As if it couldn't get any more rediculous

It's called the "Nobel Peace Prize".

This has got to be the least surprising prizes ever. Uncontroversial and a proper job from Jagland. Now, if he could only learn to speak English....

Start writing better jokes.

Also, I find it extremely funny how many people hint to corruption and such. Ah well, it's just the anti-EU folks, and fortunately their opinions are irrelevant to the world.

It's questionable to give these prizes to institutions, rather than actual persons.

That said, it's still better than the one they gave to Obama right after his inauguration

Which organizations are you referring to? The Red Cross? Medicines sans frontiers? Nansens refugee organization? The comittee to ban landmines?

Also, Obama had been president for almost a year when it was awarded. And he had certainly more concrete results than Liu Xiaobo, for example, who had zero accomplishments, yet was universally applauded(and rightfully so).

Those are good organisations; once you accept that nobel prizes can go to organisations and not just persons than most of those would deserve one at one point or another. And the EU probably deserves one too.

He had been in office for a while when it was actually awarded, but at the time he was nominated he hadn't basicly done anything of note. AFAIK it was more about his commitment to diplomacy than any material accomplishments.
