Xavier Rudd named least sickly vegetarian

REUTERS: Actor Abbie Cornish and musician Xavier Rudd have been crowned Australia's Least Sickly Looking Vegetarians for 2008.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) claim tens of thousands of people voted in the poll - if you can believe a word of what they say.

Rudd, who has eaten so many vegetables he is starting to grow grass from his head, said the award was a great honour.

"Would you thank the people who voted for me?" Rudd said. "The sun is behind a cloud and I have no energy."

Rung for comment, Cornish is understood to have been unable to get to the phone before it rang out.


MM's note: If anyone can find any online evidence that PETA Australia really had a poll attracting tens of thousands of votes, they are doing better than me.
