I am shocked and awed. Bug informed me a few minutes ago that the incredible has happened: Metal Gear Funnies is the winner for the 2008 best movie Tank Award!!!
I think this marks an important time in Newgrounds history. Never before has good truly conquered evil. Never before have a group stood so defiantly for what is right in the face of tyranny... and walked away victorious. On this day, Newgrounds decided that it does not need to be a slave to the parody. It is a site for everyone, regardless of their tastes. Today will be remembered as the day that Newgrounds was liberated forever from the misconception that art cannot be met with popularity.
Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of very deserving movies that were nominated for the award. However, only Metal Gear Funnies had a message that is so relevant to Newgrounds culture. Anyone can succeed; you don't need to be popular or steal Simpsons and Family Guy jokes.
Newgrounds, truly everything, by everyone. May Newgrounds live on forever.
