London: Does supermodel Naomi Campbell need more food for thought? Maybe so, since she is being honoured on Tuesday for coming up with the following gem: ‘I love England, especially the food – there is nothing I like more than a lovely bowl of pasta.’
Her praise of pasta as an English dish in June will clinch the Streatham-born model the Foot In Mouth prize at the Plain English Campaign's annual awards.
The prize recognising verbal diarrhoea, the Golden Bull award, goes to writer and academic Germaine Greer, for a description published in The Guardian.
‘The first attribute of the art object is that it creates a discontinuity between itself and the unsynthesised manifold,’ she wrote.
The same honour is being awarded to recruitment agency Wheale, Thomas, Hodgins for producing a job advertisement with the phrases, ‘Our client is a pan-European start-up leveraging current cutting-edge IP with an outstanding product/value solutions set...’ and ‘By linking high-value, disparate legacy systems to achieve connectivity between strategic partners/acquisition targets and/or disparate corporate divisions.'
In the past, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Gere, Alicia Silverstone and Tracey Emin have been honoured with the same award.
