Turnips and Wet Gunpowder Prize

It appears that for every genuine award given out, there is often a spoof version.

The 'Razzie' Is A Well Established Award

So for The Oscars, there's the The Golden Raspberry Awards, which mock the Oscars. For the Nobel Science prizes for scientific excellence, there is the Ig Nobel Prize for useless scientific achievements, or lastly The Turnip Prize, which parodies the Turner Awards for modern art.

Nobel Prize, Ignoble Politics

China's behaviour over the award of the Noble Peace prize to Liu Xiaobo one of their own citizens, but one who is in prison for protesting for human rights, has been nothing less than shameful

Alfred Nobel Medal

..... but the behaviour of some of their 'friends' around the world has been equally disgraceful.

Nobel Commitee, A Laughing Stock(holm)

The Nobel Committee has made themselves and their organisation, a complete laughing stock, by their decision to award President Barack Obama the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

Worst Peace Prize - Awarded For Being A Black US President
Worst Peace Prize - Awarded
For Being A Black US President?

This despite the fact that he has only been US President for a few months, was completely unheard of prior to becoming President, and has done absolutely nothing to increase peace in the world, except be black, oh, and be the first black US President.
