Morrissey wins bad sex award for love scenes in debut novel List of the Lost - The Guardian
Singer’s description of a ‘giggling snowball of full-figured copulation’ helped him gain dubious victory
by Nicola Slawson

Excerpt:

Singer Morrissey’s reference to a “bulbous salutation” in his debut novel has helped him win the bad sex award.

Sex scenes in his book List of the Lost swayed the judges, it was announced at a lavish ceremony presented by Nancy Dell’Olio on Tuesday.

Established in 1993 by the Literary Review’s then editor, Auberon Waugh, the aim of the Bad Sex in Fiction awards is to draw attention to “poorly written, perfunctory or redundant passages of sexual description in modern fiction” with the hope of discouraging them.

...Morrissey, who follows in the footsteps of Melvyn Bragg, Rachel Johnson and Sebastian Faulks in winning the dubious award, was unable to attend due to touring commitments. He was also unavailable for comment.

UPDATE Dec. 3:

Excerpt from CNN article:

Morrissey was not able to attend the lavish ceremony in London, citing a busy touring schedule.

The organizer joked that this was down to the decision to serve meat canapés -- Morrissey is a die-hard vegetarian.

Music critic Charles Shaar Murray accepted the prize on Morrissey's behalf.

Murray said: "Ladies and gentleman in an ideal world, this award would be received by Morrissey. Or by somebody who publishes Morrissey. Or by somebody who likes Morrissey.

"Unfortunately no such person could be found."

I don't predict a TTY post acknowledging this accolade with another bit of artwork from Sam.
 
Re: Morrissey wins 2015 Bad Sex Award

Rather have a bad sex scene with Morrissey than a good one with any other...

Is any award truly dubious? And is that a list of names to not really want to be associated with? I don't think for a minute Morrissey is too up himself to not appreciate receiving this!
 
At least there was an award involved. Some people just have bad sex with Morrissey.
 
Re: Morrissey wins 2015 Bad Sex Award

LOL

he must going nuts making collages with elvis marylin and james dean.
 
Look at what i've become....never saw 'laughing stock' coming, as it were.
 
Re: Morrissey wins 2015 Bad Sex Award

I love that this is the story on the day he tried as hard as he could to get attention with the ISIS comment. He must have been saving that one, and no one really cares what he says anymore. Although he obviously did some great work in his career, and I've enjoyed seeing him live, etc, blah blah blah, looking back over his career I see a person trolling very hard since the very beginning with "Suffer Little Children." I hope I'm wrong about that one, but it's plausible.
 
Next up, Brits.

EVERYTHINGS 'plausible' HERE.


' and no one really cares what he says anymore ' ? :lbf::lbf::lbf: could have fooled me!


I find it 'funny' when I read the hate posts here... over and over again,It's just a lot of
people who think that by making such posts that doing so will somehow cut the umbilical cord that STILL
attaches them to their one true love, THAT love being MORRISSEY.






cut away,But It's useless.

:straightface:

I used to enjoy having sexual intercourse, but after reading 'List of the Lost' I haven't been able to summon up the enthusiasm. Morrissey has ruined the whole notion for me.

Morrissey's mother should have put the umbilical cord around his neck at birth and strangled him. She can make amends by garotting him with the xmas tree lights in a few weeks. Poor woman who truly spawned a monster. One can only feel compassion for her plight as she digests the fact that her son is a ghoulish troll who thinks it's lulz to compare a brief unpleasantness at SF airport to the plight of ISIS's victims. The true cruelty of Morrissey's unhinged remarks is surely the effect on his nearest family.

Morrissey should be thrown into the sea.

Given the latest batshit crazy attempts to troll the plight of the victims of ISIS by claiming he has suffered more by being unprofessionally frisked at an airport, there is ABSOLUTLELY NO LOGICAL REASON to waste any more time on 'Suffer Little Children'. He was indeed an inveterate troll from the very beginning. He can never again claim to be taken seriously over the Moor's Murderers when he has now mocked the plight of Yazidi girls sold as sex slaves to ISIS and murdered if they resist.

With every renewed atttempt to ratchet up the outrage, it just become the 'Spinal Tap of Trolling'. He thinks he can turn the amp up to 11 but doesn't seem to realise people are genuinely disgusted this time. Each and every time he makes a fool of himself is another nail in the coffin where his reputation and integrity are now buried. The sweetest part of this karmic justice is that he has done it himself! If ISIS shoot him dead on stage for comparing their jihad to the TSA, I will mourn the failure of security procedures but that's all I'll mourn. Ditto if this is just the build up to some catastrophic mental breakdown and suicide. He should be put under forced sedation and admitted to a mental hospital. Those around him who are allowing these statements to be made will have to face serious questions if he self-harms on a physical level. There is no more damage he can do to his reputation. It seems he intends to retrospectively poison his back catalogue so that only delusional people can still listen to without either shrieking in horror or laughter. Or both.

Morrissey should be buried in an unmarked grave on the moors.

That was clearly his desire and intention.

Farewell bulbous salutation.
 
Re: Morrissey wins 2015 Bad Sex Award

So, another trauma in the making ...

Once you've faced the mocking nature of WRITING BADLY ABOUT love then you can never get free of it.
 
Re: Morrissey wins 2015 Bad Sex Award

Maybe Boz and the boys can wear "f*** BAD SEX" shirts at the next show?
