My brother actually took that exact picture into the hairdresser a couple of weeks ago. It looked awesome then, and it looks awesome now. I am, however, crossing my fingers that he avoids the whole “murderous dictator” phase.

I’ve always thought that in [this picture](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/54/Ted_Bundy_3.jpg) he looked like a cross between Pauly Shore and Peter Sarsgaard (two actors that could pass for brothers anyway).

Maybe Ted Bundy was the third Shore/Sarsgaard brother?

In addition to having the wrong photo, that Top Tenz site is riddled with misspellings, run-on sentences, and awkward usage. Is it maintained by ten-year-olds or something?

Since Bundy’s paternity has never been established, he could be related to either of them.

Gadhafi was actually quite good looking as a young man. Time Life even has a [spread on it](http://www.life.com/gallery/56781/image/51400852#index/0).

As was [Hafez Assad](http://www.martinkramer.org/sandbox/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Asad1973.jpg) (though he is infamous only from a Western perspective).

_looks at pics of Young Stalin_ _fans self_

Though I’ve always been a [V.I. Lenin](http://sp1.fotolog.com/photo/33/27/100/charliepartisano/1213092344103_f.jpg) girl - to me he just personifies the words “handsome devil” with a touch of “sinister Professor” tossed in.

Still, I might have to change up my “Most-fuckable-Red” list…

I concur. I went trying to find a picture of the Manson Family’s Susan Atkins, who was quite attractive in an innocent looking cute way. But the picture in my mind is nowhere close to the hags and ghouls on the Yahoo! Image Search pages. So I’ll ditto your Bonnie.
