2011 SCAMMY AWARD WINNERS!
AASF is pleased to announce the “winners” of the Scammy Awards given to Self Help Gurus for their "excellence" in ripping off Americans with falsehoods, false hopes, myths & half-truths!
The intention of the awards is to ensure Self Help Gurus receive the attention they deserve. The general public picked the winners through an online survey and this year’s response shows that Americans do care about the negative impact that the highly profitable “Self Help-Industrial Complex" is having on America.
The results of this year’s awards are particularly timely in light of the increased number of desperate Americans being victimized by these gurus.
Awards are determined by the highest number of total votes and, in some cases, when the totals are close, a runner-up is also selected. The winners are as follows:
DUMB SPEAK AWARD given for the most unintelligent thing uttered by a Self-Help Guru goes to James Ray & runner-up Vianna Stibal
HYPOCRITE AWARD given to the Self-Help guru with the biggest gap between their professed values and how they actually behave goes to James Ray
DADDY BIG BUCKS AWARD given to the Self-Help Guru whose lifestyle shows that they are only in it for the money goes to James Ray & runner-up Jack Canfield & Tony Robbins (tie)
HOODWINKED AWARD given to the Self-Help Guru who did the best job of tricking celebrities into being their sponsor goes to James Ray & runner-up Vianna Stibal
CHARLIE SHEEN BI-POLAR AWARD given to the Self-Help Guru whose promises got the opposite results goes to James Ray
BEST PERFORMANCE IN A MIS-LEADING ROLE AWARD given to the Self Help Guru who did the best job of deceiving the public goes to James Ray & runner-up Vianna Stibal
BERNIE MADOFF LIFETIME MIS-ACHIEVEMENT AWARD given to the best, all around Self-Help Guru who did the most to diminish the human race goes to James Ray
When we belch or break wind we set up a vibration. Do we not have to be careful to set up the right vibrations in this way if we are trying to attract success?
