For the record:
Personally, I’m amazed (and more than a little insulted) that I’d didn’t get at least a PG-13 out of the deal. I mean, the reason I started this blog in the first place was that I needed a place in this world where I could come and scream four-letter words. And you all surely remember that I’ve been known to do that from time to time. Right? So what’s this PG-shit crap pretense?
So, the Bizarre Born-Again Bullshit Homeschool Blog Awards are gearing up for another bout of blatant misrepresentation. They like to say they’re showing you the best of the homeschool blogs, but really what they’re showing you is maybe one-third of the blogs out there that are written by people they know from their bible studies that think only exactly the way they do in their nice little sheltered world where they like to pretend that radical liberals, feminists, gays, and such just don’t exist (and if they do exist, they’re only pestering us because the devil told them to, so keep your eyes on your bible, friends, and just don’t read anything they have to say because it might do something evil like encourage you to go trick or treating, or go see an “R” rated movie or worst of all, develop the ability to think for yourself….GASP!!!!!)
So, they prefer to disqualify any blogs actually worth reading, and one of the ways they’ve done that this year is to admit only G-Rated Blogs to the Awards program. So, if some fool nominates you and they run you through this rating service and you don’t come out G-Rated, you’re automatically disqualified.
But what I find funniest about this is that everyone is now running their blogs through the rating service and then posting the image on their blogs, like I’ve done above, and if they don’t know how to modify the code of the image they’re putting up on their blogs, what they’re actually doing is providing subtle advertising for an ONLINE DATING SERVICE somewhere in Phoenix. Go ahead and hover over that image at the top of this post and you’ll see what I mean.
Now, I ask you: is that really a Christian thing to do? To promote online dating? Is that what they want for their kids? Really? Because the vast majority of these idiots running that thing are married aren’t they? So why are they inadvertently promoting online dating?
Fucking morons, every one of them.
Personally, I consider it a victory to NOT be nominated for the Homeschool Blog Awards. In fact, if I were to be nominated for that award program (or even worse–if I actually won one), I’d have to spend the rest of my blogging life with my head hung down in shame.
And so would you.
Walk away, people. Just WALK AWAY.
lol…I didn’t check out the entire just say hi website, too funny. I did delete the code for the link below the image — now I forget what that was a link to, but I didn’t want it on my blog.
I wish they would just be honest and name it the Christian Homeschool Blog Awards. Or the Fundamentalist HBA. (I guess I do say I’m a Christian, so I don’t want to be associated with the fundies.)
I got a G rating. I don’t swear on my blog, but I talk like a sailor in real life.
I got a PG rating. Because I said the word breast. I guess I don’t get an award and I’m going to hell.
See that, Frankie? We’re the opposite. I blog like a sailor, but around the house, I’m pretty much G-rated.
Summer, my PG rating came as a result of the words “crap” and “pain”. Crap, I can see, but pain? Like we can’t ever mention PAIN?
Well I have not tried this rating thing yet. But I would probably be G rated seems as my mum reads my blog and all. I try not to be too obnoxious. He He.
I must go and check it out.
I did the rated thingy a few months ago and got “G” Rated. I had no idea of this homeschool award and don’t care. I hope I don’t offend you as I did someone else here while back and if I do I’m sorry. So here it goes. Yes, I’m a Christian, but I’m not judgmental like a lot of them. I have friends from all different worlds and I do not judge them for how they think or live. Some Christains do Piss Me Off! Because they try to act like they are better than everybody and act like their back door is clean. Well, Jesus hung out with the sinner. I think that some people that call their self Christain give other Christians a bad name and I wouldn’t want any part of that crowd.
I hope I didn’t offend you because it would really hurt my feelings because I have enjoyed getting to know you and like having you as my friend.
My blog got an R rating because I said the word ‘m*th’ twice in a post about my state.
I also used the word that begins with ‘As’. Add another ‘s,’ then ‘ho’, and then complete it with ‘le.’
I thought maybe I shouldn’t leave the whole words in your comment section, wouldn’t want to affect your rating, you know.
I copied the picture of the R rating and just added the pic to my blog.
I probably won’t leave it there long, wouldn’t want to shock my mother.
kitten dear,
Please don’t worry about this. I wasn’t talking about you, dear. You are simply not capable of being anything like those assholes (that was for you, Ami) who run that meaningless contest. You are more Christian than any of them could ever hope to be. And I’m glad you visit and comment here.
I’d type more, but the kids are fighting and I need to separate them before they knock a wall down or something. (sigh)
I checked by rating out, just for giggles, ya know. I got a P.G. rating because I used the following P.G. rated words in my blog…LIMBS, SLAP and SHOOT.
What a crock.
I ended up G rated. How did I manage that, when I am married to a Sailor. I need to come up with lot’s of fun new words for my blog… We Must… We Must… We must improve our bust…(woops, rating)
I got a ‘G’ rating. No surprise there, as I’m the most repressed blogger I know. What kind of moron gives their *grandma* the blog address?! Yup, that’d be me. I still say I need a secret blog.
Did that realtor call?
Yep. He called. And we went to see some houses and then yesterday we put an offer down on one. And now we’re sitting around waiting for him to call…AGAIN. Urgh.
I got a G too, which doesn’t surprise me at all, but I’m soo not proud. That is not something I’ll be posting on my blog. Hanging my head in shame.
Ah, Holly… my heart goes out to you.
This is all fascinating! Really enjoying reading this one. Would I want to be a member of any club that would have me as a member? Not me!
Oooh. I *so* enjoy waiting. We’re on the other end, right now. Good luck!
