ABOUT THE SHIITAKE AWARDS

The annual Shiitake Awards were created in 2008, much in the tradition of the infamous "Razzies," which
showcases the worst of those people who use sex offenders to further their careers or simply to gain their
15 minutes of fame. Nominations for the eight categories occur throughout the year until November 30,
and voting takes place during the month of December. The winners (or losers, depending on how you look
at it) will be announced on an upcoming YouTube video.

To nominate candidates in each of the eight categories, please visit

RULES OF NOMINATING

The only rule to nominating is each nominee must have done something during the 12 month nomination
period from December 1 to November 30, the last day of nominations. If possible, add the news link to the
nominations. You can post nominations directly to the Shiitake Awards Blog or you can email me at
derek@oncefallen.com. Nominations are not limited to the most well known celebrity advocates; at times,
previously unknown candidates from hole-in-the-wall locales have walked away with this "prestigious"
award.
THE EIGHT SHIITAKE AWARDS CATEGORIES

  1. WORST POLITICO: Pandering politicians exploiting RSO laws for votes
  2. WORST NEWS MUTT: For news hounds who exploit RSOs for ratings
  3. HARDEST FALL: Scandals involving those who exploit sex offender laws [NOTE: Nominees need
    only be involved in ANY scandal, not just sex scandals]
  4. EVERYDAY ZEROES: Below-Average Joes who wanted their 15 minutes of fame and shame by
    attacking those listed on public registries, at times making total fools of themselves
  5. DUMBEST QUOTE: You could call it "people say the dumbest things." In this category, it is the
    quote that is nominated. This can give someone a chance to be a double winner in a year
  6. THE "HOLY SHIITAKES!" AWARD: Introduced in 2009, a special award for feats of stupidity we just
    couldn't pigeon-hole into the other seven categories
  7. STUPID LEGAL TRICKS AWARD: Otherwise known as the "Dumbest New Law of the Year"
  8. THE ICBS NATIONAL CHUMP-IONSHIP: The dumbest state of the year. Ask yourself, "From which
    state did "I" "C" the most "BS" this year?
THE 2008 SHIITAKE AWARDS

The Awards show was not on You Tube; it was announced during an episode of ReFORM RADIO. There
were only SEVEN awards at that time. Below were the winners of the 2008 Shiitake Awards:

  • WORST POLITICO 2008: Louisiana Governor Piyush "Bobby" Jindal, who famously wants all
    "dot" registrants in Angola, and castrated. Personally, I suggest mandatory lobotomies for pandering
    politicians.
  • WORST NEWS MUTT 2008: Kevin Fischer of Franklin NOW, a small Minnesota news rag AND
    advisor to State Senator Mary Lazich, for his crazed personal attacks and lack of insight
  • HARDEST FALL 2008: Former Florida Senator Mark Foley, former BOD of the NCMEC, John
    Walsh's right hand man, and infamous for sexting teen congressional pages. Despite the millions of
    news reports, the FBI claimed they "didn't have enough evidence" to indict him. Whatever.
  • EVERYDAY ZEROES 2008: "Angry" Tammy Gibson, Puyallup, WA trailer-living baseball bat-
    wielding thug with a history of assault and drug arrests, for getting 90 days for unprovoked attack.
  • DUMBEST QUOTE 2008: Quote by John Walsh--  "I said I was kidding when I was talking to the
    Senate and I said they were talking about electronic monitoring, which is big and unwieldy for the
    sex offenders, and that some of these guys, no matter what the law in their state was, would have to
    wear one for 20 years or whatever. I said implant it in their anus and if they go outside the radius,
    explode it and that would send a big message. It was a joke. Nobody thought it was funny." Methinks
    his mouth overloaded his own exploding anus.
  • DUMBEST NEW LAW 2008: The Adam Walsh Act. It was signed by George Bush with Shiitake
    Awards winner Mark Foley and John Walsh holding hands. It has destroyed thousands of families in
    Ohio and Oklahoma. And those who wrote the law don't even know HOW it works. The AWA should
    be called the AMTRAK Walsh Act, because it is a train wreck of a law!
  • DUMBEST STATE 2008: Florida. The Julia Tuttle Causeway, confusing residency restrictions, and
    politicians that act like the way their state is shaped.
2009 SHIITAKE AWARDS

Filming is currently underway for the 2009 Shiitake Awards show. We hope to announce the winners by
the end of March.
