Time Man of the Year - NOT

I think that Muammar Gaddafi, Libyan dictator, should be Man of the Year. I really do - he should get some sort of lifetime achievement Man of the Year award. Sadly, no one else will see why this makes sense, and it will never happen. But still, I will try to convince you.

Celebrating the accomplishments of the true Man of the Year, Muammar Gaddafi.

We all know his awesome heroics, valiantly battling evil hordes of poorly armed civilians, with just a few hundred tanks and battalions. We all know his dedication to his country, having served as a guardian of Libya for over 42 years, and getting only a few billion dollars in return. We all know his handsome chiseled face, he was once voted the sexiest genocidal dictator alive by Crime magazine. If these weren't enough, I will tell you some of the lesser known exploits of this amazing man.


#1 Being the longest serving head of a state without having rigged a single election - mainly because there weren't too many, and some opponents inexplicably and sadly died just before the election

#2 Promoting female empowerment by constituting a 40 member all-female all-virgin all-kickass bodyguard contingent, long before Charlie even thought of recruiting three angels

#3 For having lost every single military action he ever undertook: the Chad-Libya wars, the UK/Germany/NZ terrorist attacks, and for being attacked by the US twice

#4 Having special knowledge of medicine not granted to other mortals: he once said that HIV was a peaceful virus, not an aggressive virus. He is also extremely logical and politically correct, having said: "if you are straight you have nothing to fear from AIDS"

#5 Being so awesome he spells his name in over 112 ways in English alone, using most of the letters, even Q. Now that's a man to play Scrabble with - he'll change the rules to make all the spellings of his name legal, and they're all seven letters long, and he'll kill you if you win

#6 Being a published author, writing the Green Book which, among other controversial things, claimed that women (like men) are also humans! The book has been the number 1 bestseller in Libya for 35 consecutive years

#7 Showing the foresight required of a true global leader when, angered at the arrest of his son, Hannibal Gaddafi, by the Geneva police, he called for the dissolution of Switzerland and redistribution of its among France, Italy and Germany

#8 Being education focussed (ignore recent student-killing events) by cancelling school vacations in summer 1973 to allow for the teaching of his ideology

#9 Showing a willingness to waste public money rivalling that of Mayawati when he started the Libyan National Telescope Project, costing nearly 10 million euros, just because of his passionate interest in astronomy. I am sure this was enthusiastically acclaimed by his subjects - when you are hungry and oppressed, a telescope is the one thing that can solve all your problems

#10 Purchasing a 7.5% share in Juventus Football Club for $21 million, like any sensible head of state. Are not public funds the property of every man, especially the dictator?

10 things you could learn from the Grammy Awards

The Grammys were the most educational event in the past month.I learnt some great life lessons that I will now impart to you in all my benevolent intent.

1. Lady Gaga can do whatever the hell she wants, no one is surprised anymore.
2. Christina Aguilera sang the wrong words for the American national anthem at the Super Bowl. Thats how she got the Grammy gig, they wanted to see if she would do it again. She almost tripped and fell, she tried her best.
3. Cee-Lo deserves a Grammy for Best Grammy Performance.
4. Grammy performances is a great way to showcase new and upcoming musical talent as long as they are already platinum artists with millions of records sold.
5. Justin Beiber did not win anything. Teen pregnancy drops 2 percent in the US.

6. Lady Antebellum won 5 awards... who the **** is Lady Antebellum.
7. Seth Rogen and Miley Cyrus got high together and made a baby... it will be born in 2012 and destroy the world with sheer stupidity.
8. Rihanna showed that if you dont have a wardrobe, you cant have a wardrobe malfunction.
9. Mick Jagger is still alive.
10. Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby ooooo
baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby ooooo

We're not the Champions

Watching the first match of the World Cup, I was trying to imagine how it must feel to be the captain of Ireland or Canada, knowing you were not going to in to win, yet knowing that if you did, that day would become a national holiday in your honour. Either I saw a very vivid dream, or perhaps I have an alterego who roams the streets acting out my fantasies while I sleep, but when i woke up the next day I have the distinct memory of having spoken to the Irish captain, William Porterfield.
Oh and did I mention I had him strapped onto a lie detector. So here are the only truthful answers I squeezed out of him.

Me: So how is the whole World Cup experience for your team?
WP: Yes, it is in fact very much like you would think, The Man. By the way, I'm a huge fan of you and the Comedy Store. Coming back to the point, the World Cup is actually a great experience for us. Our country doesnt pay for our kits, we have to buy our own bats and balls. But once a year, even they loosen the strings and we get a paid vacation to England or Australia or West Indies. Thats why it sucks that we are hosting the cup this year, all we get this year is autorickshaw fare to the stadium.


Me: Interesting. What about the actual cricket?
WP: Well, I expect a fruitful World Cup. We dont really try or hope to win, unless its todays Australia, or yesterdays India, or West Indies any day. This is just excellent practice for our players. Our batsmen have been training for this day most of their lives. It is a right of passage for a batsman to manhood, every one who survives 10 overs or more in a match is declared a man and is a hit with the ladies back home. Our bowlers learn to become great gamblers, and can predict sixes and fours before they happen. They go on to fix many a match and build many a casinos. Our fielders chase so many boundaries that they become great marathon runners.


Me: It is remarkable how you bunch of losers can maintain such a positive outlook. Well, good luck to you, sir.
WP: Yeah, well, we're not that good, only about as good as India in every sport besides cricket.

Touche!!
