Shock of the year: George Bush does NOT win the annual Foot in Mouth prize!
Supermodel Naomi Campbell was acclaimed for nonsense Monday after winning the Plain English Campaign's annual "Foot in Mouth" prize. The London-born catwalk star scooped this year's award for her patriotic observation on British cuisine: "I love England, especially the food. There's nothing I like more than a lovely bowl of pasta."

Germaine Greer won the campaign's "Golden Bull" award, which recognises the "worst examples of written tripe." The feminist author of "The Female Eunuch" wrote in her arts column in The Guardian on October 23: "The first attribute of the art object is that it creates a discontinuity between itself and the unsynthesised manifold."
