-image-2005 weblog awards
Every year at this time, a selection of 14 of Asia’s most intellectual and erudite bloggers are selected to as nominees in WizBang’s Weblog Awards. This year, AsiaPundit is proud to stand alongside the Sassy Lawyer, Marmot’s Hole, Hemlock’s Diary, Sinosplice, ESWN, the shaky kaiser, mrbrown, Hongkie Town, Shanghai Diaries, Our Man In Hanoi, Frog in a Well, Simon World and Mr. Miyagi as a nominee for Best Asian Blog.
And every year the nominees are humiliated by the sheer strength of the readership of Xiaxue, one of Asia’s least intellectual and erudite (aka: cheem) bloggers. With advanced congratulations to Wendy, AsiaPundit encourages you to vote AsiaPundit for Best Asian Blog (he doesn’t want the defeat to be too embarrassing).

Wow Chris, congrats for being nominated! Oh wait, did you nominate yourself? I think you did.
“don’t want the defeat to be too embarrassing?”
Then how about not nominating yourself in the first place?
I don’t think of Xiaxue’s blog as any less intellectual than yours.
Who are you to judge the gems in hers, when, I quote, “erudite” bloggers like you harbour so much bitterness at how she, without much effort whatsoever, gets so many readers, while you murk around the semi-known in the blogosphere?
You are so determinded to see bad in her. A perfect example of sour grapes.
While we are at that, Xiaxue’s already gotten 130+ votes without any help from her “fans”, or whatever you will call them. She has already beaten you flat - once again, without any efforts whatsoever.
And she surely didn’t nominate herself.
May the best blogger win.

Forget it, AsiaPundit, you won’t win.
This result is clearly reflective of the collective mental state of infantile “hello-kitty collecting”, “bubble-tea sipping”, dancefloor revolution playing teeniebopperish lemmings, which predominate the Asian blogosphere.
What she has… her persona, sells. period. In that respect, if popularity is what you’re after (heaven forbid!), she’s smarter than you in giving the masses the bubblegum literature they desire.
