This item has only just been brought to our attention. Shame on us for not reading the Sunday Times more carefully:
The Michael Barrymore Cup, presented in recognition of an outstanding piece of insensitivity, goes to The Observer , which has complained because the Pope failed to take its busy production schedule into account while dying. Writing on the paper's Blog website, Rafael Behr, the site's editor, noted: "A Vatican statement on the Pope's health is expected at 18:10. We don't want to be churlish, and try our best to avoid causing needless offence ... But could they be any less helpful for meeting Sunday paper deadlines?"
We love 'Blog website'. That would be on the 'world wide interweb'.
But we don't want to be ungrateful. We're glad they're reading. (Although for rank insensitivity they missed an open goal with this post.)
That's two awards in one week.
Blog media navel-gazing monitor taps watch and looks disapproving.
Ok, enough bigging up the blog for one week. If you'll excuse us we've got a news list to draw up. And before we do that we've got to catch up on last night's Labour election broadcast. We hear Tony and Gordon looked very natural together, just like old friends. Sat on a park bench like bookends.
