iOTW has announced its Second Annual PUK Awards.

iOTW wrote:The PUK award is given to the best conservative graphic image of the year, nominated by the readers of iOTW. In the comments of this post paste the url to an image that you feel best represents the right sticking it to the left. (Please, do your best to nominate images from 2010.) If there are multiple images on the page, please leave a short description of the image you're nominating.

iOTW images are eligible, but this is open to the entire blogosphere. Try to nominate images that have credits on them. We will disqualify any image that cannot be tracked back to an author or a website. You may nominate your own imagery and your own blog imagery.

As always, volunteer compliance is mandatory. Everyone is invited to post their suggestion on iOTW - https://iowntheworld.com/blog/?p=47654


As for this thread, please post your favorite images that have appeared on The People's Cube only, by any author. You can also cross-post the links on iOTW.

Our collection will be eventually submitted to iOTW, but it would be nice to have our own contest here as well, with the best image of the year chosen by voting in the end of December. The voting feature will be enabled once the thread gets populated.

If you remember a certain image but can't find it, post its description and the Propaganda Commissar on duty will insert it later.

My personal top five:

I nominate this:



and this:







--KOOK

And I also nominate what is perhaps the most important best-image:

--KOOK

The image of the "Salvation Army marching band" at the top of the page is quite striking.

I think we could save a lot of time and just post a link to S.K. Maksim's album :)

I posted a few from Red Square at IOTW's contest. So get over there and vote for them. Scroll way down to about comment #74 or so. I would have posted them here also but I'm doing this from my cell phone and it would be a huge pain in the ass.

My favorite.

This is my favorite one that I did.

"Joe Biden, For reasons unkown is kept from the public eye"

Comrades,

Where in the Bellview is this place?

CORRECT! Who besides the Peoples Director even comes close? I still secretly denounce Maksim under my breath for not sharing his skills with the collective......

just sayin...

My offerings to the effort....

My favorite one of the year!

Can any one tell what is truly going on in this current Regiem? The one thing we can be assured of is "Barak - the one termer!" ALL HAIL! Would love your comments.

herrond........ Our " Dear Leader" is simply a hand-picked socialist ideologue from Chicago
who requires a teleprompter to sound good. As for the rest in this regime, greed and power seem to be the prime motivators......and add a big load of pride in that they believe they are the intellectual elite class, dispensing politically correct answers to society's problems. Sure seems to be working so far , right ?

How can you select one above the others? I think all are equally stimulating, although some may be more stimulating than others. All submissions should be awarded extra rations of vodka! I am a true fan of the collective and salute all gifted artistic contibutions. They have provided my dependant unit and I with hours of teachable moments. Happy Holidays Peoples Cube from the proles in S. Jersey!

Ahrrrrmmmm... I am picking these just to demonstrate to proles what NOT to do, Everyone knows that these should be Rethuglikan cigarettes and Konservatives magazine, because everyone knows that tribes, like the ones Comrade Marx studied, smoked first and neanderthals belonged to the first clans, which are simular to collectives of today. Wait a second... scratch that.... Ahrrrrrmmmm... what I meant to say was THIS WILL NOT DO PROLES, BECAUSE PARTY SAYS SO! Da?

Comrades, all the aforementioned images and many more are all most equal. Attempting to assign superiority to any one of them is counter-revolutionary and I won't hear of it.

(fingers in ears) La La La La La La La....

UPDATE: https://iowntheworld.com/blog/?p=49054

According to Big Fur Hat, the Cube is a finalist so far. It's all up to da judge now. And he sent us this intermediary award, wrapped in a recyclable pink ribbon:

The PUK awards are over. The winner has been announced here. We are among the 10 finalists with Helen Thomas on the cover of Formaldehyde magazine.

Comrade Square,

Congrats for your fertile red imagery and cleverness! Invite some relatives over, get drugs, get nasty, get out and destroy stuff!

Congrats Red Square!

Superkommissar Maksim -

If anyone deserved to be in Top 10, it's you. We'll have to conduct a thorough investigation followed by purges and show trials. The revolutionary justice will be fair and swift.

Comrades,

What is pictured is an variation of the "scottish maiden", which had a flat blade. That was very successful because a 75 pound weight was placed on the blade prior to release.

I must admit I was disappointed that none of my work made it to the top ten, especially after receiving so many votes from the people and having five of my images make it to the finals. I had to bite my tongue because nobody likes a sore loser. Although now that some time has gone by I feel a bit of revenge is appropriate, so today I took a shot (all in good fun) at the judge with this addition to my website.

Welcome to the club, Maksim. Or should I say welcome to the Party?

Actually comrades I am seeing red over this! NOT ONE OF MY IMAGES MADE THE FINALS!!!! Of course none of them were entered and there's only three... but that's beside the point!

The Party™ will be seeking revolutionary justice for this lack of acknowledgment to fulfill specie quota's (ahem.. NOT ONE ROOSTER WAS NOMINATED!!!) and color quota's (NOT ONE OF THE NOMINEE's WERE RED!!!). The PUK's and their PUK'n judges will pay dearly!

