two days after the attack, he's suddenly confined to a wheelchair and too hurt to speak. Those union thugs must be using some sort of delayed reaction crippling device, no doubt built by Barack Obama himself to silence the protesters. |
| 3 | From WorldNutDaily: In the ongoing saga of GOP plants vs. representatives at town hall meetings, when Rep. John Tanner of Tennessee declined to hold a town hall meeting, the plants made a video exposing his |
| 1 | As part of his master plan to round up dissidents into FEMA concentration camps, Obama makes the mistake of publicly advertising for interment officers. Don't worry America, WorldNutDaily is on the case. |
| 17 | Sarah Palin's latest grab for attention. Fucking hell. I don't even have something witty to say about this. I fucking need a drink... |
| 0 | Let's throw our political opponents in Guantanamo Bay, of course it is they who are the fascists. |
| 1 | The only racism in the US is those |
| 0 | Holy Plan's Ben shows how up to date he keeps his blog by posting on something that was roundly debunked three years ago. |
| 1 | Pastor Tom Estes (writing it T.estes makes my inner 5-year-old giggle), fresh from trolling Pharyngula, decides to go full-metal CP and IP-blocks his detractors. |
| 0 | Arthur Laffer, of Laffer Curve fame, says that health care can't be run by the government, asking an audience to imagine Medicare or Medicaid done by the government. Yes, what if Medicare was done by the government... |
| 0 | VenomFangX is back! Comes with Godwin's Law right at the 3rd comment! |
| 1 | Finally, Obama's REAL birth certificate is revealed! So much for those crackpots who thought he was born in Kenya! Update: get your own Kenyan birth certificate here! |
| 0 | A White Christian can marry a Black Christian, but that is not evolution, it is just variations within a kind. Also, although it is perfectly all right for Christians to marry other believers, such as Muslims, marrying an atheist is a definite no-no. |
| 0 | As hard as it is to accept, Roy Edroso isn't making this shit up. |
Egregious sources
List all your favorite small-time local blogiots main addresses, etc., here.
- Denyse O'Leary, who runs multiple IDiot blogs and cross-links them to pretend it's a movement.
- No Shoes or Shirt Required is written by a Southern-fried little hate monger with a (virtual) hard-on for "Darwinists" and Homosexuals. Specializing in simple lies for simple people, quote mining, and hate speech disguised as God's love, this blog is sponsored by the online version of a Norfolk, Virginia local paper, because they like to broadcast their bigotry down in the Bible Belt.
- Five Feet of Fury, a comments-free Canadian hard right blog, run by an unemployed woman who thinks hoaxing Jews by claiming to be a Holocaust victim is hilarious. But hey, she doesn't think the Nazis were really responsible either, so how stable can she be?
- Small Dead Animals, allegedly "the best Canadian blog" (2007) another unpleasant Canadian woman .
- Rachel Marsden's Daily Drive-by. Sometimes called the "Canadian Anne Coulter" (mostly by herself). Better known for (i) falsely accusing a swimming instructor of rape; and (ii) sleeping with Jimmy Wales whilst trying to make her Wikipedia biography more favorable and then (after getting dumped on Wikipedia) trying to sell his clothing on eBay.
- Mesopotamia West, run by a 67-year-old Conservative who gets off on his own poor smut and really doesn't like people from other countries.
- Answers in Genesis' own journal, Answers Research Journal
- A lovely Australian biologist, Christian, and creationist.
- Shock and Blog, the ramblings of a part-time anti-semite, one-time CP sysop, full-time moron called Jinxmchue. WARNING: Direct links to "Shock and Blog" from RationalWiki are redirected to goatse. Please format all links to Jinx's blogs like the link in this entry to circumvent this.
- The REAL Jesusland, loony Christian-related stuff from (Oh no! Not again!) Jinxmchue. WARNING: Direct links to "The REAL Jesusland" from RationalWiki are redirected to goatse. Please format all links to Jinx's blogs like the link in this entry to circumvent this.
- Coast-to-coast-am's news ticker could practically just be copied here.
- Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Encyclopedia - just hit "random page"...
- GrasstopUSA - Whilst sometime their guest commentator is good their "exclusive commentary" by Don Feder (who?) is always prime quality clogo. While you are there don't forget to ask Chris to send your "50 Blast Fax" for $50 (they use to be $20 InstaFaxes) you just need a major credit card.
- American Family Association Action Alerts - these are always stupid, but sometime they out class themselves in demanding apologies for trivialities. Be sure to send your personal outrage in the form of a form letter (at least they don't charge you).
- Creation Science Evangelism God talks to America's favorite tax fraudfeasor.
- Science and Math Defeated
- The American View: Originally set up as a part of Michael Peroutka's 2004 presidential campaign, now effectively the personal bullhorn of a hyper-Calvinist crank named John Lofton, who gets a sub sandwich for $6.66 and concludes that the end of the world is at hand. [1]
- Holy plan - A staggeringly immature blog, by man in his 20s. If you can't stand the excessive use of lol, especially when used as a debating point, as in "scientist think they do science, lol they are wrong", this blog will cause you major cardiac problems.
- James Edwards: The Rise of Ethnopolitics — "Conservatism is dead. Liberalism has no answers. What comes next? The rise of ethnopolitics."
- Cao's (pronounced Key's) blog - A right-wing, pro-military, al-Qaida conspiracy theorist, married woman. Has been used by Ken for source material.
- WomanTalk -Sharon Hughes and friends (i.e. right wing fundies}
- Ladies Against Feminism: Housewives who somehow find time off from their busy schedule of skivvy duty to rant on the website about how "Christ is the head of the man and man is the head of the woman" and emphasize that "Biblical womanhood is not a 'white thing.'"
- David Klinghoffer's blog is bound to have an anti-Darwinist screed on it.
- Save the Males - Rantings about Zionists, Illuminati and feminist.
- Atheism is Dead — an anti-atheism blog featured on the front page of Conservapedia on August 8, 2009.
