This guy is our hero!

CNN reports about the San Jose State University's annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, which celebrates the worst writing in the English language.

This year Dan McKay, a computer analyst at Microsoft Great Plains in Fargo, North Dakota, bested thousands of entrants from North Pole, Alaska to Manchester, England to triumph Wednesday, for he compared a woman's anatomy to a carburetor.

"As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph Spitfire," he wrote, comparing a woman's breasts to "small knurled caps of the oil dampeners."

Dan will receive a mere 250$ prize with the title. I think this is not fair, he should have received a 250k$ Ferrari for free for showing such a high amount of devotion to automotive beauty!

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph Spitfire, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual.
