WTF is "Gold Moms Choice Award"? The newest warning label?
If the Americans are so keen about banning books, they should really start with this one. Ever thought about "What if books could kill?" - This one can.
It sounds like a bit of an award scam actually - there's a disappointed recipient taking about it here.
I don't think there's a lot of legal stuff around awards - you can pretty much just make one up and give it to things.
Winners who pay $500 may use the Mom’s Choice Awards seal “for marketing and promotional purposes” BUT must pay the $1500 fee to actually put the seal on the books. Unless you purchase the stick on seals, 100 for $50.00.
Yeah, that's definitely a scam.
Congratulations! You wrote the best comment I have read in the last 30 seconds! 🏅
Hooray! - It's a great honour to receive this award :)
Incidentally, I'd like to present you with the MOMU* Award Gold Trophy for Comment Excellence🏆
*MOMU = My Own Made Up Award
If memory serves correctly The Daily Wire invented their own awards just to say their journalism is "Award Winning"
I've met this kind of awards somewhere. One supermarket chain boasted that one of their businesses won the "Supermarket of the Year" award. And the next year it was again that one of their locations won that price. So I dug a bit deeper and learned that they own the local version of "Supermarket of the Year" award, and only markets of their own chain "participate".
I recently went on a drive from Indiana to Minnesota and back, doing a different route each time. Almost every hospital we passed said it was one of the 100 best hospitals according to (I think) U.S. News and World Report.
What are the chances?
I, too, often pat myself on the back. If I don't, who will?
Gold Moms
Imagining a big pot of molten gold, and a middle aged woman in one of those perfect blonde helmet hair cuts slowly dipping her elderly mother into it, while laughing and screaming about how "I'm going to post you to instagram! I'm going to treasure you forever!"
I imagined that as a Gary Larson cartoon for some reason.
We love feel good awards. Did you know I'm a Times Person of the Year?
So am I! The year 2006 was a great year for everyone.
I feel sorry for everyone born after 2006. It must feel so lame not being a Times Person of the Year.
