Hot Air Oscars

I'm happy to announce the launch of the first annual "Hot Air Oscars". These awards go to the person or organization who (in the judgment of the panel) best exemplify the modern-day survival skills of greenwash and twaddle-emission. There will be awards for "most misleading advertising", for "best use of magic playing fields", for "best doublespeak", for "most creative use of the word 'zero'", for "best bogus comparison", for "best speaking with many faces", for "best supporting liar", for "best inflated difference", and for "best conparison". Nominations may be sent to David MacKay. Shortlisted achievements will be featured on this blog over the next month or two. The winners of the first annual Hot Air Oscars will be announced in mid 2009.
