Xie Nominations Announced Controversial Controversy | |
| ||
| Monster Island, 02.01.02 - The nominations for the Xies, the first ever X-Ball Awards, were announced Tuesday admist a flurry of controversy.
L. Brainius, Commisioner of X-Ball, was joined on stage by representatives from all the X-Ball Major League teams: Gridiron, from Monkeys Who Play Sports; Vengeance, from the newly hairy Reptiles 2 Da Maxx; Fluffy McCottontail, from Flower Pickin' Bunnies; and Smortalio, captain of the Marshmallow Strike Force. Although old standbys such as Bif Larkin and Tad Sufeld were nominated in the Best Announcer category, fans were angered by the total lack of nominations for fan favorites Extreme Snowmen and Bunny Pickin' Flowers. "Yo, look, dese guys are da bomb," said one incensed fan after watching the nominations live on ESPX. "I know they got fired and all, but, like, whatever, you know." When Nakamaji executives were asked about the shutout of the two teams, they said, "What? Who are these... Intense Snowpeople? And the Bunny Pricking Bowlers? Never heard of them. Sorry." Then they accidentally hit the speaker phone, and X-Ball Online was able to hear a 45 minute conversation regarding how to make people forget the Extreme Snowmen and Bunny Pickin' Flowers ever existed. Not everybody is upset though. "I for one am very pleased to be nominated for Best Play of the Season," said Fluffy McCottontail, "Despite the fact that I have yet to play a game of X-Ball."
