The Icelander: I'm willing to accept the million dollar prize on behalf of everyone. I promise I'll use it to buy porn, which is why the Internet was created in the first place.

No, the internet was created as a means to discuss whether Kirk or Picard was the better captain. Porn was just a fortunate byproduct.

As the abstract concept of "arguing on the internet", I'm feeling overlooked by the committee.

Al Gore...something something...inanimate carbon rod...there's got to be a joke in there somewhere.

This is why the Nobel Peace Prize is such bullshiat and brings the other legitimate Nobel Prizes down.

I'm so sorry liberals just plain irritate you, subby.

I thought nowadays Nobel Peace Prizes only went to people that continue and escalate wars? Are they going to change the requirements again this year?

The Nobel Committee will be bought to their senses, by making a threat that if the stupid Internet nomination wins then a Lemon Party will be thrown.

The internet isn't a big truck you can dump a trophy on. It's a series of tubes.

Buy? Really?

I, for one, have never purchased porn.

/for myself anyway

FTFY

In Rod we Trust?

Aw man! Did you actually get to SEE Internet?

/Yay Internet

Being nominated is not the same thing as having a real shot at it. I'm pretty sure there are idiotic nominations for the other Prizes too that just never see the light of day.

"Internet 'in running' for Nobel Peace Prize"

We did it guys... well done all around.

Just give it to Tim already! (new window)

Lumpmoose: C'mon, they're not being abstract enough. They should give the prize to 'Peace' or 'Yellow' or something.

I think nominating "white" would be more appropriate. Nothing says peace like unconditional surrender.

If the internet wins, the awards ceremony should be rickrolled.

Thankfully, we all know the correct answer is Sisko.

Old skool, yo!

Wait, we haven't ended the Ginger v Mary Ann debate yet.

I just settled it... in my pants. Not sure what the answer was, though.

I should nominate the 8 year old down the street. All I have to do is convince them that he might eventually do something to deserve it.

So many people have repeated the joke about Gore inventing the Internet that the context of the joke is beginning to fade while the association of the terms remains strong. Eventually, in a few hundred years, Gore will indeed be regarded as the inventor of the Internet.

The Internet is a tool. Giving it a Nobel Prize is pointless, stupid, and reaffirms that the Nobel Committee is full of useless blobs of carbon.

Give the prize to dissidents in China and Iran who use the Internet and other means to speak out against their oppressors. Make a point; hurt some dictators' feelings.

Congratulations. You just got nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

It's a wonder Gilligan can even stand up straight.

Moot shall accept on behalf of the whole internet.

'Cuz they were both heifers.

Mrs. Howell, on the other hand...

haha lol'd at

The only way the Nobel Peace Prize could be more of a joke is if they gave it to 4chan. That is the ONLY way.

Wait, shouldn't the boss of the internet guy get the $?

I guess we'll have to start handing these out now...

Jobe Smith will accept, of course.

Point02GPA: How can something that has so many Flame Wars be nominated for a Peace Prize?

Because the Peace Prize was invented by the guy who invented dynamite.

Well played.

Snarfangel: He didn't say he created global warming, submitter. He merely said that during his service in the United States Congress, he took the initiative in creating a lot of hot air.

Someone almost got it.

Dynamite is far less dangerous than the internet.
