After widespread protest in the United States, the RSAS announced that it was withdrawing the Nobel prize for literature recently awarded to Harold Pinter.

"After reviewing our decision to award the prize for literature to Mr. Pinter we realized we made a huge error in judgement- Mr. Pinters political views could be offensive to a small minority of people- namely the United States. We strongly regret any insult caused by our error, and wish to acknowledge that literature should never be in any way contrivercial or offensive to anyone.

The new winner of the literature award reflects this view- Jimmey Stewart is the winner for his poem "Beau".

Beau
He never came to me when I would call
Unless I had a tennis ball,
Or he felt like it,
But mostly he didn't come at all.

When he was young
He never learned to heel
Or sit or stay,
He did things his way.

Discipline was not his bag
But when you were with him things sure didn't drag.
He'd dig up a rosebush just to spite me,
And when I'd grab him, he'd turn and bite me.
