Bad writing celebrated

Winners of the 2011 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest have been announced and the recipients should be very proud. Check out the many categories, but I like the Vile Pun winner:

"Detective Kodiak plucked a single hair from the bearskin rug and at once understood the grisly nature of the crime: it had been a ferocious act, a real honey, the sort of thing that could polarize a community, so he padded quietly out the back to avoid a cub reporter waiting in the den."  (Joe Wyatt, Amarillo, TX)

Something to aspire to.
