Along the lines of the "Top 10 Conservative Idiots" only for the MSM.

Call 'em "Goalposts" or some such when a "urinalist" say's or writes something so totally obvious that it makes you go "hey- YA THINK?!?!?!?"

Newbies, lurkers and trolls might frequently ask- "What's an 'H' Award?" and of course the reply might be- "That's no ordinary 'H', that's a big ol' DU'H'"...

hey- if they don't get it- they belong at FreeRepuknik.com...

If you like this idea please K & Rec this post! :hi:

1. H always reminds me of that horrible Local H song "Just don't get it"
Born to be down
Learned all my lessons before now
Born to be down
I think you'll get used to it

And you just don't get it you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it you know it's so pathetic

And you don't
And you don't
And you don't
And you don't


(repeat until tired)

2. Well it certainly is a DUH
But it is based on an academic study, and academic studies are sometimes necessary to establish evidence to argue for change.

Not to mention the academic study gives the media a reason to point this out, which they wouldn't do otherwise. I won't complain about it, because we need to hear more of this. We seem to have a serious deficit of people who will state the obvious on these issues.

So in this case I think it is a good DUH.
