2003's Jackass Awards Vol. 1.

The year was a big one and there are a lot of stupid people out there. It's tough to pick the ten best but I'll have a stab at it.

Let's start with Angry Helen from Worcester. While I was working for WTAG over the summer, I observed a very new and un-usual kind of stupidity. People who hate what they are listening to on the radio and won't change the station. Helen makes this list by virtue of the fact that she is the picture-perfect example of this.

Yes, I realize she's probably been listening to WTAG all 89 years of her life on earth (which is a record since WTAG is only 75 years old), but she probably should have probably complained when "Lux Radio Theater" went off the air back in the 1950's rather than waiting until 2000 to complain about The WTAG Morning News Team. What she should do is just let it go, turn the dial to Swing 830, WCRN, enjoy the classic swing bands from the 30's and 40's, and just move on.

So Angry Helen, representing the League of Extraordinary Adamant Radio Listeners, makes the number 10 slot of 2003's Jackass Award winning a simulated leather wallet.
