Mr Damian is proud to announce sponsorship of National Pork Pie Week, which launches today in London.

The week, designed to promote the gorgeous taste of these fat filled pastry heart attacks, is being launched by Mr Damian as we attempt to run the London Marathon dressed as a pork pie.

Serious, and unserious contendors alike compete in the London Snickers

Other events during the course of the week designed to raise awareness of this nutrionally balanced snack include buxom blondes standing outside the Houses of Parliament and a traditional pork pie throwing contest at Lands End in Cornwall.

Mr Damian has generously put up prize money of £1 million for anyone who manages to sink a Cornish fishing trawler with a pork pie handgrenade. Similar prize money is avilable to those who hit leading British politicians whilst they are on the eletion stump.

Lethal in the right hands

Roger Mowbray, President of the UK Pork Pie Manufacturers Association, said he was delighted at Mr Damian's sponsorship. "We've been trying to raise the profile of pork pies for years" he said, "but people don't seem to be very interested in them. Now with Mr Damian's help we're putting this delicious snack back in the public consciousness."

In turn Mr Damian speaking from inside his pork pie costume as he started the race, said he was delighted to promote a product he avidly consumed, adding that the only thing that was going to keep him going for the next 26 miles was the thought of a large pie at the end of it.

Mr Damian currently has joggers nipple, and only six toenails.
