I’ve compiled a few of my favorite moments from 2010. Some are awesome sauce and some are better left forgotten.
Happy New Year!

Best use of recording equipment:
Oksana Grigorieva
Oksana will never win any awards for her singing, but she should win a Grammy for her incredible recordings this year. Mel Gibson’s drunken rampages were brilliant and illuminating. We never really knew you before Mel. Now that we do we hope that you suffer the same fate as William Wallace. http://newscorchedearth.com/index.php/uncensored-mel-gibson-audio-tape-mel-hates-everyone-it-appears/
Best use of recycling bin:
U.K.Cat Lady
A British woman was caught on video throwing a friendly cat into a garbage container. The video showed Lola, a four-year-old rescued tabby, strolling on the street in front of her house when a grey-haired woman stopped to pet and stroke her. The woman grabbed Lola by the scruff of her neck, opened a nearby garbage can, tossed the cat inside and shut the lid. The video then shows the woman calmly walking away.
Best Airline Employee:
Steven Slater.
Mr. Slater is a modern day Hero. The jetBlue flight attendant had been injured by a passengers falling bag and was then insulted by the same passenger. Upon landing Slater grabbed the plane’s public address system told everyone to F*** off and quit his job on the spot. He then deployed the evacuation slide, grabbed two cold beers and slid down it. this guy should be made the CEO of the company as far as I’m concerned.
Best way to annoy the Globe
Vuvuzelas
The Vuvuzela (pronunciation: /vuːvuːˈzɛlə/), also known as lepatata (its Tswana name), is a plastic horn, around 65-centimetre (2 ft) long, that produces a loud monotone note, typically around B♭3[1] (the B♭ below middle C In other words having 80,000 of these horrific noise makers going at once is enough to make a Nun commit serial homicide.
Best sign of the apocalypse:
Glenn Beck
Here are just a few of Glenn Beck’s claims, all proven completely false by Pulitzer Prize winning site politifact.com:
Labor union president Andy Stern is “most frequent visitor” at the White House.
Less than 10% of Obama’s Cabinet appointees “have any experience in the private sector.”
“Mitt Romney … gave you government health care that is now bankrupting the state” of Massachusetts.
Forty-five percent of doctors “say they’ll quit” if health care reform passes.
“Why do we have automatic citizenship upon birth? We’re the only country in the world that has it.”
“In the health care bill, we’re now offering insurance for dogs.”
John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, “has proposed forcing abortions and putting sterilants in the drinking water to control population.”
Franklin Roosevelt never allocated more than 12 percent of GDP to federal spending, while the percentage for Barack Obama is not projected to drop below 22.8 percent.
Chile ranks third internationally in economic freedom, while the U.S. ranks 17th.
Mr. Beck doesn’t care if what he says is true, as long as it incites hatred and fear. This pig will say and do anything as long as he is cashing in on the simple minded fools that tune into his clown show. Beck made 32 million dollars in 09! Are we really this stupid as a nation? I weep just like you Glenn. I weep for the future.
Worst Ruling ever
Supreme Court overturns ban on direct corporate spending.
Kicking the new year off like the turds they are, the Supreme Court overturned a century-old restriction on corporations using their money to sway federal elections on Jan 21st. They ruled that companies have a free-speech right to spend as much as they wish to persuade voters to elect or defeat candidates for Congress and the White House. In a 5-4 decision, the court’s conservative bloc said corporations have the same 1st Amendment rights as individuals and, for that reason, the government may not stop corporations from spending freely to influence the outcome of federal elections.So this is the United States of Corporate America now?? Our founding fathers me be rolling over in their fucking graves.
Worst Event Idea
Florida Church Plans “Burn the Koran” Day
The Dove World Outreach Center of Gainsville Fl said It was hosting the Kuran burning event to remind of us 9-11 These fools got a ton of Global publicity showing the world that we still have an over abundance of inbred assholes in this country.
Worst Parenting Technique:
Torry-Ann Hansen
Little Artem Saveliev was last year taken from a grim orphanage and given a new life in Tennessee last year. But after a few days his adoptive mother Torry-Ann Hansen, a 34-year-old nurse, put him on a ten-hour flight as an unaccompanied minor with a note ‘to whom it may concern’ saying: ‘I no longer wish to parent this child’.
Worst Political Protest fail
Tea Party signs
Ahh the Tea Party… This nation has never seen a more dysfunctional and under educated political group. I thank them for their “Teabonics” and endless comedy.
Worst Apple Hyped announcement
The Beatles on iTunes
Steve Jobs acted as though this was Apple’s equivalent of man walking on the moon, but the only people who cared about this “revolution” were those who hadn’t already transferred all the songs from albums — and Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the estates of John Lennon and George Harrison. Yawn……
Worst waste of hot air
Ground Zero Mosque Controversy
So much time and foolishness were spent on this topic. People would talk about the “Sanctity” of Ground Zero. Most of them too ignorant to realize you can buy porn ,Hit a Peep Show, play the ponies and take care of all manner of personal business within steps of the former World Trade Center.
