People don’t like Lucy? Not the greatest comedienne, perhaps, but very good. Granted, her series without Desi did suck, but the original is a classic (although somewhat dated by attitudes towards women of that era).

I wouldn’t say “don’t like”.

More like hate/can’t stand. I find her just about universally unappealing and she grates on my very last nerve within about 5 seconds of opening her mouth.

Steve Irwin. I found his persona irritating  
[/QUOTE]

Oh hurrah, me too… never liked his “in your face” behaviour towards wild animals, I likened him to Timmy-like-the-girls “Grizzly Man” and was savaged for it (ooh pun!!)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Ricky Gervais… not funny. :dubious:

And took money from good people that could have gone to really helping people and not just getting Mom into heaven.  
[/QUOTE]

If there is a heaven (not something that I personally believe) I really doubt “Mother” Teresa is there with the saints. Someone at the gates would look at her and say “You’re kidding, right?” and zap her ass down to the depths.
