Apparently, Al Gore was given an award at the annual geekfest Webby Awards June 6. Says Yahoo news: “Gore, who was pilloried during the 2000 presidential campaign for appearing to imply that he had created the Internet, won a lifetime achievement award for providing crucial political support to the technical development of the World Wide Web.”
Honorees were limited to five-word acceptance speeches — a brilliant idea, if you ask me.
So Gore said: “Please don’t recount this vote.”
Ahhhhh, Al. You are *so* good when you’re just having fun.
Other notable acceptance spee… er, statements:
- Politics good. Sex better … much.
- Look at my hair man
- Eat your heart out Orbitz (flightmaker.com, winner in the travel category)
- Live the American dream. Rent. (apartments.com)
- Emerald nuts … give me diarrhoea (SoBe)
