Digvijay Singh, the legend himself, with the trophy that will be awarded to the winner.

Faking News owes to people who speak a lot (sorry Dr. Manmohan Singh), especially those who speak without thinking. Because the more they speak, the easier it becomes for us to find topics to write on. That’s why we have decided to honor such brave-mouths for their spectacular deeds in the year 2011, with a title aptly called “Digvijay Singh of the Year” – named after the person who does it with unmatched aplomb.

We have shortlisted five candidates each in five broad categories – Politics, Entertainment, Cricket, Journalism, and Others – based on your responses on Twitter and Facebook (sorry Google Plus), and now is the time to select the winner.

We start with politics, and there were dozens of nominations, but the final five nominees (based on popular choice) are:

• Kapil Sibal – for ‘zero loss’ and ‘internet censorship’ comments
• Manish Tewary – for ‘Anna is corrupt from head to toe’ comment
• Rahul Gandhi – for ‘beggar’ and ‘99% terror attacks stopped’ comments
• Mayawati – for her ‘Assange is mad and Wikileaks anti-dalit’ comment
• Nitin Gadkari – for the comment that led to everyone in BJP becoming PM’s candidate

Rahul Gandhi turns 40 today, 40-years-old that is

Ah, just take a look at that charming endearing lovely sexy breathtaking smile; can you believe he turned 40 today!? Unbelievable! He seems a sweet sixteen any day any moment; a complete antithesis to Shahid Afridi, whom we Indians just can’t believe to have remained under 30 even after ages.

But since Congress says so, we must not dispute it else our patriotism could be disputed. So our beloved Rahul Gandhi turns 40 today, period! Let’s all unite in wishing a very Happy Birthday to him!

When other media organizations are busy finding a Rajiv Gandhi in him or hunting a suitable bride for him, how can Faking News not discharge its duty of being a respectable news source? Hence we are also asking you to take part in this poll:
