Digitus Medius Award Nominee #1

On behalf of myself, I would like to announce a new award to go along with the Academy Awards, Grammys, Webbys, and Darwins. This award is called the Digitus Medius and nominees will be announced as they enter the fold.

For those of you who never took Latin, this one needs no transation. [Confession: I never took Latin either] If you're still lost, google it. The Digitus Medius Award is exactly what it sounds like. It's a trophy a with giant Digitus Medius at the top.

How does one earn a Digitus Medius?
Simple. You just need to do something really stupid or something that merits the the hate of many (or just me).

The first nominee is NBC. I mentioned last post how I am such a huge fan of the show Scrubs. It's their last season and they are trying to bring back as many former castmembers as they can, similar to what ER is doing. Of course NBC had to ruin their plans.

After doing reasonably well for NBC for six seasons, NBC decided to return the favor by refusing to allow former castmembers who now appear on other NBC shows to appear on Scrubs (now on ABC). This means we don't get to see the return of Masi Oka as Frnaklin the lab tech or Sarah Lancaster as J.D.'s ex-girlfriend the Gift Shop Girl (Lisa), who are now on Heroes and Chuck respectively. I personally didn't even realize that Sarah played Gift Shop Girl.

Congratulations to the people at NBC for become the first nominee! Expect an invitation to the red carpet event and award show early next year.
