It's been a long time coming, but the anti-ladies night activist has finally done something to deserve some sort of public honor. His tireless efforts to rid the world of sexist Ladies Night bar and club marketing ploys brought him national notoriety, which we have repeatedly, thoroughly and vigilantly documented. He was even honored in this year's 2007 Hall of Shame. And The Daily Show took notice in this important civil rights documentary piece, which you can view and download here. But it was these voice mails that have prompted us to award (after careful and thoughtful consideration by our nominating committee) Steve Horner with the inaugural Shmuck of the Week award. Congratulations, Steve, keep up the good work.
