I read this article earlier this week and I had to laugh. For the personal finance awards I can just picture it. I'll get the "Best blog with under ten posts" award. Have to go prepare the speech and make room in my side bar for a gold star. Ha! I read this article earlier this week and I had to laugh. For the personal finance awards I can just picture it.

With mutual funds these guys are really serious! Unbelievable. FJ: Great idea. We can invent categories like "the best blog post for the eighty first day of the year that is not a Monday". It would be a blast. And if a blogger didn't win, we could allow trophies to be purchased. We can't charge 95 bucks though because no blogger will buy!

This reminds me of the time I went to a rib festival (yes, there is such a thing) in Burlington. Basically there are a bunch of stands set up where you can buy ribs from the various restaurants - in front of each one was a sign listing all their various awards: "Best ribs - Burlington festival 2005" "Tastiest ribs - Mississauga festival 2006" and so on - basically the festival just moves around all summer and hands out awards... The ribs were good. Funny stuff.
