With Father's Day not long passed, Product Junkie was most disturbed to discover that Homer Simpson and Tony Soprano are two of the top three fictional characters most UK adults would like to have as their dad. Surely there are better role models on our screens?
In a poll by Daddies Sauce from Heinz, Springfield's most famous resident finished second with 19% of the vote, while the mobster filled the third spot. However neither could compete with the runaway winner, intrepid adventurer Indiana Jones who topped the list with a massive 42% of the vote.
Back in the real world England Captain and father of three-year-old twins, John Terry has carried off the 2009 Daddies Sauces Dad of the Year award beating last year's winner Peter Andre into second place.
Terry, who narrowly missed the twins' birth despite a frantic dash from the England training camp in Portugal still in his kit, is reported to have said: "It's a great honour to be voted dad of the year. I have won many trophies in my career but I'm proud to say that this is up there with all of them."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Prime Minister Gordon Brown didn't fare too well with just 5% of the vote, a drop from 13% last year.
