RFJason and the Lulzcon Awards
Glamour, prestige, riches, and public adoration are all things you should not expect for this year's Lulzcon Awards show. However, you can expect each category winner (and there will be 7 of them) to take home a Fine Bottle of Wine™.
Craigslist Experiment perpetrator and fine internet service RFJason has been tapped for this year's Lulzcon Awards, threatening to bring the event, and the entire weekend, to an unbearably slow death.
"There are two things I want to be remembered for in this world," RFJason said. "One is being a complete douchebag. The other is hosting the Lulzcon Awards. Now I can die happy. I'll also probably be drunk the entire time."
ED event managers added, "we just want to keep an eye on him. There's really no telling what the hell he's going to do, so we need to keep him on a tight leash. Giving him a false impression of importance is a great way to do that."
The 45 minute event will cover six different categories: Best Meme, Most Epic Lulz, Internet Tough Guy, Celebrity Death, an heroes, and a mystery category. Nominee videos and voting is available at rfjason.com/lulzcon. Special Guests and presenters will be picked from a pool of available suckers at the event.
RFJason created one of 2006's biggest internet scandals by putting up a fake Craigslist sex ad, and then posting all of the men's replies, including NSFW pictures, online. Several blogs and media groups named RFJason one of their top 10 internet villains of 2006.

EVKWIA... ouch hedy?
Seen Perverted Justice run stings on pedophiles for NBC's To Catch a Predator? Gosh, those peds really look like drooling, sex-obsessed fools. And the way they DENY what they've been up to, even in the face of the chatlog evidence! But the Internet is a tricky place....what if a COP was lured into inappropriate behavior by what he thought was a pedophile? And it
was all documented? Well, there's no way he could talk his way out of what he's done....Because EVEN VIKINGS know "Whom" is accusative!
Mark Miner
Mark Miner is a former Latin teacher, part-time poet, and full-time "Internet Pedophile." Trained in Performance Art at UCSD by Allan Kaprow and Eleanor Antin, and seeing the comic possibilities in having the *worst* possible on-line identity, he created the on-line pedophile personality, "Didaskalos" to express his pedo-side....and played the part by dressing in a fussy little bow-tie and getting a job as a teacher of High School Latin. Sure enough, the bait was taken, and "Iluv2surf," a cop working the internet sex-crimes beat, reported him to his principal and got him fired. Thus freed to pursue his REAL career of a classical poet, Mark/"Didaskalos" has released 7 CD's of Greek and Latin, which have sold 10,000+ copies. While traveling the country reciting from his repertoire of Homer, Vergil, Ovid, Pindar, Cicero, Horace, Catullus, Beowulf, Sir Gawain, etc, in the original languages, he is always careful to include students in the show, reciting the Modern English translation. (All your boys are belong to him!) SEVEN YEARS later, "Iluv2surf" followed the tradition set by Mike Echols' original anti-ped site "Better a Millstone," and put up a website with details outing 30 peds. Gloating maliciously about his own cleverness in tracking down peds, "Iluv2surf" hid his cyber-bullying behind a screen of Internet Anonymity.... Until "Didaskalos," using his MAD GRAMMAR SKILLS, did a stylometric analysis of his prose, connecting "Iluv2surf" with a real cop in Sacramento, whose job is now in jeopardy, unless he can successfully DENY his Cyber-Bully Alter-Ego. Due to accusations of police brutality, the Sacramento Sheriff's department hires a squeaky-clean Inspector-General to clean house, and *H*E*A*V*Y *D*R*A*M*M*M*A* ensues as the Sacramento cop tries to squirm his way out of his shameful double life.....
