http://www.videogum.com has been nominated for “Best Website of the Year” in the ECNY Awards, which mostly just recognizes Outstanding Poster And Flyer Design in the New York comedy scene. You can vote here. Or don’t. What do I look like, Seth MacFarlane?

  1. I dunno…I’m fairly lazy. Will this take time out of my busy schedule? I have A LOT of sitting on my ass to do.

  2. Done! Seth MacFarlane is a shoo-in.

  3. I tried to do it but when I clicked to submit there seemed to be some sort of a glitch in the matrix.

  4. Odd slate of nominees, but @mrdavehill is a lock for the Twitter category.

  5. Videogum already won Best Website in my heart.

  6. Also did you guys notice the new footer at the bottom of videogum? Apparently they’re runnin with Buzz Media, Purveyors of such fine sites as:

    AbsolutePunk I BritneySpears I BrodyJenner I Buzznet I Celebslam I Celebuzz I ConcreteLoop I Fansites.org I GoFugYourself I Idolator I JustJared I JustJaredJr. I KimKardashian I KhloeKardashian I KourtneyKardashian I NicoleRichie I OKMagazine.com I PacificCoastNewsOnline I SocialiteLife I SoundsOfBuzz I SplashNewsOnline I Stereogum I TheSuperficial I WWTDD I WhitneyPort I Videogum I

    Is this going to impact objectivity?

    • BuzzMedia has always been our parent company. Hush now.

    • Buzznet aquired Stereogum before Videogum was born.

      • BUZZmedia acquired Stereogum in large part because I was going to launch Videogum! I bought Videogum.com URL years before we launched it.

        The new footer exists because a popular traffic measuring company called Comscore requires it.

        The ‘Gums work independently of all the other sites in the network. I’ve never met anyone who works for TheSuperficial, AbsoluetPunk, KimKardashian, JustJared, etc.

        BUZZmedia takes care of advertising so Gabe and I can focus on finding the highest def trampoline accidents for you.

    • That explains all of the insane, pro-Kardashian propaganda spewed here. Just call it Kardashiangum.com and get it over with. Can’t we all just get off of the Kardashians for 5 seconds?

    • I’ve seen several comments about this, and I do NOT see the footer. Firefox Adblock win?

  7. It’s one thing to vote, but to now I have to confirm my vote? New York, I love you but you’re bringing me down.

  8. Everyone vote for Baron Vaughn so he will stop being mean to me on Twitter and also vote for Eugene Mirman because that book is hilarious and I want him to be my best friend. “Do this in memory of me.” — Jesus Christ, 0 A.D.

  9. I call BOGUS on the ECNY Awards. They left Maria Bamford out of the best female stand-up category.

  10. wow – I don’t know what ANY of these things are, or what they do, or recognize any names in this whole thing besides videogum and gabe liedman et al. maybe it is because i live in not new york.
    time to vote for the coolest sounding names!
    ooo Hannibal for best comic!
    MURDERFIST! auto-win
    I don’t have audio at work so I can’t even watch these vids!
    eagles = people horses yayyy
    in the end the important thing is that videogum wins. or something.

  11. “Confirmed! Your vote will be counted after the deadline on March 3rd, thank you!”

    • Oh good. The dead line seems like a long ways away. So, I can just do this later then. And by do this later, I mean, I’ll say I’ll do it later and then forget to do it entirely. Just like the other 90% of my life. Example: Ask that girl out in highschool, get a dog, go to college, file my 1988 federal income taxes, learn to scuba dive and vote for George Bush senior.
