Recently, I read about Spike TV debuting yet another awards show. Far be it from the guys at Spike to follow the crowd with your standard categories -- they have picked a pair of nominees in a variety of oddball categories targeted at men. Before we can get to that, I have to ask, do we really need another awards show? More importantly, a Spike TV awards show?
Well, be that as it may, it's here and those who choose to subject themselves to it will just have to deal with their categories. In the announcement there was a partial listing of the categories, which I have felt the need to take a look at. Actually, there was one that caught my eye that I felt the need to comment on, so I figured I would just give a run through of the categories in the announcement.
So, without further delay, here they are:
2007 GUYS CHOICE NOMINEES
Biggest Ass Kicker - Gerard Butler (300) vs. Kiefer Sutherland (Fox's 24)
Sure, Butler killed his fair share of Persians, but in the end he succumbed to the overwhelming numbers of enemy forces. Ass kicker? Definitely, but he could not conquer death. Kiefer, on the other hand has been near death a few times over the six seasons of 24, not to mention the fact that he was in fact killed at one point, and came back; not even death could overcome his superior ass kicking skills. Now, as for neglected ass kickers? How about Katee Sackhoff of Battlestar Galactica? An ass kicking female who could stand toe to toe with this pair. Or how about Sam Jackson and his snake kicking performance in Snakes on a Plane?
Ballsiest Band - Disturbed vs. Lamb of God
This is the category that caught my eye when glancing down the nominees. Lamb of God? Most definitely. Disturbed? Are you kidding? Don't get me wrong, Disturbed can kick some ass, but they aren't in Lamb of God's league. Based on these two nominations it is no contest -- Lamb of God takes this hands down. Now if you want a competition, bring in bands like Arch Enemy, Mastodon, Strapping Young Lad, Amon Amarth, or Unearth and you could have a good battle. This is just a lame selection for a battle.

Why are you commenting on this when every other match-up has you saying "I'm not familiar with either of these" Why even bother when you clearly don't have a clue when it comes to over half the nominations?

So I'm not familiar 3 categories and half of another. I am familiar with 11. Not sure where you got the "more than half" part.
Besides, perhaps there are people who wold be interested and are not aware that they are having these awards. Now they, and you, know and can go and vote to your heart's content, as well as see the other nominees that weren't in the press release. And as I stated it was the Ballsiest band category that got my attention for its odd pairing.

Do we really need a write-up about another awards show? I bet they call you something else around the office behind your back.

I swear, comment box's and forums are becoming a haven for cowards to talk sh*t to people.

you are an idiot. you picked George Clooney over TONY SOPRANO! you pick a lot of these just because you don't know one of the people involved, Nas vs Jay-Z (Nas is the correct choice but you still don't know why), Colbert vs Peterson, Entourage crew vs. Jackass 2 crew, Chuck Liddell vs. Dog (you didn't know ether and just randomly picked one) Bryant vs. Tomlinson (again you don't watch ether sport and have no idea what your saying)Minka Kelly vs. Rashida
Jones (you didn't even pick a winner)Dominic Monaghan vs. Cash Warren (again no pick)
