Discover, GQ present "Man of the Year" Award

	posted by Nightmist on Wednesday July 25, @11:00PM from the masculinity dept.
	This article on Excite News announces a GQ magazine "Man of the Year" award sponsored by Discover. The award asks "sons, daughters, wives, and girlfriends" to nominate men for GQ's "Man of the Year." The winner will be announced on Discovercard.com. Certainly, this is simple promotion of a product, but I do think that it will make people stop and think about the men in their lives and all the good we can (and do) create. Looks like both GQ and Discover may be good candidates for the pro-male section of our Media Watch page. :)

Mensactivism.org "Man of the Year" (Score:1) by Scott (scott@mensactivism.org) on Wednesday July 25, @11:39PM EST (#1) (User #3 Info) http://www.vortxweb.net/gorgias/mens_issues/index.html At the suggestion of a friend, I've been thinking about issuing a Mensactivism.org "Man of the Year" award as well. Readers would get to nominate and vote for people. I'll probably get things organized and then wait for the end of the year to get the process started (nominations, etc). If anyone has any particular ideas with regard to this I'd welcome them. Scott

Perhaps you could accept nominations via e-mail for a certain period of time, then post those nominations in the "Poll" section of this Web site. Let the poll run for a week or so, and then we'll have our winner. I'll even drop you the first nomination: Scott Garman. :)

Of course, Mensactivism.org administrators would not be eligible for the award! Scott
