We already knew most awards are political jokes, but this one looks like an all times award in ridiculousness:

A major award by pigs for pigs. Ex - Muppets fans put your comments here.

How telling... How very telling.

This is the biggest inside joke they'll never notice, even though it's right under their noses.
Fits the present situation just fine. I guess some people out there have a sense of humor.

The stealth of truth, the truth is alive!
Somebody give it a mattress.

That's the fat pig that beats up her skinny boyfriend right? Sounds about right.

[FireStarter]

Being a feminist is very much in line with Miss Piggy's character. Highly superficial, commits domestic violence on her male partner, selfish, conceited, lacking logic and fat. Miss Piggy ticks so many of the feminist boxes.

Some of the things that are coming out now are getting so ridiculous it's almost like a grand experiment is being run. Sort of like when you talk to a girl and just to amuse yourself you gradually tell more and more crazy stories just to see if she'll believe you. At some point she'll point out that you're talking bullshit. I think the point where the general population starts acknowledging the bullshit is coming very soon.

Missy Piggy was spawned in the 70's or early 80's as a humorous foil in a children's show. Children knew exactly what she was and found her extremely funny.

Even kids knew what a feminist harpy was back in the day, and they laughed at her.

Today, girls resemble Miss Piggy, act like Miss Piggy, but don't find the humor in it.

[BlueOcean]

Miss Piggy has the body of a feminist, that's for sure.

Between this and the mattress girl now filming a porno, I am becoming more and more convinced that everyone is playing a massive joke on me.

This can't be serious. Feminists are using Miss Piggy as a feminist icon now? They don't see the irony? I guess they do wear with pride being fat and obnoxious. But as mentioned above, part of her 'joke' was her ongoing abuse (physically and sexually) of Kermit The Frog.

I can't wait until this shows up in my social media. Until then, I know I'll greatly enjoy the comments here.

[GoldHawkStar]

She really is the perfect, iconic feminist.

-Snarky and selfish.



-Abuses her pushover beta boyfriend.



-Doesn't actually do anything or have any purpose.



-Yet ugly women everywhere adore her.



-And she's literally a fucking pig.



How did I not see this before? She's the perfect leader of feminism!

I agree. It's not the makers of Muppet show to be blamed for adding a female pig (with a male as voice) to the cast. The show itself is but a cabaret of different character types, and the piggy-feminist is but one of them we naturally depise because of her, well, pig behavior.

The funny thing is that feminists fail to see the parody Miss Piggy represents of themselves here. Which make them all look like stupid, to say the least.

[aphelion]

I'm just not living in reality anymore, am I? My personal reference point of American women--if I had to explain it to a foreigner--is basically Miss Piggy.

Side note. Here's a quote downstream on the article:

"People have sorely messed up the definition of feminism. It isn’t saying this is wrong and this is right," said Chrissy Teigen during a Variety event in 2014, adding that husband John Legend also identifies: "He’s a bigger feminist than I am! He actually teaches me a lot about the way women should be perceived."

a man teaching a woman how to be a feminist has got to rustle some jimmies.

She also cut her hair short.

Kermit's new pig bitch looks Asian to boot.

"Feminists are angry that Kermit the Frog's new girlfriend is young and thin.
Many have expressed dismay that Kermit the Frog ditched the feminist and fuller-figured Miss Piggy for a younger, skinnier model, who has not yet expressed opinions on the works of Germaine Greer or bell hooks".

I literally thought this was about Lindy West winning an award.

[eatthishomie]

I didn't even know "Feminist Awards" were a thing.

An abrasive, unpleasant pig who abuses her boyfriend being lauded as a hero by feminists… I don't even think additional commentary on that is needed… that just speaks for itself.

[AnonymousBosch]

I was curious about her origin, so looked up how she was designed:

Quote:

Frank Oz assigned hooks or personalities to each Muppet. Miss Piggy's hook was a "truck driver wanting to be a woman".

I remember thinking as a kid that Miss Piggy was a parody of actress / leftist activist Cybill Shepherd. The ego, the diva tantrums - she gained a reputation for being very 'difficult' to work with, demanding constant rewrites that painted her in a better, 'Mary Sue'-style way, or wanting to be backlit in every single shot.

The wall hit her so hard I'd forgot just how crazy hot she was at that time. Unfortunately, she was crazy: bra burning / gay rights / abortion activism.







By 1982, she'd dated and dumped Elvis, and knocked back Robert De Niro and Jack Nicholson's advances, then fled Hollywood for Memphis, where she met and married an unknown Auto Parts dealer, whom I think belongs in the Game Hall Of Fame. Look at the body language.

Its interesting that after she wins the award they have to create a more feminine love interest.

Haha, that's great. When I was a kid I thought the joke was that no girl would ever want to be miss piggy because she was ugly, fat, abrasive, selfish and stupid, but look and behold, she's an icon for these mentally deranged people.

Re: Miss Piggy award.

I think they call this projecting...

That is what devotion and adoration looks like.

As a contrast, here's Jessica Simpson on the cover of People with her new husband:

[Excelsior]

A puppet on a children's television show decided to "break up" with another puppet on said children's television show, and this is considered a major issue worthy of extensive discussion by members of our society who believe that the interaction of said puppets has significant implications for the direction of their society.

I do not understand this culture.
