Your Asshat of the Week: The Mormon Church
Our asshat nominees this time out included a homewrecking penguin, an out gay director who advises gay actors to stay in the closet, the Mormon Church and, quelle supris, a Big Brother contestant. Here are the voting results for this week's poll.
And here I bet a friend that Linda the Penguin was going to win in a landslide. Congratulations instead to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In case you've forgotten why exactly the Mormon Church was nominated, it's not just because of their Prop 8 support last year. Here's the most recent story. We'll be back with a new selection of Asshat Smackdown nominees in Friday's Best Gay Week Ever column. Feel like nominating anyone? Please share in the comments!

lol
Indeed, when Linda's last partner died (or killed himself?), Linda set her eyes on Harry as a new mate. When Pepper reacted violently by attacking Harry and Linda, zoo officials removed him from the enclosure and Linda sealed the deal.
"When Linda's last partner died (or killed himself?)..." - I choked on my coffee.
LMAO @ Linda the Hussy getting 16% of the votes.
I really don't get...
why Animal Planet hasn't tried to arrange with a zoo to make a penguin version of Meerkat Manor. It seems obvious, considering the penguin drama we hear about.
I voted for Linda, so don't feel bad Dennis
But alas, I guess gay penguin homewrecking just isn't as important as it used to be.

Leave Linda alone
Good. They deserve it.

I nominate John McCain for next week's Asshat of the week for his opposition to the hate crimes bill.

Good Call
I also want to add a nomination for Debra and David Faulkner for forcing their son into an ex-gay programme

I'll second the nomination
10 Reasons to forgive Linda
1) Gay may not be the new black, but when you've only got black and white to deal with, you need teh ghey to help accessorize - and a desperate gal will do whatever it takes to get the best fashion advice. Especially when you only have orange shoes - and everyone else has orange shoes, too.
2) He already had a family and proven himself a good dad - and that saves Linda 63 days of painful, ugly gestation. You can't know how long it takes to get all the right curves in the blubber only to have them wrecked by baby-weight!
3) The other guy - he was using the nest like a hotel. And he was making goo-goo eyes at an auk.
4) Penguins are gentically determined to eat fish. Y'know what I mean... fish
5) Linda is a widow and even the Bible says widows might. Or something like that.
6) At least she's from the Antarctic so she'll have an excuse for saying she's frigid. What excuse does the other guy have for not doing the dirty? A frigid guy? Like whenever does that happen? (Apart from in real life, of course. [Or perhaps that's just me.])
7) Hell, her new boyfriend was in a zoo. It's stress that drove him to it. Linda got lucky because zoo-stress made him indulge in a freakish, unnatural sexual behaviour pattern. Think Oz in reverse.
8) Linda's beau was up for a minor role in March of the Penguins II: the Walrus of Love and his agent had told him to get a beard. Poor Linda - she has a beard naturally.
9) Linda needed tabloid coverage - the lesbian rumours had been done to death with Lindsay Lohan and she needed a different schtick. Copying Anne Heche just wasn't gonna hack it.
10) He's a gay penguin who's seen every episode of Dynasty. Of course he's going to fall for a Linda. Unless a Joan is there, of course.
I voted for Linda
I think the Mormons will (unfortunately) have PLENTY of opportunities to display what asshats they are
Everybody join me is wishing for Harry and Pepper to get back together.
First we have to come up with a couple name, Like Happer or Perry
Then we have to start a website ;)
Loved Darrien's comment BTW
And did anyone catch Colbert's comment on the breakup? It was hilarious. He said this Proves that it's not natural to be gay, it's only natural to be bi
