NOMINATIONS | July 2021 Jerk of the Month

Time for the July 2021 Jerk of the Month nominations and who’d think that they would come around again with a large chunk of Australia in lockdown.

As a result most of the nominations are related to Covid based jerk-work, but not all. As ever it is a wide mix of politics, people and sports. All with one thing in common, being a jerk in July 2021. And usually for many months and years before that.

Some are well known and regulars in the JOM category, others are just passing through.

Determining the month’s biggest jerk is ultimately up to you, the reader of this website. Yes all five of you or less.

Read the form guide, and vote now, and vote early and vote often. For as many of the candidates who take your fancy, floats your boat, or whose cut of jib you dislike.

VOTE NOW – July 2021 Jerk of the Month

Time to put your official vote in for Jerk of the Month for July 2021.

Feel free to vote for as many of these jerks as you like. They have asked for it, nay demanded it.

And vote multiple times on multiple devices. It looks good for our website numbers too.

FORM GUIDE – July 2021 Jerk of the Month

DELTA STRAIN – CORONAVIRUS

pestis acerba

As if regular Coronavirus wasn’t bad enough. 

Not much good comes from the word delta. Delta strain of Coronavirus which seems hellbent on wrecking everyone’s fun, the latin Delta symbol is by far the least fun character, and worst of all Delta Goodrem.

The Delta strain of Coronavirus is the ultimate party pooper, unleashing another wave of misery around the world who have mostly defeated the initial waves. 

Delta punishes the stupid and lazy, which is a real shame given the large proportion of people that still remain in either or both categories.

And means Covid is likely to push into 2022 rather than disappear before 2021 ends.

SCOMO

desperato scurra Atticus

Let’s face it, it’s all Scomos fault.

UK getting 20,000+ cases of Covid a day, Australia around 200.

UK are going to the races, nightclubs, and stuff and campaigns. Australia have their biggest city in complete lockdown and other capital cities in occasional lockdown in the last month or so.

It’s not as if the Boofhead quotient of either country’s leader is much different.

Australia had next to no cases for so long, and next to no hope with a gigantic clown in charge of vaccine rollout and quarantine.

Thankfully by the time the Federal Government eventually build some new form of quarantine, our rollout for vaccine will be so hopeless we’ll still need the quarantine. Note: attempt at sarcasm.

AUSTRALIAN POLITICIANS

desperato plena ventus lapides sacculi

Let’s face it, Scomo is just a politician, and all politicians are really to blame for the predicament Australia is in.

Most decisions made with their own re-election/election in mind.

But it is easy to blame politicians for everything.

So we will.

POLICE HORSE PUNCHERS

inertia Pugnator

Covid protestors are certainly deserving of a JOM-NOM, but sometimes people just stand out of a crowd/mob and deserve special treatment.

Like the turds who punched Police horses as part of their anti-everything protests.

Just a shame the horses had no chance to bite them back. 

Perhaps as part of the punishment a televised revenge biting on TV live from the Police stables could be entertaining and a just punishment plus deter others from punching animals.

ANTHONY MUNDINE

hominem

Talking of boxers who never quite lived up to the hype, Anthony Mundine earns a jerk of the month nomination.

Instead of leading by example in an area of Sydney that was crying out for some local leadership rather than tutt-tutts from the NSW governments, the former rugby league and boxing participant is fined twice in two weeks for not wearing a mask.

Perhaps he was afraid it would hurt his glass jaw.

COVID PROTESTORS

planus orbis

It’s hard to know where to start with these balloon-heads.

People are entitled to their opinion. Even if their opinion is f—ing stupid and an embarrassment to themselves.

But to go out and march to protest everything from lockdown to complaining about a vaccine that no one is forcing you to take to 5G to fighting over whether Jatz or Ritz is the best cracker for dips and cheese in the middle of one of the worst Covid breakdowns in the country is the most brainless, selfish acts one could imagine.

Almost deserving of a single nomination is the former NRL “stars” and their appalling arrogance. We guess a mixture of NRL player and anti-vaxxer is not a good mix for anything too intellectual.

Thankfully, Scomo has decided that people who don’t get vaccinated don’t get as much freedom down the track if we ever get out of lockdowns. So let’s see how devoted to their cause these people can be when they can’t go overseas or go to a pub.

SOME ENGLISH FOOTBALL “FANS”

stultus thug ebrius est

Let’s start by saying this doesn’t apply to every English football fan, who have probably suffered enough last month following their standard penalty shootout choke in the Euro 2020/1 final.

