(CNN) -- The European Union won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday as it grapples with the worst crisis since its founding -- devastating debt and the threat of disintegration.
The prestigious award was a salute to the struggling 27-nation union for its work in promoting democracy and reconciliation since World War II.
It was a cheer for an entity tackling the continent's economic misery -- particularly in debt-ridden Greece, Spain, and Portugal -- as some member countries might be faced with dropping the euro, the EU currency.

However, due to austerity cuts, the Nobel Prize is just a really shiny penny presented down at the Luby's this year.

So the trick is to create your own crisis- and then grapple with it. The union and the euro = LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Didnt Obama get a peace prize after/right before gettin to war making? wtf is with this prize.

Kicking the shit out of each other used to be our favourite pastime before the EU came along, so I guess I can see where they're coming from.

This is starting to remind me of Time's Man of the Year - next year maybe the prize will go to "You"
