Oslo, Norway – In the prestigious history of the Nobel Peace Prize, 89 have been awarded to 119 Nobel Laureates between 1901 and 2008. Of that, the Prize was awarded 96 times to individuals and 23 times to organizations. In another stunning move, on consecutive years, the Nobel Foundation awarded it’s peace prize to it’s first inanimate object.
What won? Sony’s PS3. Read on.
Sony’s Jack Tretton was awoken this morning with news that the PS3 had won the Nobel Peace Prize. Stunned and dazed due to a lack of morning coffee, Tretton said that he was “stunned” and “humbled” to have the inanimate object that he has been a part of for some time be honored in such a way.
Nobel Foundation spokesperson Olaff Flounderssonn said of the award “we wanted to award the PS3 for it’s promise of a better tomorrow and the hope that it has instilled. Sure, it hasn’t actually done anything to promote peace, but it did meet several requirements for the prize.”
The stated requirements, besides the whole “peace” thing were:
- Drawing media attention to the Nobel Foundation.
- Being universally liked in Europe.
- Being an indecisive inanimate object.
When asked what similarities the PS3 had with it’s previous winners, Flounderssonn said, “well, the PS3 is certainly black and popular, however the PS3 is trying to help cure cancer with it’s Folding@Home program… That’s more than I can say for last year’s winner.”

Great article Lono. I’ve just heard that Obama was given the Nobel Prize for Chemistry this year after mixing himself a whisky and Red Bull.
If he can only find a coin inside the sofa, the Economics Nobel is his also!
Lono would whine if Obama won a BET award….
