I've always regarded microsoft's mvp initiative as a corny-douchey surrogate for a thriving, healthy grassroots movement.
I find people who use "evah" to mock others "douchey" as well. And fairly egotistical.

You might consider that for some people, that little logo might actually mean something. Whether it does for you isn't important. After all, your immature reaction and comment is far worse in my eyes then any offense the author of the article committed. Not that you'll care.
