The winner of this year’s coveted Nobel Peace Prize was announced in Norway this morning, with frontrunner Julian Assange losing to a trio of African women activists.
Assange’s website WikiLeaks had made global contributions to peace by exposing corruption, war crimes and torture — but word is they upset the voting panel by ruining Christmas for children worldwide.
On December 23, 2010, Assange published documents from a North Pole whistle-blower proving that Santa Claus doesn’t exist.
“He made my grandson cry, which is the opposite of what this award stands for,” said Thorbjorn Jagland, a former Norwegian prime minister who heads the Oslo-based Nobel committee that chooses the winner of the $1.5 million prize. “Payback’s a bitch, Assange!”