All one has to do to realize the acumen and astounding intellectual capacity of the highly educated Cornell establishment is read this glorious article and it's responses from the Cornell Review: https://cornellinsider.com/2010/12/06/r ... ill-anger/

I WANT MY PUK'n AWARD NOW YOU CORNELL RACISSSSTTTTTS!!!!!!

For crying out loud, comrades. Here you are all multiple winners of Pinkie's prestigious Beet of the Week Award, and yet you're collectively whining because you didn't get the PUK! Why should you care about that when you have Beet of the Week? What glory could be greater than Beet of the Week?

It might interest you to know the PUK winner has never even won Beet of the Week! Surely you can take no small measure of comfort from that?

Now, are you all just going to sit there blubbering and bawling and threatening to loot a strip mall, as if you've been standing in line all day only to find out you're being turned away because they ran out of forms to get free Obama money from Obama's stash? Or are you going to hunt down this so-called winner and everyone associated with the PUK award, and tell them that you don't care about their dumb old award anyway because YOU already have Beet of the Week and they don't so nyeah-nyeah bleah?

Do the latter, and then we'll not only go out and do some looting, but maybe we'll tip over some cars and torch them.

Thank you, Pinkie, for bringing order and sanity to the demoralized collective with what I'd like to call the lonely voice of reason in the wilderness.

Wow! Nothing like a solid shovel whack from Pinkie to clear my PUK'd up head.

Also cross-posted on The 2010 Shovel Whackee of the Year thread.

Comrades, I have a saying: Just because you're a loser, doesn't mean you have to act like one.

Having said that, I will say next that I'm very amused indeed by Red Square's newest graphic. When life hands him a big bag of mashed up crap, he makes vodka with it, and for that he gets this:


While his mother gets this:

Pinkie - (snif-snif) it's the only award I'll ever need! All the other awards can go PUK themselves.

Ahem....

Oh, my god. Oh, my god. I'm sorry. This moment is so much bigger than me. This moment is for every nameless, faceless, talentless prole that is now entitled to the same treatment because this door tonight has been opened. Thank you. I'm so entitled. And I thank Pinkie for choosing me to be the vessel from which O's blessing might flow. Thank you.

I want to thank the Party that vigilantly watched my every move and waited, with a baited breath, for me to stumble. And that gave me strength to go on, because I knew that if I were to stumble, I'd never get up again. Because the Party loves you when you're up, and it beats the beets out of you when you're down.

I want to thank my KGB handler who's given me detailed instructions every single day, to be who I needed to be and what my dreams and aspirations should be. I have nothing but Party-approved proper feelings for you, my KGB handler, who also happens to be my spousal unit. Thank you for allowing me to go places that at other times I wasn't allowed to go.

I want to thank the People's Cube collective for covering up for me. Thank you Comrade Whoopie for being Pinkie's whacking boy and letting me save my face (literally) when a shovel-whacking was in order. Okay, wait a minute. I got to take... five years here!! Ok. I got to take this time! I got to thank... What's up with this big hook and why is it dragging me from the stage? I still have to thank Oprah Winfrey for being the best role model any agitation and propaganda specialist can have. Barack Obama, thank you. And thank you to Hillary Clinton, Saul Alinsky, Antonio Gramsci, Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Cock-A Doodle-Doooooooooooo....

What a party!! Now can we go flip and torch those cars?!? Huh? Huh? Can we????

I've got extra blow torches! And ski masks! Plenty of ski masks!

And did I mention blow torches? And I promise this time I won't mention anything to the cops about Pinkie's night of debauchery in Darfur....

What an incredible acceptance speech from Red Square. I felt tingles in my limbs. It's almost worthy of another BOTW, except I like to keep them limited to one per thread.

Rooster, until I clicked on the link, I thought that was a picture of me torching you.

I concur Pinkie, all these radio and podcast interviews have made our esteemed Director quite glib. And Red Square, I regret I have but one head to offer Pinkie on your behalf. Hopefully I will win her coveted Shovel Whackee of the Year Award as consolation for all the well earned lumps I've received.

WOW! I clicked on that link that RR provided and I AM BLOWN AWAY! Thandie Lewis--whoever she is...but it says that she's a star, so that makes her important--torching a Barbie to protest the crisis in Darfur? Matt Damon smashing a doll house?! Oh man, I am so pumped! THAT will strike fear into the hearts of...whoever the badguys in Darfur are! Matt Damon is throwing a toy-bashing fit! Watch out, Darfur Badguys! (I bet the bad guys in Darfur are like Christian Capitalist Corporate Weasels! Oh man...THAT would make such a bitchin' plotline for like "Law and Order!" Talk about daring and edgy!)

Superman is trying to deny who he is-- a sad day for America and hence great news for The Soon-To-Arrive Global Collective, but there is even better news, Comrades. We have our own Super-Being to chamption the Causes of The Peoples Cube:







--KOOK Just trying to save a place among the countless images to be included for 2011.

Comrade Red Square you are deserving of this award. Nowto commemorate this occasion I will give you the FSBs only known phototaken of you when you were serving among the troops during the 1993Moscow White House siege. Look at the soldier on the far left (No pun intended).Uncanny no?
