THE INTERNET - A GRACIOUS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

Remember that whole "Vote for Epicly Later'd, it's up for a Webby" campaign we lightly annoyed you with here for about a month? Well, we got it. Take it away, Patrick O'Dell…

I don't know what to say about this Webby Award really, but Vice asked me to write an acceptance speech. So uhh, thanks to the Webby Academy or whatever. Thanks to Jesus, Jereme, Gargoyinging, Claus Grabke and all my die-hard fucking fans. Also I want to rub it the face of ESPN, Play.com, and the Peyton Manning Promo, who were also up in the same category as me. You guys are really awesome, but I guess this proves that I'm a little awesomer. Oh, and the category was "Best in Sports Online Shorts" (or something)--isn't that some shit? At least it wasn't "Extreme Sports," because I would have vomited a little bit. I don't know anything about sports, it's a big blind spot I have. I always forget to care so this is an ironic win for me. And I say "I" and "me" because this award is not for Lauren Cynamon, Chris Grosso, Kelly Hudson, or anyone else at VBS that didn't have anything to do with it. Also, this has nothing to do with the skaters who agreed to be subjected to my awesome interviewing, 'cause in a way I made their careers. So anyway, I'll be seeing all you guys from the Webbys winners circle.
