Jockerlee77 posted a video expressing his views on a recent CNN show in which Kirk Cameron was asked about his opinions on Gays and Gay Marriages.

This week, I’m giving the Outstanding Blog of the Week to
Gregg
Who posted the funniest video review I’ve seen in a long time(And I really needed to laugh this week LOL) He did a really professional job reviewing the cult-classic b-movie Starcrash.

I’m serious, my friends. This review was as good as, if not better than anything being done by any of the stars of Channel Awesome for it’s fresh comedy and perfect clip posting as well as it’s spot-on analysis of the more ludicrous aspects of the film. So, I hope you’ll all raise your glasses and join me in a toast. “Here’s to you, Gregg. Thanks for the laughs and may your wit only grow sharper as you post these wonderful videos.”
The Outstanding Blog of the Week is awarded for the week from Saturday to Saturday and posted(usually) on Sunday Morning. If you have a blog or want to recommend one for this award, Message me and I’ll consider it. Than you for giving up some of your time to help honor a fellow member. Peace.
