With all the excitement of footy finals, and more specifically the PNG Hunters finals, we almost forgot to run our monthly Jerk of the Month poll for September 2017.
We almost let it go, feeling so good about the Hunters premiership win, but September’s group of nominations demanded that the poll be run and won so they could be fully rewarded with a Jerk of the Month award. And a foot in the door for Jerk of the Year.
So once again here is our nomination list for Jerk of the Month for September, the voting is available below or somewhere else around the website.
Vote early – vote often.
DONALD TRUMP
Not content with winning the February vote and being nominated a few more times since for the monthly award, The US President has demanded inclusion in our Jerk of the Month poll for September.
Running a country and bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war in 140 characters is a fine achievement.
His recent picking a fight with NFL and NBA stars shows just how low it has gone, for now.
One can only wonder at the damage he’ll do when Twitter goes to 280 characters.
KIM JONG-UN
It would be unfair if you nominated Donald Trump for Jerk of the Month without doing the same for the North Korean leader.
Although his love for Basketball, and surprisingly Dennis Rodman, makes him slightly more likable than Trump.
Hopefully the world can sort it out soon, otherwise there might not be enough months left to crown the 2017 overall Jerk winner.
BARRY HALL
For his wild blindside punch in a local footy Grand Final. Proving the grade of the footy is no barry-er to his thuggery.
What a grape. What a Jerk.
COCAINE CASSIE
For the pathetic interview with 60 Minutes, and her weak as piss excuse for not being able to provide evidence to save her.
Enjoy Columbia and a second Jerk of the Month nomination.
60 MINUTES
For probably paying for the above Cassie rubbish to qualify for September Jerk of the Month. And a deserving nomination in general for years of garbage.
Kidnapping, Alex McKinnon story, anything involving Karl Stefanovic.
SAM NEWMAN
Talking of garbage on Channel Nein, nominated for September 2017 Jerk of the Month is the ever controversial Sam Newman.
The AFL Footy Show’s ratings were flagging a few months back, so it went off air temporarily and returned with Eddie Maguire and a new licence of Jerk for Sam Newman.
Has been in fine form since with loads of Jerk work.
TONY ABBOTT
Possibly the worst thing about the Same Sex Plebiscite has been the increase of news revolving around Tony Abbott.
Not content with continually undermining his party, he has providing plenty of opinions on the nation’s biggest topic.
He was headbutted in Hobart, and maybe he didn’t deserve it just for the same sex plebiscite work, but for everything.
BEN McCORMACK
The former ACA reporter is nominated for being two vile things – allegedly a proud paedophile and even worse a reporter from A Current Affair.
Enjoying the moral compass being turned on one of their own, after decades of doing the same to many shinky tradespeople, bad neighbours and Aldi.
Why A Current Affair is still relevant and Channel Nein think it is enough of a flagship program to delay State of origin coverage by 30 minutes is one of those mysteries we’ll never be able to answer.
KARDASHIANS
Soon to celebrate 10 years of a reality empire born on a Sex Tape.
Providing a wonderful example to the world, and we hope the latest spin off to include Grandchildren is not the last.
