Celebrity Dad of the Year shortlist released, surely a piss take?

Bad of the year

Mon, 17/05/2010 - 16:56 by

This 'Celebrity Dad of the Year' competition, held by Bounty (neither the chocolate bar or the kitchen towel) has to be the most pointless award ceremony of all time. Half of the nominees included in the shortlist would have probably made it into our joke list for the best famous fathers. Which just makes us pass the whole thing off as one big joke in itself...

They may as well have just gone the whole hog and put Michael Lohan, John Terry and Peter Griffin up for the prize.

Here's the fifteen names of the celebrity dads who have apparently "impressed the nation by balancing a hectic public life with demands of parenting"...

1. Ronan Keating - Yawn
2. Peter Andre - Better than Alex Reid
3. Mark Owen - Ha!
4. Vernon Kay - Ha!
5. Jeff Brazier - Fair enough
6. Ryan Thomas - Who?
7. Gordon Brown - Who?
8. David Cameron - He runs our lives now as well as his kids' :(
9. Frank Lampard - Compulsory footballer #1
10. Wayne Rooney - Compulsory footballer #2
11. Steven Gerrard - Compulsory footballer #3
12. Jamie Oliver - He probably feeds them well
13. Gavin Henson - Yawn
14. Gary Barlow - Yawn
15. Ben Shepard - Zzzzzz

The thing is, the people who compiled that list have probably never seen any of these men at work as a Dad before. For all they know, Wayne Rooney could poke his son with a stick and order him to bring him pot noodles without saying please.

The winner will be announced at an exclusive presentation ceremony in London the 17th of June. We can't wait.

What, no Fritzl?
That's an outrage!
Who do I write to?
I mean he's a dad right plus we all know who he (one of the criterias surely for being a sleb) so surely...

Brilliant..funniest thing i've seen in ages.
What were they thinking??

Tee hee!

You know what I find odd - all these 'not particularly famous' celebs who have beards. Nowadays, in order to pre-empt any suspicions of being a mo, the 'star' in question is set up with a young lady/womb while they're still presenting from the Broom Cupboard (or whatever the equivalent is now). Ben Shepard is literally so boring that I'm sure nobody's even noticed the little gimp on the GMTV sofa.

Ben Shephard's a dad? Surely not. I can't imagine that vapid magnolia dullard having sex. The closest he comes to orgasm is getting double Clubcard points.

Ha ! bingo. You can just see it now "Errr love I'm just gonna go and spend 4 months in a boat on my own with this other chappy that I fagged for at school, just me, him and the open ocean but there's nothing going on ok...why are you crying ?"

Ben Shepard should win the award for Least Convincing Marriage - he's as straight as Walliams

What, that's Mark Owen on the left? I thought it was a gyppo.

So for best celeb father read, 'men who haven't fucked off quite yet.' I'd like to say all men are cunts and so this award is founded on a lie but then Katona and Price have both won Mother of the year ,so it turns out that women are cunts as well. Scottish chap in Dad's Army was right, we are all doomed.

If Gerrard wins Bounty should demand a paternity test.

Retro gets it on the fucking money

By "Celebrity Dad of the Year", I think they mean "He doesn't beat his kids in public, but, more importantly, he's attractive to my feeble little mind!"

I'm just surprised Josef Fritzl didn't make it amongst such luminaries...

No Dwight Yorke then?
