Radio Ink Magazine's website today reported that the Broadcasters Foundation of America has created a new honorable award: the "Lowry Mays Excellence in Broadcasting Award." Yes, the very same man who founded Clear Channel Radio and systematically ruined the radio industry by an amazing variety of means will have an "Excellence" award named after him. The first recipient of this ironically named honor will be handed his/her award in April at the next NAB Show in Las Vegas. Unless that winner is a Clear Channel employee, good luck with that acceptance speech and working Lowry Mays name into the list of people you thank! (The fact that Clear Channel donated $125,000 to the Broadcasters Foundation of America may have had a little bit to to do with the naming of this award... or maybe I'm just getting cynical...) Personally, I'm almost hoping that this begins a new trend in ironically named honors! I would love to see awards handed out at fancy ceremonies, such as: The Drew Peterson Healthy Marriage Award The William J Morris Healthy Lung Award The Lindsey Lohan Sobriety Award The Chevy Chase TV Talk Show Longevity Award The New Coke Marketing Excellence Award The Matt Millen Award for NFL Managerial Excellence The Pepe Le Pew Great Hygiene Award The Shaquille O'Neal Free Throw Perfection Award The Taco Bell Gourmet Dining Award The Rod Blagojevich Excellence in Politics Award The William Hung Vocal Excellence Award The Bubonic Award of Health Excellence The Dick Cheney Excellence in Quail Hunting Skills Award The Ray Charles Perfect Vision Award The Kajagoogoo Musical Longevity Award The David Lee Roth Radio Career Honors The Richard J Daley Speech Etiquette Award The Pompeii Award for Urban Renewal The Carrot Top Comedy Excellence Award The Marcel Marceau Oration Award The Michael Vick Pet Care Award The Donald Trump Hair Excellence Award