This is for the selection of oxygen thieves who popped up over the last month through the Euros.

Fan who shone a laser into Kasper Schmeichel’s face before a penalty.

Some English “fans” who stampeded into Wembley for the Euro final. They even robbed their own F1 star Lando Norris.

Some English “fans” who boo taking a knee

Some English “fans” who boo other team’s national anthems.

Some English “fans” who racially abuse their own players.

DONALD TRUMP

lava, accende intus stupam repeat

The rallies have restarted and so have the lies, moans about about elections and usual drivel about stuff.

Much like Delta, just when you thought the virus had gone, it comes back with a more dangerous variant.

Throw in a lawsuit against social media.

It is a race whether the legal teams will get him before he can run again for President.

But for now it is another Jerk of the Month nomination. 

NRL BUBBLE BLOWERS

capitibus cibum

It was always going to be the highest of wishful thinking that the NRL players would comply with Covid lockdowns and bubbles.

But they had a decent crack at it.

The Dragons BBQ that featured most of them and ended with players running from police, hiding in cupboards and under beds.

Jai Arrow putting his name forward for Dancing With The Stars by inviting his dance partner back Origin III.

Api Koroisau doing the same, but throw in doing it for games one and two, and cheating on his wife in the process. 

The recent lockdown has beaten the players to the first shutdown of a day’s rugby league. But how soon until the players stuff up again?

We’ll see you for the August Jerk of the Month nominations.

BALLINA CREW

fuga Idiotae

Fancy being a big enough dickhead to get on a plane from Sydney towards Queensland when you were told not to after being a close contact.

Or being the person who picked them up from Ballina airport then went on tour.

As per usual with these oxygen thieves the lies were flowing until finally caught.

The male in question is a particular jerk after his behaviour in hotel lockdown. Doubling down on his arrogant ignorance.

The fines handed down were not enough, and he shouldn’t be given treatment if he gets worse, then frog marched to the nearest cannon and fired back over the border and told to walk to Sydney.

Once again it takes just one case from one buffoon to affect an entire state. Luckily this isn’t the case yet, that we know about.

And you just get the feeling that the most recent lockdown in Brisbane and SEQ will have these turds as the origin.

REMOVALISTS

movere violationes

The Victorian lockdown was caused by removalists who traveled around without masks and brains and infected households to the south with the Sydney Delta Special.

For plunging an entire state into lockdown, it is Jerk of the Month worthy.

And for no doubt breaking stuff in a few boxes.

ANNASTACIA PALASZCZUK PETITION SIGNEE HYPOCRITES / OLYMPIC OPPONENTS

ridicule brevis hic oculati

Several hundred thousand people signed a petition to stop Annastacia Palaszczuk going to Tokyo 

How petty can you get.

No one complained about the Brisbane Mayor who was also going.

No one complained about the federal sports minister going. Especially not the fellow Liberal aligned Home Affairs minister.

The Olympics is a big deal for Brisbane. Great for reputation and the people of Brisbane.

Those who signed petitions point to how much the games are going to cost and what else you can do with the money. But forget that because the sh!t that needs to be built will be built in Brisbane, it will most likely be done by people who build stuff from Brisbane or Queensland. So all the money initially spent will go to people in Brisbane. Then once it begins the money people spend will go to people in Brisbane. The subsequent positive affect of tourism will go to people who live in Brisbane.

Hopefully not one person who signed the petition goes to any event of the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. Much like the people who call to ban the Melbourne Cup when a horse dies, yet still continue to bet on the next year’s race and more in between, we hope they don’t read, watch, or participate in the 2032 games. 

If not they are loaded hypocrites.

CHANNEL SEVEN OLYMPIC COVERAGE

nandi mora

One always expects mediocrity with Olympic broadcasts and Channel Seven have delivered.

Loads of swimming, with interviews with swimmers taking preference over actual live sport.

Flogging the horses with medal winners.

Poor quality of TV coverage.

Showing a total of 13 throws in the discuss event where Australia were a chance of a medal. 

Dull commentators (except for Bruce and especially the swimming)

Anything that happens After the Olympics.

You do get what you pay for we expect, but still.

ALLEGED RACIST GERMAN CYCLIST COACH

partim odiosa

For calling fellow compeditors in the cycling “Camel Drivers”.

And being a cycling coach.
