When Wizbang’s Kevin Aylward started this feature to highlight the worst posts of the blogosphere, he clearly had no idea how much lousy material is out there. Apparently, there is no licensing requirement to start a weblog. There should be.
Anyway, Kevin was finally driven to the brink of madness by having to read all this dreck so he has parceled the task out with the hope that, like radiation, small doses won’t be fatal. This week, I’m testing this theory out at OTB.
WARNING: I read these entries one at a time as they came in. I can not be held responsible for the results of reading them all in one sitting. You have been warned.
In order of submission:
Helen, aka Goldie, aka Drama Queen lamely urges you to vote for her in the next lame round of the lame blogmadness tournament. Even though she lost in the previous round.
Andrew Ian Dodge of dodgeblogium continues to prattle on about some German cannibal, adding a weak joke at the end. Plus, to add to the international flair, some fellow from the UK corrects his grammar.
The Gleeful Extremist tells us about how after watching “Finding Nemo,” he bought some shrimp for his aquarium. It goes on for several paragraphs. None of which explain why he was watching “Finding Nemo.” Or the proper way to batter and deep fry a shrimp.
Owen at Boots and Sabers jokes about a news report that pirates are killing sailors. Sadly, the joke did not involve Howard Dean’s Iowa speech.
Josh Cohen of d-42 spends several paragraphs telling us why boobs and nipples are no big deal.
The anonymous blogger behind Musings from Brian J. Noggle uses a weird news story about yahoos engaging in gunplay over the dorky game of Taboo to brag about his skills at the dorky game Taboo.

Nice post mate. You managed to be snide without being nasty...something that many bloggers can't manage too well.
