Q Award Coldplay joke

Q magazine prove their readers are all 48-year-old accountants who once played the glockenspiel by handing out two (two!) awards to the snoozefest that is Coldplay. They won one award for “Best Album” and then, in some warped comedic climax, “Best Act in the World.” Oh my sh***ing God! “Best Act in the local boozer in Southend”, I could understand. The WORLD, however, is an entirely different matter. More worthy recipients of an award included The Cocteau Twins who got a prize for inspiration, which sounds nice, but really is like getting a powdery kiss and a pet on the head by your gran, who slips a 10p in to your hand as you leave her house. Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds missed out, but I’m guessing the Prince of Darkness needs endorsement from a bunch of Oasis fans like he needs a hole in his evil genius head.
