Week 24: Pageant of the Transmundane

Hi from New York, it's Transmundanity Live (OK, I usually write these Friday afternoon so it is more like Transmundanity Tape Delay, but the effect is the same).

This week's winner was recommended to me by Maven via Stumbleupon.

This week's winning entry comes from a blog called Why Women Hate Men, which showcases really bad personal ads placed by men. Like horrendous, wincingly awkward personal ads that make me as a guy just shake my head in utter disbelief. And the site is run by a guy so as a fellow dude, I don't feel like there is some other agenda going on here. The site is definitely not safe for work, but it is funny.

But it wasn't the disturbingly bad ads that won this award. It was a simple image which was not related to any particular personal ad. Rather, it was just a dude who carved something into his chest hair. In retrospect, it is rather like giving an award to Michaelangelo for some sketches he did on a napkin rather than the whole tableau of his work, but the way I see it, by doing it this way, WWHM is still eligible for future awards if I highlight just this one entry rather than handing out an award for the entire blog, which I think is better for everyone involved.

And since this week's winner is at least tangentially related to near male nudity, a underwear clad Homer Simpson, weeping over a donut seemed like the most appropriate image for the Transmundanity Award... I hope you agree.



Congratulations Weasel on knocking my socks off.




The rules of this little contest: Every week I will be selecting one blog post that I have seen from the vast reaches of the blogosphere to bestow with the Homer Simpson Transmundanity Award for being one of the freakiest(in a funny way) things I've seen or read during a 7 day period. It doesn't necessarily have to have been written during the week, I just had to have encountered it. That means that if you find something interesting and repost it like a movie or whatever, if I saw it at your blog first, you get the prize. Of course, creating your own content is also a very good way to win.

Now, if you see a post that you think is worthy of this illustrious prize, just drop me a line at campybeaver@gmail.com and we'll see if we can't get your suggestion up and award-ready while giving you some credit and a link to your own blog.
