Would be a lousy waste of perfectly good ammunition!
I never noticed this before but those 2 had the same haircut. I think it was the Dorothy Hamill look. Unfortunately, I had that too back then but I was 6.


All the pics below are circa 1976. Cover your eyes Dennis


Here's Dorothy

Yes well they were a great waste of air time on my radio too. I haven't listened to a radio station in years ( hugging ipod)
Can't argue with you about the waste of radio space. Except for listening to news programs, I don't listen to the radio much anymore myself. I have an I-Pod as well, and I think you will probasbly be with me on this when I say it's been a lifesaver over the years! YAY!

A bit late to this event, but here goes.  I based it on the 'turn off' factor.. people who I'd race to change the channel if they turned up on the tele:
  • Tony Abbott (our last prime minister, who just got booted out..)  He knighted Prince Phillip (what the??), stated that a woman's virginity is ''the greatest gift you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving'' and he appointed himself minister for women..
        He's like our own little Trump.. who of course is also on my list. And you may as well throw in Palin
  • Johnny Depp  .. and not because of the dog issue.   I used to look at him and swoon but now I can't look at all.. he's gone all grumpy and pudgy and boozy.  What a terrible waste! (so sorry @nurseangel
    )
  • Boris Johnson (the Mayor of London).  I just don't like him.  And what is it with the hair?  He's definitely got a Trump thing going.

  • Russell Crowe  He says really weird or inane stuff and takes himself so seriously. I can't watch any interviews with him. He can act, though.

  • Mel Gibson         (see above)

  • All commercial news readers.  I'm sure they have a factory with a prototype and they just keep pushing them out.
I'm sure there are many, many more.

Newscasters used to read the news they weren't personal opinion machines. They did not spend 10 minutes of the hour reporting on Johnny Depp, Russell Crowe or any of their Hollywood cousins. Weathermen did not need to give a failed stand up routine while skipping your area completely. For years I had t watch the weather with the sound off and captions on. Now I just use a weather app and skip the local news altogether.

For the record, I LOVED Dorothy Hamil's haircut!

I can't stand Mariah Carey's diva attitude. I read she has an assistant to lift her drink AND straw to her lips while signing autographs!!! What, she can't hold her own drink?? Why not have someone else sign for you, if you're that trifling?

Jada Pinkett Smith and her kids.....,

If you mention her, you gotta mention Will Smith as well. Those are his kids too.

Roger Goodell, NFL commissioner. Could there be any other league official, in any American sport, as clueless as this jerk?
For some reason Will doesn't bother me as much. :dk:

As fr as Goodell, look at my location. How do you think I feel about him? ;)

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Glen Beck, Al Sharpton, Al Franken, Ann Colter. They all need to take a long walk off of a very short pier, preferably into shark infested waters.

NJ Gov. Chris Christie

Something about him, maybe it's just the look on his face or something, makes me want to slap the fire out of him!

And along those lines, former mayor of Toronto Rob Ford. Enough has been mentioned about his drug use and flappable leadership qualities. What would happen if Chris Farley had become the mayor of a large metropolitan area? Pretty much what Rob Ford did as mayor. What a loon. Toronto didn't derserve that mess.

Martin Shkreli - arrogant "Pharma Bro", who raised the price of a life saving medication 5000%.  For him, the German word "backpfeifengesicht"  which means "face that needs punching" was invented.

That was pretty insane. They should have condemned the patent and seized it Eminent domain. Probably not possible but it should be in a case like that.
