The chemical toilet of a year that is 2020 approaches a third season of the year, where Coronavirus is still making life a misery and killing people, and the worst of people continues to shine through, especially in this batch of undesirables aka the nominations for August 2020 Jerk of the Month.
This year has been all about bringing out the best and worst in people, whilst we’d love to do the positive it doesn’t rate as highly as the unpolishable turds that make up the August 2020 Jerk of the Month nominations.
Some nominations are obvious and regular and continue to demand votes in our monthly Jerk poll. Others are new arrivals who have overachieved in the world of jerkdom this month.
But even we are getting bored with the same old Coronavirus names. To show how the world has changed, Nick Kyrgios has become a voice of reason and moral compass. 2020 is strange indeed.
Footy finals are coming and European football is coming back, as well as the US Open tennis, so hopefully a fresh serve of sporting jerks is just around the corner.
But this month’s jerks still need your vote now, and don’t feel bad about giving them your vote. They asked for it. And there’s no controversy about how you vote here. Just tick a box and have your voice heard.
And as ever, Vote early, vote often.

August 2020 Jerk of the Month Nomination Form Guide
You may notice the Jerk Rating with each nomination, an explanation of the D, I and C is available at the end.
JERK – CORONAVIRUS aka COVID-19
Pandemic with menace
Why have they been such a jerk this month?
Every month we nominate this crippling worldwide menace, and every month we hope to remove it the next month.
Given that most of the below nominations are here because of something Coronavirus related, it has the lead the list.
JERK RATING 1000%
D – 100/10 I – 100/10 C – 100/10
JERK – DONALD J TRUMP
POS-US and you can guess what the J stands for.
Why have they been such a jerk this month?
Like Coronavirus, a Trump can be caught by inhaling someone’s spit/spray within 1.5 metres, so when reading through the Jerk of the Month form guide you need to wear a mask. Unlike him.
It is hard to keep up with the specific reasons for being nominated again for Jerk of the Month. But since he likes to stretch the truth a little and a lot, and tell some of the biggest porkies in political history, we’re going down the fake news avenue to list the reasons for his August
- Advised that Stone’s Green Ginger Wine will cure Coronavirus, Cancer and Dementia.
- Provided the inspiration Spin Doctors hit Two Princes back in the day.
- Was caught not raking the bunker after consecutive golf shots.
- Was actually one of the real Milli Vanilli singers.
- Bought a Brisbane NRL jersey and is the real reason that the Broncos are shit this year.
- Wanted to rename Washington DC into FuckEverybodyElse, USA
- Is one of the current Masked Singers on TV in Australia

JERK – LOOTERS IN PROTESTS
People trashing and stealing stuff
Why have they been such a jerk this month?
People can protest, and rightly so with all that is going on in the USA and the World, but looters are jerks pure and simple.
Not only are they trashing and stealing from businesses who in most cases don’t deserve it, but their behaviour is playing into the hands of Donald Trump.
Trump is scarily looking more and more likely to win the presidential race with each glimpse of looting shown across TV.

D – 10/10 I – 10/10 C – 10/10
JERK – PETE EVANS
Used to cook with fruit as TV chef now just a full time fruit.
Why have they been such a jerk this month?
Coronavirus has provided a lot of people a lot of airtime and sadly most of the views should be circulated to the people’s own arseholes.
Pete Evans is no exception, and he is also exceptionable with the vast amount of crap he goes on with.
And he’s been at it again this month.
We may be singling him out a little, but he is such a jerk.
JERK RATING 100%
D – 10/10 I – 10/10 C – 10/10
JERK – ANTI-MASKERS
People who don’t like wearing masks, or saving others.
Why have they been such a jerk this month?
Following on from Pete Evans are the vocal anti-maskers using every law and excuse not to do the right thing.
Like nudists, everyone has a right to believe and do whatever they want, but not everyone wants to see it out in the public. Unless it is Greg Norman of course.
But all the conspiracy theories, Facebook posts, Sunrise appearances from the Scenic Rim, talkback radio, Sky News Australia are getting as boring and drawn out as the pandemic itself.
Please refer later to these people in the anti-vaxxer category when a vaccine comes.

MAGPIES
Flying jerks
Why have they been such a jerk this month?
Magpie swooping season again, and once again these birds become the jerks of the sky.
Other than they are an admirable Australian animal who adorn a lot of fine sporting teams’ jerseys across Australia.
And a bad one.
JERK RATING 10%
D – 1/10 I – 1/10 C – 1/10
JERK – CLIVE PALMER
Former politician, mining big shot, and owner of a Gold Coast football team.
Why have they been such a jerk this month?
Remember Clive Palmer, former member for somewhere on the Sunshine Coast? Well sadly like a lot of people you want to hear less from, you are currently hearing from the way more than usual.
Much like social media influencers, more than usual isn’t zero, which is where it should be.
His best work is a legal war with Western Australia that is threatening to send the state bankrupt.
More sandwiches for Clive then.

Jerk Rating system
A new feature for 2020 is the enhanced Jerk rating to go along with the Jerk of the Month form guide each month.
Previously it was just a flat /10 mark, but we think there’s more layers than that. What needs to be considered is how big the jerk act was in the current month compared to their usual way of life. How important the person is, i.e. a person who should know/do better or just a random person who couldn’t help themselves. Finally, how consistently a jerk they are. The more they are, the more they deserve your vote in general.
D – Dastardly – For instance, a random footballer king hitting a referee is pretty bad, where yet another tantrum from a Tomic type person would be lower.
I – Importance – Was the jerk act at a big event, captured the world’s attention, or made by someone in a position who should know plenty better.
C – Consistency – Is the person a Jerk all the time, and with each new month’s nomination grows into your vote.
