what particular asshole are you referring to?

Vunessuh's avatar

Sure.
But who decides what is being assholy and what isn’t?
The mods? Laughs
Everyone will have that award in a couple of hours if that’s the case.

Yes. And if there is, I’d certainly hope to be the first to get it.

But I’m dreaming now, am I?

Maybe there should be a less appealing name for the award. Chocolate starfish actually sounds like something good. Once for valentines day I got a box of really nice chocolate truffles that were shaped like different sea shells and yes, starfish. The starfish ones had a raspberry filling. Damn, they were awesome.

Maybe the award for a bad comment should be a facepalm or something. That’s how I feel about some comments on here.

This is a good read.

why a chocolate starfish? well why chocolate?

Haleth's avatar

@Medlang maybe we should just call it a poop-fish.

jrpowell's avatar

The “mammal” works too.

Gross! :-P but yes, I think there should be! But only if it was done in fun and not in a mean way. That’s one of the things I like about this site, people joke around but are mostly respectful of one another.

@Medlang – Chocolate Starfish was the name of a Limp Bizkit album. Surely you remember them? They brought us such crotch-grabbingly delightful gems as ”Break Stuff”, ”Rollin” and ”Nookie”.

@Sarcasm And all of a sudden the title makes sense.

Haleth's avatar

@Sarcasm Gross. I’d never heard that one before.

Medlang's avatar

ahhh. now it makes perfect sense

Maybe bronze/siler/golden turd awards…LOL

fundevogel's avatar

To answer the question…I don’t think so. The place stays classier and more interesting if we just give them enough rope to them hang themselves.

If there’s just a lot of hot air, it should be the Blowfish award.

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

@JustPlainBarb Excellent! +GA Especially as the fugu made from the blowfish is deadly if not prepared properly.

Unfortunately there are far too many people who would be tripping all over each other to get in line for it cuz they would figure it’s a good thing.

Assholes certainly don’t need any more encouragement. There are plenty enough of them already~~:)

Snarp's avatar

Heh, I don’t know, but that’s what I think of every time I see the word starfish already, so thanks.

laureth's avatar

Let’s not reward behaviour we’d rather not encourage.

Now, perhaps if there were a tax on asshole comments, that would heighten the quality of the site…

oratio's avatar

@johnpowell Damn! That was… different. Didn’t know there was so much anger out there.

jrpowell's avatar

The funny thing is that I really like JOE. I just wanted to check out what he had made. I was kinda shocked by the hate.

fundevogel's avatar

They took the page down, are they embarrassed by their rage?

lloydbird's avatar

@mammal No.
Can I please have one for this answer?
