**THE 2019 BEE-OTCH OF THE YEAR**
-For twenty years now, we've been handing out the Bee-otch of the Year to those who really, really deserve it. You know, the world's assholes.
Over the years, we've handed the honors to the likes of George W. Bush, Matt Hanlon and other pricks who did nothing but make people's lives miserable.
You know the drill: Monday through Thursday, we post the Bee-otch of the Day. On Sunday, we hand out the Bee-otch of the Week on our socials (the links are below) and every month, the Bee-otches of the Week are the nominees for the Bee-otch of the Month.
Since somebody was Bee-otch of the Month twice, we have eleven nominees this year. Now, we archive our past Bee-otches of the Day here on our Blogspot page. We base everything out of pageviews for each Bee-otch of the Day.
So, without further adieu....
11) OCTOBER: ELLEN DEGENERES
The beloved comedienne and daytime talk show queen raised eyebrows when she talked about unity on her program. This was after she received flak from her fellow members in the LGBTQ+ community over footage of her seen in a Dallas Cowboys skybox with former president George W. Bush. On her show, she proclaimed that people need to overlook political boundaries and focus on the good things in life. However, many - like myself - were infuriated since Bush ignored the warning signs of 9/11 and threw us into three fake wars in the process, killing over 7,000 innocent Americans and having our men and women in the Armed Forces come home with uncontrollable PTSD. And yet, she and Dubya get to relax in a luxury suite no average American can afford in a stadium named for a big, evil company. As George Carlin once said, "it's one big club, and you're not in it!"
10) JULY: SCOTT ADAMS
Adams, the creator of the long-running comic strip Dilbert made headlines this year when he used social media to try to take money from the victims of the mass shooting in Gilroy, CA. He took to Twitter to tell the victims to download WhenHub, an app that allows people to talk to experts for a fee. The problem? Adams gets a cut since he's a part owner of the app. Adams is a Drumpf supporter, so he probably wants a lot of shootings.
9) DECEMBER: LANGER GOKEY
Gokey is the long-time owner of several radio stations in northern Michigan, including geezer rock WKLT 97.5/98.9, 94.3/92.5 The Fox (which seems to be more of a Hot AC gold format these days) and ESPN 106.7/105.5. He's owned WKLT since 1984 and under his aegis, he turned it into a shitty station that nobody born after 1964 wants to listen to. He even bought popular CHR outlet 106.7 The Peak in the 1990s for $3 million and ran it into the ground with several horrid format switches. Now that station's off the air with management claiming financial problems. Serves them right, considering the scandals that wrecked that legendary 100,000-watt frequency. Now comes word that 97.5 WKLT is being sold to Midwestern Broadcasting (WTCM/WCCW/Z93) for a putrid $450,000. 98.9, however is not included in the sale because of Midwestern's ownership caps and might be spun off to a religious group. 94.3 Traverse City is being sold to Central Michigan University, though 92.5 Atlanta is not because they already own 91.7 in Alpena. With Black Diamond allegedly being the sole radio broadcaster in northern Michigan doing well, it makes me happy that I never got into the business.
8) SEPTEMBER: NBC
Now, this year's SNL has been doing quite well, especially with Eddie Murphy's beyond-hilarious hosting gig last weekend. The only person who seemed to hate it was Bill Cosby, who compared him to Stepin Fetchit. Of course, with him behind bars, he's got no room to talk. NBC got some mixed attention when they announced that comedian Shane Gillis, who was chosen to be a new cast member this season was fired because of racist comments he made on a podcast. Of course, SNL is a show that in the past allowed an Armenian guy (John Belushi) to play a Samurai, a Jewish guy (Adam Sandler) to play Cosby and yes, a white guy (Darrell Hammond) to play black preacher Jesse Jackson. I know, times have changed and SNL's cast is more diverse than ever. But, still...
7) NOVEMBER: KANYE WEST
Over a decade ago, Ye was a one of the best rappers out there. He stood up for his fans - especially while trashing George W. Bush during a telethon for Hurricane Katrina victims, proclaiming that he "doesn't care about black people" - and made awesome songs like "Flashing Lights" and "Gold Digger". Then came the moment he yanked the mic from Taylor Swift's hands. Let's not forget the fact that he married a woman who never worked a day in her life, also. Now, he's a Jebus freak who released a shitty Gospel Rap album that thankfully got outsold by Tool's new album its first week. And the fact that he appeared at Joel Osteen's fake megachurch in Houston is purely pathetic. Nothing like people profiting off of the man upstairs when there's people struggling to pay their bills.
