Coral of Real World Las Vegas- My dear, being a strong person does not equal steamrollering everyone around you.

Paris and Nicky Hilton- You are rich, not special, now get away from the camera.

Donald Trump-Go fire yourself. Do not pass go and do not collect the $200. Do not land on free parking. Go straight to hell.

Shaquille O’Neal-- You are an overgrown douchebag who gets away with more fouls than anyone in the NBA.

I can’t tell you how much I agree. Will Ferrell makes my skin crawl.

Let me start by saying I don’t like Letterman. I think he’s a sleaze and a pervert and a very unfunny man. Perhaps once he was a great talk show host, I do not know. I can only assume he was, because otherwise that show would surely have been cancelled years ago instead of, like Saturday Night Live, staggering on despite lacking any reason to do so anymore. No, I do not like Mr Letterman…but I do not loathe him. His only crime is believing his own publicity.

Which brings me to the person I **hate** … \*really \* really hatespewvomitwanttocrushtoittybittypieces - that little toad whose sole purpose in life is to suck up to Letterman. That spineless lackey masquerading as a band leader. A man who seemingly has no function but to lick Letterman’s shoes and reassure him how great he is, how funny he is.

A weak, repulsive little man. A lickspittle. How I loathe him. I loathe him so much I cannot ever remember his name, THAT’S how much I loathe him. **He angers me so much that it drives all coherent thought from my head and all I can think is something along the lines of "HULK KILL’ when confronted with the fact of his existence.**

I’m going to stop now before I get really carried away.

Besides, I can’t afford to keep replacing these purple shorts all the time.

Could not agree more. Who told her she could sing? I don’t know what her vocal range is, but she sings every note as if she were straining 3 notes beyond it.

The sad thing is she is either a good songwriter (or knows some good ones). If only we could get someone else to record them.

I’m not even gonna mention the political and pundit/“journalist” figures on my list. Just don’t need to be that angry today.

Something about it completely screams smug, middle-management Office Fuck.

Wasn’t Mohammad Atta wearing one of those in the securtiy camera footage taken on September 11?

Ahh, [here it is](http://archives.cnn.com/2002/US/09/06/ar911.hijackers.final.days/). Not quite what you’re describing, but it is a bluey.

Anyway, I have many, but I’ll just concentrate on Jerry Bruckheimer. My SO and I were watching a documentary on film editing when he came on the screen. I asked her to pause it on his picture, then I proceeded to remove my pants and wave my cock and balls in his face, screaming insults until my SO’s laughter started to interfere with her breathing.

Damn, I love DVRs!

Her “rationale” (and I use that term very loosely) for this was that “‘Apple’ is beautiful and sweet.’”

Well, so is “pear.” And “kiwi.” But who the hell names their kids after produce?

I have a group presentation due today. We began as a group of four people. Three of us have busted our asses getting this stupid thing put together. The fourth skipped meetings and didn’t do much of anything, even after we asked repeatedly for his information so we could incorporate it into out mandatory PowerPoint. Nothing.

Until this morning. The asshole sends it to me at 3 am. I don’t have time to incorporate his stuff into our PowerPoint; that would involve skipping class, and I can’t afford to do that.

I want this guy to get the lowest grade imaginable. Thank Og for group self-assessments.

Craig Kilborne and Jimmy Kimmel. These two are not just regular, late-night no-talents like Jay Leno and Dave Letterman. They are actively anti-talent, non-funny, self-important pieces of shit who i can’t even stand to look at.

Anyone who works as a “reporter” for shows like _Entertainment Tonight, E!, Celebrity Justice,_ or any other celebrity “news” show You people actually think that the crap you cover is important. Get a life.

And you. Yes you. The people who watch those shows. You’re on the list too.

Add all of my usual political suspects to the list here as well.

And just add Ashton Kutcher for good measure.

Every single rat-bastard billionaire businessman who ever outsourced a job overseas.

Every single rat-bastard billionaire businessman who ever gave himself a $20 million bonus, for downsizing 200 workers with families.

Every single rat-bastard billionaire businessman who ever corrupted a government official for personal financial gain.

Every single rat-bastard billionaire businessman that mergered with another firm, & then “discovered” that the old firm’s pension fund had “just vanished” \<shrugs shoulders\>!

In short, I’ve got it in for every single rat-bastard billionaire businessman.

They stole our American dream, & pawned it. :mad: :mad:

Letterman a “sleaze”? A “pervert”? Where did you get that impression? Are you privy to some information that nobody outside of his inner circle knows?

I was going to respond with equal snark, but really, what’s the point? So, since you asked…

I’m basing it on the way he treats the attractive young actresses who come on his show. More than old enough to be their grandfather, he leers at them, attempts to be flirtatious (but it comes across as sleazing and patronising all at once), and just generally grosses me out. Regardless of how big a fan you may be of the man, the sleazing is so overt I fail to see how anyone could miss it.

As for ‘pervert’, well, admittedly I’m not suggesting he’s sexually warped in any illegal fashion, but I do think it’s perverted for any grandfatherly aged man to ogle a woman he’s barely met. I’m sure if he layed it on as thick with the men in his interviews you’d notice soon enough.

Maybe I’ve not seen enough of his shows to make a balanced judgment. Maybe the ones I’ve seen have been him at his worst.

Regardless, I do find the man repellent and that kind of opinion, **NDP** , is what the whole thread entitled ‘Who do you have it in for?’ is about, as per the very first paragraph in the OP:
