Spike TV Video Game Award Winners

Posted by Zonk on from the at-least-there-was-some-jack-black dept.

Gamespot reports on the results from Friday's Spike TV Video Game Awards. Top Game honor went to RE4, while King Kong and World of Warcraft both took home several category nods. From the article: "As much as Spike might have refined the show over its past pair of efforts, it was clear the network had not yet found a way to perfectly merge the subject matter, the celebrities, and the audience. Nowhere was evidence of this more pronounced than in the significant number of audience members heading for the exits right after Missy Elliott's climactic performance, having seen all they came for and not caring to find out who was going to take home the Game of the Year award. Winners for Best Gaming Publication, Best Gaming Website, and Best Gaming Blog were not announced at the show. "

  2. White Men by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    White men are in the minority. There is no majority now. I'm not sure when the last time that white men actually comprised more than fifty percent of the population of any major country was. Did they ever?

    White people were only ever a majority when women and men were in the same group. Nowdays, white men are actually a pretty small group. Many states don't even approach a white majority. Try being an ordinary white man in Maryland.

    Most of the people with a lot of money are still white men, but the other white men are being punished for that pretty inappropriately. They're told "You cannot have an identity because other people who were white and male have been bad. If you *must* have an identity, you are only allowed to be a fattish, smelly and insensitive pig who is slowly learning to live in a world of vastly superior and yet underpaid 'minorities.' In exchange for humbling yourself this way, you may ogle fake breasts even after marriage."

    This lack of identity is creating major problems for white men, who no longer know how to behave because society expects nothing positive of them. Fifty years of television have given them mostly bumbling, incompetent dads as role models. This trend runs from Danny Thomas through Dick Van Dyke and right up to the insipid David Schwimmer as "the one who forgot entirely about his first child so the series could jump the shark later."

    White men in our society are essentially overgrown children. It's very sad. Spike TV only facilitates this.
