And the winner of the worst writing of 2008 is ...

Garrison Spik, a 41-year-old communications director and writer, took top honors in San Jose State University's 26th annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest with this opening sentence to a nonexistent novel:

"Theirs was a New York love, a checkered taxi ride burning rubber, and like the city their passion was open 24/7, steam rising from their bodies like slick streets exhaling warm, moist, white breath through manhole covers stamped 'Forged by DeLaney Bros., Piscataway, N.J."'

wow. again, i am shocked and impressed. i mean, this little piece of writing is horrible on so many levels. it's difficult to read, makes little sense, uses unpleasant and confusing imagery... yeah, this is a hellacious, rotten piece of writing.
