You know, it’s one thing to be angry about sexism. It’s entirely another to despair about it. Sometimes it’s good to kick back and laugh at all those mostly male talking heads who pump out garbage on the reg. Matter of fact, why don’t we give those Cro-Magnons some awards to recognize just how absolutely absurd and embarrassing they are?
That’s exactly what a superstar team of comedians are doing with the inaugural Golden Probe Awards. According to Bust, perfectly named honor will recognize achievements in such categories as “Outstanding Performance in an Unscripted Outburst,” “Outstanding Underachievement By a Legislator in a Leading Role,” “Best Adaptation of Reality in an Elected or Non-Elected Role,” and the highly coveted “Best Acting Like You Care About Women in a Non-Supportive Role.” Beautiful!
Created by the non-for-profit org Lady Parts Justice and hosted by rapper Jeaan Grae, the event will be livestreamed from New York City’s Le Poisson Rogue on October 2, the event comes at just the right time to skewer the politicians and pundits who have made this election cycle so very unfriendly to women. Expect appearances by Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, Samantha Bee, and Sarah Silverman, Lizz Winstead, Jessica Williams, Wendy Davis, and others. Can’t wait.
