He's no joke, he's Gary Busey.

It's ok that Gary Busey is up there as a joke and that people vote for him. The MOM thing is for fun and if so many people voted for Gary, that would be fine. But 8 votes out of 12 come from Yves so the poll looses its sense, we can't count all the votes Gary got. Sorry Gary!

Honestly, I dont know when the format began to change. Originally, the MOM would only go to a Forum Member, or Shannon..

Yves... it's just been something we've been doing for 4 years, one of the very first things we started doing when the forum was created. And, I highly doubt Busey will be available to do a Q&A at the Blind Melon Forum..

can't we ALL just get along This is an on line forum, where folks can come to chat, research Melon, find new friends, get into debates, hell or even nominate Gary Busey if they want to. I understand there are rules and regs to the MOM nomination, so we should follow these rules. Don't throw in a monkey wrench by starting bogus accounts just to give your nom. the upper hand fraudulently....... Come on folks, don't let this snowball into another volatile situation #hoonsmiley#

gary is very much available for the q&a.
it's not as though any accounts were created to be malicious or to start a flame war. let's get a sense of humour folks! being "melon of the month" isn't a nobel prize or anything that'll turn the economy around.
it's gary busey for fuck sakes!

We know Yves... We know it's not a nobel prize. It's just a tradition here.
If you think it's silly, then you dont have to take part... At the same time, you don't have to rig it...

meh... i'm just sick of all the backhanded comments around here, and then when people get called out on them or politely asked not to do something.... they act like it was a joke... but then try and DEFEND their comment as a REAL statement. get along, or dont .... but no need to keep attacking publicly. At first i'd thought... "i've never met a melonhead i didnt like". BUT... "PEOPLE" are all different. and I have come accross melonhead/people i hadnt cared for ... for one reason or another. So if i said that statement NOW... i'd be lying. But theres no need to make a public spectical of it. carry on

But theres no need to make a public spectical of it. carry on who got called out on a comment? all i said was that this was being taken a little too seriously. (which is apparent) can you clarify who defended a comment as a real statement as you put it? dude, you're talking about getting along and not attacking publicly, but here you are making cryptic comments about not liking people. (which if directed at me is a-ok) you guys have turned what was clearly a joke into something retarded. has nobody noticed the gary busey youtube clips here and there in recent weeks? the guy is hilarious. LIGHTEN UP!

There's really no need for any kind of heated discussion here. In my previous post, I clarified why votes that Gary Busey got won't count. I know it was a joke and that's fine. Yves, if everyone thought your joke was funny enough, they'd vote for Gary. But they didn't. We are all different and have different sense of humour, different opinions about what's funny or not. If we don't find your joke funny enough, it doesn't mean we're all too serious and need to lighten up. I laugh every day! Just not at Gary Busey Some people do care about who wins the MOM, some don't. The point is, the poll has to be FAIR. Joke is one thing, breaking the rules and cheating only to insist with a joke is something else. Everyone can vote ONE time. I really don't think that's too much to ask.

Hey sweetcheeks, I think the guy is funny as funk, too! The YouTube vids crack me up (mostly the "how to interview" clip, which is classic!).... But to break the rules to make sure GB is MOM, that's just silly. I know it was a joke.... So, I'm already lightened up. Just know that voting 8 times for won't count... That's all. No biggie.

It IS a joke. After all the fighting I would have thought everyone would embrace Gary! And come on, you NEVER know...I bet the guys haven't even seen his clips!! There's still a chance it could be Gary they're looking for!!

No problem Tamara, nothing wrong with Gary being nominated and voted for, it's just creating multiple accounts to vote that we don't allow; this is the case for everyone - if the same person voted 5 times for Shannon Hoon, we wouldn't count those votes either.
