Any news/updates on this years name of the year tourny? Since the march madness tournament got cancelled I'm in desperate need of a bracket competition
Enjoy your Pope jokes, simpletons, lemmings, DeadLeft fans. It's been fun. First Pope McCorkle now Pope McCorkle Part Deux. Horrible name and everyone who loves it loves schlock. Good Riddance!
I though Ms. Shorts was overrated, actually. I had General Booty causing the upset over Shorts, losing to Pretzel Montecarlo in the finals. I still like Pope Thrower over Shorts as well.
What a sad sad day in NOTY history. Pope Thrower fans are the reason why we can't have nice things. Surely the high committee has to put a stop to Pope related names in the future.
Something is awfully fishy here. On a single day Pope gains approximately 1500 votes to Jizyah's 200. Can you say, Electoral fraud?
Strong late push from the pontiff eh?
Agreed. I think some Pope fanatics are manipulating the vote.
What's going on with this voting? J Shorts had a consistent 60% of the vote for the first 4 days, and now several thousand votes come in for Pope thrower? Something's not right here.
I love 12-year-old-boy humor as much as the next guy (unless the next guy is Adam Sandler), But Pope Thrower beats Jizyah by a mile. Or however far one can throw a pope. The thing about Ms. Shorts is that I think any average middle schooler challenged to come up with a handful of fake names would produce one like Jizyah’s.
Yes, it’s entertaining that it ACTUALLY exists (even though her name’s real pronunciation isn’t actually funny), but Pope Thrower?? Is this some Roald Dahl creature chomping on snozcumbers in the Vatican? Is he named for a new conversion device invented by the Catholic Church to sling tokens of salvation T-shirt cannon style at unsuspecting infidels? I CANNOT STOP! This name sparks whimsy, laughter, and curiosity, while Ms. Shorts earns a semi-satisfying burst- a guffaw- before crusting over as a forgotten name in the tube sock of my memory.
Pope Thrower would be such an unworthy winner. Compare it to past champions like Princess Nocandy and Destiny Frankenstein and it just pales into insignificance.
I'd enjoy this finals a lot more if it wasn't for Pope McCorkle.
@wop. One of the best things about NOTY is that its not about how its ACTUALLY pronounced but how phonetically it can be read by your avg American voter. Most of these names come from other parts of the world so of course they won't be pronounced the way you want it to. One of the greatest NOTY champs was Tokyo Sexwale and I 100% guarantee that's not how you pronounce it. Yet, it wins because clearly that's how everyone read it. Even the high committee voted Tokyo Sexwale as their pick for that year. If you went by actual pronunciations then 80% of the names in the bracket every year would not make it. It's clearly a number 1 seed because everyone reads it as Jizz yah shorts. Don't hate. Pope names are overplayed.
Her name is pronounced "Jiz-eye-yuh" from what I understand. Jiz-eye-yuh Shorts...it's not that cool. Unless Pope Thrower has some weird, lame pronunciation, I'd say Jiz-eye-yuh is a lame duck in the finals.
We approve of Jizyah Shorts
