piles of nonsensical nominations of ridiculous people by ridiculous people. I suppose since the prize itself contemplates broader possibilities as to what promoting world peace means, they have to accept nominations from a wider universe of "experts," but it must have been pretty tedious to sift through so much bullshit to winnow the list down to a dozen or so people or organizations they could discuss with straight faces.
