The 78th Annual FANNY AWARDS~!
 
That's right folks, the standard bearer of tasteless online Awards returns! Celebrating its 78th straight year of offensiveness! Just ignore the part where there's no clear-cut evidence of the first 72! ...It happened! Trust us!  It's just that we happened to be the only website on the  Internet for 65+ years, and thus keeping track of these things was next to impossible. That's all! I mean, seriously, who could forget Hollywoodland Hogan being bestowed the honor of first ever Wrestler of the Year in 1930? (Hulk was already some 40 years into his career at that point.). Everybody? Maybe.
 
TWF WRITER OF THE YEAR 2008
 
In any Event, the most prestigious Reader-voted Award of the year is of course the obscenely reputable honor of TWF WRITER OF THE YEAR -- the award of course most closely associated with Sean Carless's near death grip and predictable and annoying Undertaker-like streak of never losing. UNTIL THIS YEAR. Oh, it's true. On a year Stevie Richards finally succumbed to fate of WWE termination and showed us (we saw) how to pack a suitcase full of half shirts and tiny denim shorts and heartbreakingly head home--thus breaking his incomparable streak of victory in the "Cling-On Award" category-- so to is Mr. Carless now forfeiting his spot as a nominee this year for Writer of the Year, so to hopefully give *someone else* not named Canadian Bacon the honor of victory for once. (Plus, what, did Sean like maybe write 5 things this year? FUCK HIM.). But hey, don't take our words for it... here it is from his own lips...
 
"What? What do you mean I'm not nominated this year? I still own this place, don't I? Don't I? Why is no one listening to me?! Hello? Where am I? Why is it dark here! Someone, anyone, help!" -Sean Carless.
 
Oh, that Sean.  What a kidder! And you know, not secretly kidnapped until after the posting of the Fanny Awards.  The Truth is, he actually died in May of this year, but we really had no chance to really break the news. Or we didn't care. Either/or.
 
So, that said, this year's *official* 12 nominees--12 because damn it, that's the poll maximum~!-- were chosen because of several important criteria's:
 
-They didn't suck.
-They still write here.
-They, unlike others, had the good sense to put a little English on their bribing fellatio.
 
The Nominees in question, as chosen by a random panel of the TWF Academy of Arts and Sciences (whose members can like totally paint and create cold fusion simultaneously) can be found to the left. So vote wisely.
 
So, that said. who will succeed Mr. Carless this year as Writer of the Year? --an Award now known as the "Sean Carless Commemorative Award Honoring Honor In The Honorable Field Of being Like Totally Fucking Awesome At Writing And Ya, That's About It." The Plaque is now 15 feet wide and weighs 300 pounds. It also doesn't exist. (Much like Bacon's chances of winning, despite his competition no longer being eligible...)-- THE CHOICE IS YOURS. VOTE NOW!
 
To vote on the two other  current Reader's choice Awards; scroll down for "Column Of The Year" or Click HERE for the TWF PHOTOSHOP OF THE YEAR.
 
WINNERS TO BE REVEALED IN THE NEW YEAR! STAY TUNED! (Or don't. Whatever.).

TWF COLUMN OF THE YEAR 2008
 
Like an unwanted brother (not MVP), the following Award is a new addition to the Fanny's. It's sole purpose for being created is to celebrate the single best column produced this year--and as such perhaps reward those who contributed an exemplarily effort-- yet  due to infrequency were ineligible for the actual WRITER OF THE YEAR AWARD.  Standard TV Reports were not considered for nomination in this category, as there were just too many submissions to comb through for consideration. So don't feel bad (as if someone who reads this site would feel guilt about anything..). They are to be considered for the WOTY Award above.
 
Once again,  the final 12 Nominees were wrangled down from about 30 considerations overall by the celebrated, revered, prestigious and nonexistent TWF Academy. The criteria for nomination was simple: These were the most popular; most read & linked to; creative columns produced this year. This was not an Award designed to reward the best column overall on a weekly basis; but rather the one single column/satire/Rant written this year that stood above the rest. The  individual effort that personified what we do here. And why so many people with souls or consciences get visibly ill when reading their contents. The choice is yours!
 
Here are links to the 12 Nominees so you can decide for yourself! --Or be influenced by others because you're feeble-minded and easily manipulated! Thank you for voting!
