the supreme moment in whiteness award

supreme.pngI've been meaning to create this award for a while, but I was finally motivated to do so by comedienne Aisha Tyler. (She's scary-brainy, clicker-freezingly gorgeous, and hilarious? Gotta be gay.) The topic was American Idol, specifically the monomorphological stylings of Randy "Dawg! Dawg? Daaaaaaawg." Jackson. Of him, the black Ms. Tyler groaned, "Every time he opens his mouth to speak, black people everywhere just cringe."

I know the feeling. Dawg.

And thus is the Supreme Moments in Whiteness award finally rolled out, to commemorate those all-too-frequent occasions when a transcendentally clueless white person makes me want to take a rusty potato peeler to my own skin. I think it's only fitting and proper that Tom Cruise's booty-clenchin' stint on BET receive the first award and be immortalized on the icon.
