    Winner's to be revealed in Oct. I'll stick it in my diary. They'd wanna have a big stage ready for the billions of people who'll accept the award if the internet wins

    The internet? As in the successor to DARPAnet?

    So basically the US military just got nominated for the Peace Prize.

    Good game.

    I'd like to thank the internet cafes that helped me when I was starting out.

    Most of all though the Public libraries that gave me access when I was broke.

    Couldn't have have had that first Cyber Sex via a chatroom with HotUKGirl19* if it wasn't for you all.

    Fapping in a packed Internet Cafe is a hard learned skill, let me tell you (jacket on lap is the key ;))

    *Just like to point out that at this time, HotGirl19's reali identity had yet to be revealed by To Catch A Predator to be 62 year old serial killer Madmad Mike from Wisconsin.

    The internet, where else could you watch a lactating woman breast feeding a midget while getting rogered by a well hung black guy (I have actually seen this). It clearly deserves this award.

    Wait, the internet is organised?

    And what about all those websites which promote hate and war and violence?

    They'd want to steer clear of Youtube.

    Pornotube, Redtube and Filthtube are the way to go.
