2005 Dubbed Year of the Spoon-Faced Wanker

LOS ANGELES (DPI) – Reflecting the contest's international reach, the simple-yet-elegant "Spoon-Faced Wanker" won the coveted Insult of the Year Award, narrowly beating out "Neverland Rancher." Insult experts noted that while devastatingly insulting, "Neverland Rancher" was too vague and trendy and lacked harshness. "It was too difficult to determine if one was purported to run the ranch or to be a visitor," said one Insult Academy member. The unprecedented three-year-running championship phrase "Hamburger Helper Twat" would seem to indicate a preference on the part of academy voters for profanity coupled with vivid imagery. This is why many in the field are looking at the fledgling affront "Shut your dog food fuck hole" to make a run in 2006.
