The 50 Most Loathsome People In America

Unread postby AlCzervik » Tue 24 Jan 2006, 16:27:34

They take some great shots at Tom Cruise, Mr. World is Flat Friedman and obviously the Bush admin. There's some truth in this, too:

4. You

Charges: Silently enabling and contributing to the irreversible destruction of your planet. Absolving yourself of your responsibility to do anything about it that your immediate neighbors don’t. Assuming that it’s normal behavior to spend several hours each day totally inert and staring into a cathode ray tube. Substituting antidepressants for physical motion. Caring more about the personal relationships of people you will never meet than your own. Shrugging your shoulders at the knowledge that your government is populated by criminal liars intent on fooling you into impoverished, helpless submission. Cheering this process on.

Exhibit A: You don’t even know who your congressman is.

Sentence: Deathbed realization that your entire life was an unending series of stupid mistakes and wasted opportunities, a priceless gift of potential extravagantly squandered, for which you deserve nothing but scorn or, at best, indifference, and a cold, meaningless demise.

Man, that is eerily too close. I'm guessing #1 is Negative Nancy.

Great link Al.Hilarious.I think Paul Wolfowitz and Jesse James (Monster Garage) should have made the list but then there's only 50 spots and SO many perfect fits.

You have an LCD monitor?

I still have a Cathode Ray Tube monitor like in the "You" description.

Excuse me. I need to go spend some time with my kids.
