Week 49: Pageant of the Transmundane

The country of Norway was run via an iPad by its president while he was stranded at a US airport due to the Icelandic Volcanic eruption. Well, I am sure Apple was happy about that story coming out.

This week's winning entry comes to us from the Epic Fail blog.

It is a video of a kid playing the Wii. He falls over, and then something nasty happens to him... but he continues to keep playing... and his guardian keeps filming rather than helping him.

It lives up to the Epic Fail moniker.

And because I don't want to wreck the surprise of what the nasty thing that befalls that child, so I have gone with a Homer Simpson image that is more in keeping with the game that is being played.



Congrats to the staff of Epic Fail.



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 blogging village 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.

This is not a meme. This is an award that I give out, and thus, I am not "tagging" you.

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.
