So do we have to do that thing were we explain what Turkey of the Year means?

Like, ya’ll know what we’re talking about, right? No, we don’t mean an actual turkey, like the two poor guys you see above.

Nah, we mean a turkey. Someone who’s wack. A loser. A lame. Someone who does things without swag.

There’s plenty of these characters swirling around, especially in our little GlobalGrind universe.

Listen: we spend a lot of time praising these celebrities (sometimes, a tad bit excessively, we admit) so we decided on one of our most heartfelt holidays, we’d give yall the 2013 Turkeys of the Year.

Scroll down…leggo.

We’ll start with this guy, Manti Te’o, who took a major L at the top of the year after news came out that the Notre Dame Linebacker (who’s since been drafted by the San Diego Chargers) had just gotten Catfish’d.

Then there was Amanda Bynes, a person who made us hate the selfie even more than we already do. (Sorry, Rachel.)

In 2013, Justin Bieber became the biggest tool on the planet.

(God, we had this guy just a year ago).

Wait, did we call The Biebs the biggest tool on the planet? We misspoke: it’s this dude, Chris Brown, who desperately needs to work on his chill.

Don’t even get us started on Anthony Weiner, who was just one-less dick pic away from being the next mayor of New York City.

And speaking of bad politicians, no one does bad like the white Pookie, Rob Ford, who has been eroding as Toronto’s mayor.

We gotta give special turkey-of-the-year shout outs to ex-New England Patriot tight end Aaron Hernandez, who threw away $41 mill cause he wanted to live out his childhood Tony Montana dreams.

There were plenty of rappers who were turkeys, like that boy Gucci Mane. who. kinda went. krazie.e:

You know who else was a turkey? Any struggle NYC rapper who wasn’t mentioned by Kendrick Lamar in his “Control” verse, but who chose to respond anyway.

Here’s a rule we would like to get enlisted: you need more than one and half songs to speak on the state of NYC rap.

You agree, Jame$?

Anyone who wore blackface this year for Halloween is a huge, HUGE, turkey. In fact, we want the fade when we see ya.

And, maaan, can mainstream publications not be so…gobble gobble ?

And finally, we’ve reached the end: we have the Turkey of the Year.

And is there any question about whom it is?

It’s George Zimmerman.

Why?

There. Are. Just. So. Many. Reasons. Why.
