      The committee had some choice words that made it pretty epic tbh.

      Basically said something like they don’t like it when people campaign for the novel peace prize, and that it’s something that definitely gets talked about when making the decision.

        But that just tells me he’s not the first, only, or likely last person to solicit something he isn’t qualified for from this committee. Not exactly epic if they are just stating the obvious out loud.

          As far as what the nobel peace prize committee says on the record, that’s about as brutal of a fucking slam as you’re ever going to hear.

            Words have lost all meaning. Brutal to point out character flaws that everyone already knows about and epic that they talk it about openly. SLAMMED!

        Snub usually has a negative connotation for the one doing the snubbing. Additionally they didn’t ignore him, they just called out his bad behavior.

      I didn’t get an Oscar this year. I was epicly snubbed.

      I didn’t do anything related to the movies, but still it was an epic snub. How could the Academy do this to me? 🤣
