The 2008 Stinque Awards for Achievement in Infamy are dedicated to Muntader al-Zaidi for Throwing Truth to Power. In honor of Mr. al-Zaidi’s world-historical service to the vituperative arts, this year’s award is a handsome Crystal Shoe created exclusively for Stinque by 24-Hour Novelties & Box Wine SuperStore of Tarzana, California.
Our categories were proposed by Stinque readers during an exhaustive nationwide search, and finalized upon receipt and tally of favors financial and carnal. Nominees may be proposed in the comments; winners will be announced next Monday during a gala ceremony broadcast live from atop the Stinque Executive Washroom.
