Al Gore and the Emmy's....

NickPapagiorgio · 09-17-2007, 12:23 AM

Apparently Al Gore won an Emmy? I swear to God do these people just invent categories so they can give an award to Hollywood's favorite politician? Apparently he won an award for Current TV? What the **** is that? And since when did you win an Emmy for making a TV channel? Of course he got a standing ovation.

Give the guy some credit. He's outstanding at fiction.

I can't find his name as a winner on either of these lists:

Although for some poetic justice, South Park won one too:

Creative Achievement in Interactive TV: Current.

That sounds like quite an honor.

2nd edit: wtf, the first list gives the "Creative Achievement in Interactive TV" award to

Quote:

Creative Achievement in Interactive Television: "The Fallen Alternative Reality Game," ABCFamily.com.

Did they give out more than one? Yay, an Emmy scandal!

Al Gore winning an Emmy is like Jethro Tull winning a Grammy (for best Metal Band)

Isn't Gore in the Inventors Hall of Fame?

The McGimpy does most things upside down: eats, sleeps (an average of 23 hours per day), mates, and gives birth. Because of the McGimpy's upside down life, many of the McGimpy's internal organs (liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas) are in different positions from other mammals. McGimpy sometimes lets out a cry or hissing sound. During the rare times the McGimpy goes down to the ground (such as to change trees for food), it moves very slowly.
