Sarah Palin. And no, it’s not entirely due to her politics: She looks like she was molded out of plastic. ---

I clicked on this thread in order to suggest Kim Jong-Il, and that’s my vote. (But I wonder why no one’s mentioned Mahmoud Ahmadinejad yet? Must be the Member’s Only jackets… or the fact that he at least stays in shape.) ---

Pat “Squints” Robertson. They may be uglier people out there, but when it comes to soulless parasites that have spread hatred far and wide, he’s on the top of my list. ---

Why the hate for Ms. Hilton? I wouldn’t put her on the top 10 women I’d like to do, but I don’t know why she’d be the #1 person on Earth you wouldn’t have sex with. I haven’t seen her sex tapes, is she an uninspired lover? Is it her personality? Or do people find her hideous to look at?
