It's not been a good week for Morrissey. First, his debut novel, List Of The Lost, won this year's Bad Sex In Fiction award ("bulbous salutation" is just one of many awful quotes from the book) - and then he compared the Transportation Security Administration to ISIS.
Back in August, Morrissey accused a security officer at San Francisco Airport of sexual assault, saying the officer "stopped me, crouched before me and groped my penis and testicles."
A TSA spokesperson subsequently denied Morrissey's accusations, saying, "The supervised officer followed standard operating procedures in the screening of the individual."
In a new statement on his website, Morrissey wrote, "TSA have ignored my official and legal and constitutional complaint. From this we gather that TSA stands for Thorough Sexual Assault. If you are traveling through San Francisco International Airport you must be ready for a full sexual attack by people who claim to have your interests at heart. It is unlikely that ISIS would stoop so low."
Meanwhile, the singer's novel List Of The Lost won the Bad Sex Award last night (2 December), thanks to passages such as this:
"At this, Eliza and Ezra rolled together into one giggling snowball of full-figured copulation, screaming and shouting as they playfully bit and pulled at each other in a dangerous and clamorous rollercoaster coil of sexually violent rotation with Eliza’s breasts barrel-rolled across Ezra’s howling mouth and the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating his excitement as it whacked and smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza’s body except for the otherwise central zone."
