Australian Tumbleweed Awards 2014 – Worst Critic. JOINT WINNERS: Ben Pobjie – 36.11% and Helen Razer – 36.11%. Voter Comments – Ben Pobjie: “Ben Pobjie has a Twitter feed full of his opinions and a newspaper column filled with as little opinion as possible. Which is worse?” “Fuck Ben Pobjie.” “Pobjie talks a lot about killing himself and has a profile pic of him holding a gun to his head. it seems cruel to dangle the promise before us like that without ever following through.” Voter Comments – Helen Razer: “Razer loves dropping her uni cultivated knowledge on us lowly shit munchers. Tell us jokes, do we not laugh? Not if we haven’t poured over Foucault for 3 year stretches, in Razer’s view.” “Helen Razer wants everyone to misunderstand her so she can write whinging columns and tweets about it. Winning this prize will delight her.” “Helen Razer might be an annoying, pretentious Thesaurus, but at least she’s interesting to read and often unpredictable.” RUNNER-UP: The Herald-Sun’s coverage of MICF – 27.78%. LAST YEAR’S WINNER: Catherine Deveny. * NOTE * 12.96% of voters voted for Australian Tumbleweeds – thanks guys! Voter Comments – Australian Tumbleweeds: “Anybody who votes for the Australian Tumbleweeds in this category is a bum.” “You guys just seem to hate on everything. Which is too easy and makes this site come across as written by bitter wannabees. Some deserve it, some need to know that they are creating shit. I often agree & I used to enjoy reading your site, still check it out occasionally which is how I found this, but it’s just so hate filled now, it’s not fun to read anymore. Everytime new comedy comes on TV I know you are going to hate it. Boring.” “I had to nominate the Tumbleweeds for worst critic for continuously making us choose between Mad as Hell and Clarke and Dawe. Hopefully it’s 50-50.”