6) MAY: PUREFLIX
Earlier this year, the faith-based movie studio released "Unplanned", a film based on Planned Parenthood whistleblower Abby Johnson. The movie was designed to scare people into thinking that PP's mission is to kill children for profit and even showed footage of abortions as they happen. One million of the movie's six million dollar budget came from crackhead-turned-pillow entrepreneur Mike Lindell. The same asshole who decided to buy up all of Laura Ingraham's ad time after advertisers dumped her show because of her disgusting remarks regarding the Parkland School shooting massacre. The moral of the story is that evangelicals will do anything to protect a bunch of cells. But when a baby is pooped out of a woman's body, it sucks to be them.
5) AUGUST: KID ROCK
Like Kanye, Kid Rock *used* to be a great singer and personality. To me, his Jump The Shark song was "All Summer Long", which reminds me of all the times people partied in northern Michigan and I either 1) wasn't invited or 2) treated like a gofer, running out into the pouring rain to get some loser's cigarettes. In recent years, KR's been a total douchebag, and this year had been no exception. In August, he made a vicious tweet against Taylor Swift, saying that she would suck dick for acting gigs. A few months later, he did the same thing with Oprah while he was severely intoxicated, butchering "Proud Mary" at his bar in Nashville. He can go ahead with his happy little Country tunes and asskissing of Drumpf, since there's now other artists who do better music than him.
4) JUNE: JOHN KRICFALUSI
Earlier this year, somebody uploaded a video onto YouTube and it quickly became one of the worst animated cartoons in history. "Cans Without Labels" was a pet project of John Kricfalusi, the creator of the legendary 1990s cartoon show Ren and Stimpy. The cartoon received funding on Kickstarter from 3,500 backers, who gave John K. over $136,000 to animate the ten minute short. Seven years after it was announced, the end result was revealed, as seen above. YouTubers were quick to badmouth the 'toon for its poor use of 3D imagery and unfunny and cringe-worthy storyline. The reviews were so bad that John K. himself pressured YouTube to delete the video ASAP. Recently, John finally uploaded his own copy onto YouTube, disabling comments. Several, including former John K. associate Bill Wray took to social media and talked about the fact that John's career is beyond tarnished at this point. When the MeToo movement was in full swing, it was revealed that in the 1990s at the peak of R&S's success, he had sexual relationships with two 16-year-old girls who would later become his animators. One of the girls even admitted to having an abortion and ended up leaving the animation business with PTSD. Kricfalusi apologized, claiming that his battles with ADHD and being fired from Nickelodeon had an effect on his well-being. Yes, even the creators of our childhood aren't safe from the MeToo movement.
3)APRIL: JOHN GRAY
One of the worst problems with organized religion is of course, greed. There's too many wealthy preachers who live in mega mansions and fly around in jet planes because as one televangelist once put it, "the devil rides in coach!" Oh, please. Well, John Gray made headlines late last year when he gave his wife a $200,000 Lamborghini Urus SUV for their wedding anniversary. Because of the controversy, he pointed out that he earned the money from his various incomes, including a show on the Oprah Winfrey Network. Well, in April, Gray announced to his flock that due to his church's roof leaking, he needed virtually that same amount of money to patch up the roof. And why does your wife need a Lambo? Sorry, but the last time I heard, Jesus was all about curing the sick and feeding the poor, not giving your wife a luxury item the average person cannot afford.
2) MARCH: WASHINGTON POST
Now, I'll give Gretchen Whitmer the benefit of the doubt that she's not pRick Snyder, our water-hating ex-governor of Michigan. However, she got herself a kick in the ass from me because she proposed raising Michigan's gas taxes to help fulfill her promise of fixing the damn roads. Of course, the taxes would fall on the burden of those who drive huge distances to work, especially those who live in rural areas where gas tends to be a little more expensive. Let's not forget those who live in food deserts where the nearest supermarket is over 10 miles away. Sadly, WaPo thought this was a great idea in an editorial they published. Guess who owns that paper? Why, it's Amazon's Jeff Bezos, who doesn't pay any taxes on the $150 billion he has. Ya know, this is what happens when we allow the wealthy to control the media. They tell you that we all need to pay a bigger tax on something the poor and rich both use. The reality is that Michigan now has something that can help fix the damn roads: RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA! It's expected that the taxes generated from pot sales next year could be over $200 million. Now, that'll fix the damn roads!
....AND THE 2019 BEE-OTCH OF THE YEAR IS....
DONALD TRUMP!
There were five articles that got Drump BOTY:
1.8
1.23
2.20
2.26
2.28
As a matter of fact, the one from 1.8 was one of the most-viewed Bee-otch of the Day articles... EVER!
You know, it will be a happy day when he leaves office. I don't care if he's removed or if he's voted out of office. Let's remember that he wasn't the popular candidate in 2016. He's in the White House because of a fucked-up system that reared its ugly head that year. Because of what he's done in office, he might be BOTY for years to come.
And there you have it. See you in 2020!
