'''The Golden iPod Award''' is awarded to a person who managed to become [[an hero]] (i.e. [[No shit|commit suicide]]) in a [[lulzy]] way that brought joy to the [[interwebs]]. There can only be one Golden [[iPod]] each year, and the competition is very tough. The first person ever to receive an Golden iPod was [[Mitchell Henderson]], for his drama-inducing self-pwnage and subsequent posthumous pioneering of the phrase "[[an hero]]."

== Requirements for the Golden iPod Award ==
* The person must have become [[an Hero]].
* There must be [[drama]] involved.
* The person must have become an hero in a [[lulzy]] way.

== An Hero, [[2006]] ==

* [[Mitchell Henderson]]
''For becoming the first person to receive the An Hero title and for bringing many lulz to the Internet. Mitchell showed us that death does not have to be sad, but could in fact be quite hilarious. For losing his iPod and creating a new classic [[meme]] in the process, Mitchell Henderson lives on in our hearts and in our hard drives, and receives the inaugural Golden iPod Award of 2006.''

==== Disqualified nominees ====

*[[Heath Ledger]] - He overdosed by accident, he never meant to become an hero. His OD wasn't even worth a darwin award, unlike [[Codey Porter]].
*[[Brandon Crisp]] - He had a luzly brawl with his parents, like [[Jake Roberts|Jake "An Wii-ro" Roberts]], but he did not run out in the woods to kill himself. He fell from a tree by accident, which is a unfunny death. [[Brandon Crisp]] was disqualified even though he is popular and did bring many lulz to the Internets and a [[b|specific image board]]. If Brandon jumped from a cliff or hanged himself from that tree, he could have won '''the game'''.

*[[Bruce Jeffrey Pardo|Bruce "Satan Claus" Pardo]]

''Bruce Jeffrey Pardo has [[winnar|won]] 2008's Golden iPod Award for the incredibly lulzy task of [[cosplay|dressing up]] like Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, knocking on his in-laws' door while they were having a Christmas party, and '''shooting an 8-year-old girl in the face''' when she answered. He subsequently went on to [[pwn]] nine people in all, including himself, but not before burning the house down with a flamethrower. The only explanation possible for this act is that he was extremely horny? Bruce Jeffrey Pardo was an amazing individual, but not least of all, he was [[An Hero]].''

By default, it goes to [[OldDirtyBtard]]. Rest in peace bro.

''On Saturday, October 30, OldDirtyBtard was martyred by the Pharisitic bastards at the Church of [[Scientology]]. The cause of death was labeled suicide, and the [[police]] refuse to investigate the issue further. He will be sorely missed.

===Nominees===
*[[Elliot Rodger]] - The Supreme Gentleman, the most alpha of the betas, and a poster boy for [[fedora]] enthusiasts everywhere, Elliot Rodger went on a killing spree and then killed himself simply because he couldn't get laid. As a result, he died a virgin, started a #YesAllWomen shitstorm all over social media, and added more fuel to the already-burning feminazi/SJW movement. *tips fedora in his honor.*
*[[Leelah Alcorn]] - A teenage [[tranny]] who committed suicide by jumping in front of some Arab's truck just to prove a point. And that point was that he was a Satanic heathen who refused to embrace his loving parents' Christian values by yearning to chop off his penis, change his name from Joshua to Leelah, and live a self-mutilated, gender-confused life as a devil-worshiping freak. If anything, he deserves the award for doing us a favor by ridding us of his maladjusted existence at such an early age.
*[[JewWario]] - A contributor of [[TGWTG]] who shot himself at the beginning of the year as an only escape from the shitty Internet circlejerk he had wrongfully associated himself with.

===Disqualified nominees===

*[[Robin Williams]] - The shitty actor best remembered for voicing an effeminate animated genie who befriends a homeless kid in a Disney movie, playing a cross-dressing granny and a mentally retarded manchild just to be around children in other movies, and starring in his final role as [[Hutchence's Syndrome|David Hutchence]] in the comfort of his own home. Disqualified as a nominee as his career had already been dead well before he was.

*{{glow|[[Tyler Robinson]]}} - Furfag shot [[Charlie Kirk]] in the neck to appease his troonmate. V& but temporarily got away with it due to some oldfag pedo lying about being the shooter.

=== An Winnar ===

You have to give it up for a [[Nigger|Black Man]] that chose that it would be more fun to go out and do a drive-by by shooting out the window of his car with his [[Penis|Dick]] rather than a gun.

[[Nautica Malone]] is this year's winnar because he took the [[Japan|samurai's]] way out and chose to [[an hero]] rather than face the shame of a video showing himself [[Masturbate|wanking]] in his car to half-dressed [[Whores|bimbos]] at a Bikini Beans coffee shop.

Malone earns this award, not for what he did but for the [[Shit|Shit Storm]] that followed his [[An hero]]ing. Like most sex crimes, [[Internets]] goons and his family tried to make Malone the victim by saying that '''''The Great [[Masturbate|Fappening]]''''' should have never been released onto the internet and was only done to shame Malone.  These [[Retard|Weak In The Heads]] argue that ''Mister Handy'' should have been reported to the [[Police]] and the video submitted as evidence ignoring the fact that Malone sitting out in public and ''[[Masturbate|shaking his own tree]]'' would have made headlines and his little act of ''Self Love'' would have interested [[Fake|Pseudo-Reporters]] and [[Rantic Marketing|Clickbait]] sites on the internet, ensuring that his act of ''Five Finger Love'' would have gone national regardless.

To put the cherry on top, those ''[[Faggot|Big, Mean Boys]]'' in [[Prison]] love nothing more then ''[[Anal|Sticking It]]'' to '''''Fresh Fish''''' that come in to serve sex crimes so [[Suicide]] was really his only option.

== [[2026]] ==
