As you’ve probably noticed the fugaze of the month column has not been updated for December yet and still has that lard ass Limbaugh’s giant mug posted there. Part of this is due to laziness, but part is also due to the fact that it’s December. It’s the one month of the year that we can all come together and celebrate the single most important event in the history of …..humanity. Of course, I am speaking of THE FUGAZIS - FUGAZE OF THE YEAR AWARDS!

Naturally, some people are just born fugaze and are clear front runners in this year’s race. Your K-fed’s and Brandon Flowers’ come to mind. Any hollywood starlet that has had her vajine photographed more than once in public is definitely in good shape to take the award as well.

But what we really want to know is who you, the fugaze nation, thinks should take the award. Please leave a reply in the comments to nominate your fugaze of the year!

Oh Rush, if only you were a fraction as cool as the band that shares your name.

Rush Limbaugh is one of those assholes that thinks he’s ALWAYS right and that his opinion is the ONLY opinion. Just look at the names of his books, “The Way Things Ought To Be” and “See, I Told You So”.

In the past he has made many outlandish and uneducated claims, such as stating that volcanoes do more harm to the ozone layer than human-produced chemicals, that 50% of people would abort their babies if they knew it had the “gay gene”, and that black quarterbacks can’t make it in the NFL. But his recent statements toward Michael J. Fox are probably the most fugaze to date.

On the October 23, 2006 edition of Limbaugh’s radio show, referring to a political campaign ad Michael J. Fox appeared in for a candidate who supports stem cell research, Limbaugh imitated the physical symptoms of Fox’s Parkinson’s disease and stated that “He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He’s moving all around and shaking and it’s purely an act…. This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn’t take his medication or he’s acting.”

Fox came to his own defence stating, “The symptoms that I had in the ad that I did, that’s called dyskinesia, and that’s actually from too much medication. So take that you dick!” (Ok, I threw in that last part myself)

Rush then issued an “apology” and immediately took the stance that Fox had taken too much medication on purpose. Fox quickly pointed out that his medication is quite complicated, and that calibrating the dosage “for effect” is essentially impossible.

So for all your efforts, Rush, you are officially November’s FUGAZE OF THE MONTH! Cogratulations, you beat out K-Fed.

And would you put down that fucking cigar for fuck’s sakes?!?

He hails from the cultural Mecca that is Las Vegas, Nevada. He enjoys Mormonism, eye makeup, black blazers, and is North America’s favorite purveyor of “indietastic” jock rock. Some call him Brendan Flowers, others B-Flo, but I prefer to call him October’s Fugaze of the Month.*

For those of you haven’t heard the news, on October 3rd (Pat, I express my deepest sympathies that this album drops on your birthday) The Killers will release the follow up to their profoundly boring and naturally successful debut album, “Hot Fuss.” But apparently B-Flo and co. got bigger things in store for their follow-up album, “Sam’s Town.” He has already been quoted as saying that “this album [Sam’s Town] is one of the best albums of the past 20 years…nothing touches this album.” I’m sure “Sam’s Town” will rank alongside such modern rock classics like “Nevermind” or that other little album called “OK Computer.” Actually, on the topic of Radiohead, B-Flo recently extended some songwriting advice for Mr. Yorke. Apparently, Thom “should feel grateful that he’s been given the gift to write pop songs – which he needs to write again.” So, you heard it here first, Thom. You have no excuse for another “Kid A” debacle – somebody told you.

My main fuss with B-Flo is that he tries to have it both ways. He’s basically Dan Brown with a record deal. One minute B-Flo’s wildly egotistical about himself and his contribution to modern rock, and the next he’s downplaying both. When asked by Jane Magazine what word makes him cringe, he responded with the following: “Artist. Just shoot me if I ever refer to myself as an artist.” You’re certainly right about that B-Flo – never refer to yourself as an artist (even though you implicitly, okay, explicitly suggest you are). And don’t worry, I promise you that I will never call you one either; however, I can promise you that I calls’em like I sees’em: no, you don’t have potential, but you’re definitely the mayor of Fugaze Town by a landslide.

*Ironically, I’m sure if Brendan’s fan base saw him at a bar before he was famous they would call him a “fag” and bottle him with a Molson Canadian. Truthfully, and I’m being completely serious, this is only time I feel genuinely sorry for him.

here’s icing on the cake:

fuckin WEAK

Anyone can be fugaze from one fleeting moment to the next. Some individuals are actually fortunate to exude a more consistent element of fugaze-ness into their regular diet. Every now and then, however, a true rare case comes along, where in which for one person, the entire premise, reasoning, and element of being is predicated upon the fact that you are fugaze from the moment you wake until the moment you sleep.

That takes finesse, my friends.

And guess what? Finesse is the exact brand of shampoo and conditioner that Tila Tequila uses every morning that she wakes up to take on another dose of the daily grind.

Yes, her entire aspect of celebrity is as a result of the internet phenomenon MySpace. Yes, she is a former Playboy model turned singer/songwriter whose talents are beyond the ever awe-inspiring. Yes, she claims to have created her own success all on her own, maintaining a strong connection with her “fans” via the aforementioned MySpace. Yes, she has garnered great amounts of publicity and money and fame and fortune as a result of surfing the web on a daily basis for hours on end.

No, she doesn’t realize that she is nothing more than a completely weak yet “modernized” advanced marketing tool with absolutely no understanding of what her true personality should be or could be as a result of being just as brainwashed as everyone of her 1,388,447 (and counting) “friends” on MySpace.

Tila Tequila, I hereby denounce you to a thirty day sentence of solitude within the confines of The Fugaze of the Month.
