Comments on: Surprise Selection of Thrall for Nobel Peace Prize Draws Mixed Reaction http://www.popehat.com/2009/10/09/surprise-selection-of-thrall-for-nobel-peace-prize-draws-mixed-reaction/ A Group Complaint about Law, Liberty, and Leisure Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:39:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mittenz http://www.popehat.com/2009/10/09/surprise-selection-of-thrall-for-nobel-peace-prize-draws-mixed-reaction/comment-page-1/#comment-48169 Mittenz Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:05:15 +0000 http://www.popehat.com/?p=6576#comment-48169 I think this prize was given because of Thrall's potential, rather than anything he has actually achieved in his short time as Warchief. Sure, he has engaged in talks with some few leaders of the Alliance, but has any peace actually occurred? Has he made any progress towards de-nuclearisation of the Scourge? No and no. It's great that a prominent leader of the Horde could win the Nobel Peace Prize, but I really think they could have waited for a few years for some actual results from the peace talks Thrall has been initiating.

I can't tell you how many great joke articles from places like The Onion die after the headline. But this was the exception -- the gift that keeps on giving, the joke of many punchlines. Well done, sir. I bow to your humor. Usually, these kinds of posts are like a joke that doesn't stop at the punch line.

In case you want to edit the "age undetermined" thing.
