Person Of The Week/Douche Of The Week: Week One.

UPDATE: Vote Here

After careful consideration, here are the nominees for this week's Person Of The Week (POTW) and Douche Of The Week (DOTW).

Person Of The Week Nominees

Neil Armstrong

First man on the moon, died today at age 82. Got to the moon using only a computer with 64 kb of ROM. Also, outside of going to the moon and other scientific exploits, was a really laid back and humble person who didn't shove his achievements in your face.

Rick van Beek

Ran an entire marathon carrying his 13 year old daughter with cerebral palsy. +1 to faith in humanity.

Ecuador

Granted asylum to Julian Assange despite every industrialized nation wanting him dead and/or in prison because he runs WikiLeaks.

The person who taught us to eat Tic Tacs properly

Because we were all doing it wrong before:


Douche Of The Week Nominees

Norway

Sentenced a guy who killed 77 people to only 21 years in jail, but claimed they can extend it indefinitely "as long as he is deemed a threat to society". If the guy can kill 77 people and not feel sorry for it, won't he always be deemed a threat to society? Ammunition is far cheaper than maintaining his existence in a taxpayer-funded prison.

Snooki

Gave birth. Also wrote a book despite not being able to string a sentence together.

Rep. Todd Akin, R-Missouri

Brought douchebaggery to seemingly unprecedented levels by trying to say there was such a thing as "legitimate" rape (as opposed to illegitimate rape). Apologized for his actions but still won't step down from his ambition to hold public office.

The kid who sends me hate mail

Apparently I am the "poster child for post birth abortion", rape women and a pedophile.

Who would have thought, right?

UPDATE: Since Blogger's poll gadget doesn't want to cooperate, I'm going to be using SurveyMonkey to do all this stuff. Don't worry, your responses are completely anonymous.
