Bethberry's protest was lodged with the Academy of Thread Names.

"We take these concerns very seriously," said a member of the Academy, who declined to be identified. She confirmed that 'Draught' has been temporarily suspended from the nominations during the investigation. (Associated Press)

The scandal has threatened to throw the nominations into disrepute. "These contests are all rigged," complained one fan, " 'A Rough Draught of a Topic' is clearly one of the best topics on the Downs. Who cares why he started it? But it's all about who you know in this industry. The Brits never get a fair shake."

On Friday morning, members of MAP gathered outside the Academy to protest the thread's use of gratuitous puns. "It's ammoral! I don't want my children exposed to such language," said Helen Eucre as she faced into the camera, "We're praying for you, Mr. Rimbaud."

The President of the Academy of Thread Names is expected to hold a press conference this evening at 7pm, PDT.
