Virtual Flaneurism

Check out the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, which looks for each year's worst sentence in a range of genres. The winner:

"For the first month of Ricardo and Felicity's affair, they greeted one another at every stolen rendezvous with a kiss--a lengthy, ravenous kiss, Ricardo lapping and sucking at Felicity's mouth as if she were a giant cage-mounted water bottle and he were the world's thirstiest gerbil."

My favorite:
