In a dramatic move by the eponymous foundation located in some strange-sounding town in Norway, the main Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Austrian and father of who knows how many incentuous or otherwise children, Josef Fritzl.
Making the announcement today, Nobel Foundation spokesman, Sjord Nord Fjord said:
"Herr Fritzl has set the pace for this year's award. By having no bell in his basement, he was able to enjoy great bouts of peace - hence the Nobel Peace Prize - as he went about his daily business of working, shaving, going on holiday, cooking, helping his wife and abusing his daughter."
Other Nobel Awards to be awarded this year include:
Prize for Electioneering - Robert Mugabe
Prize for Literature - Katie Price for the books wot she writ
Prize for Sociological Advancement - Hamas
Prize for Tourism - BAA and Heathrow Terminal 5
Prize for Profiteering - BP
Prize for Crying Wolf - the UK banking industry
Prize for Dysfunctionality - The HR industry
