The Movembies
Should call these The Crabbies, as this exercise has definitely drawn a crowd that walks sideways.
Some statistics before we get into the categories and potential nominees:
- 186 responses between FB photos and blog comments
- 22% of comments have been supportive (or posted by women I think are cute, so comments like "Knock this annoying s@#$ off, Creep" are filtered through Movembie goggles to come out "Knocks my s@#$ off, Clooney")
- There are only two (count 'em, 2) drinking references. People are either being polite or assuming that calling it out is like saying Rob Ford likes to party now and again
- There were four political references (three of them about ACA)
- Only 1 pubic hair reference (Art Feith)
- There was only one movie reference -- to Return of the Living Dead (thank you, Scott)
- More comments pointed out my lack of testosterone (6) than my advanced age (5) or general aesthetic disappointment (3)
- Mass Murderers were a popular reference point (Charles Manson; The Unabomber; Stalin; Fidel Castro; The Joker)
- The really offensive comments have come from women:
- Lori Quann ("I log on...and THIS is what I see?!?")
- Mary Kornick ("...made me jump")
- Kim Mastromarino (implied that I only own one t-shirt)
- Steve Gibson (who assumed that I lost my job, wife and heterosexuality all in the same sentence)
