@’Pong: That’s weird, for some reason your comment was tagged as spam and I only found it this morning. That’s a shame. I would have liked to have ranted about Khun Thaksin for a while.

@Scott Swabey “fucktartitude” is a cracker! Think I’ll back @mpesce with Oprah, although South Australia looks like a goer with Tom Koutsantonis AND Penny Wong. . .

I nominate everybody who has a direct or indirect affect on my life. You are all stopping me from moving forwards with my plan for an early retirement with your continual fucktarditude.

I realise this is an esoteric nomination, but I’ve had a bad day, so fuck it.

PS – love the show

I nominate Miss California, who was asked about gay marriage at the Miss USA competition by media sensation and gay rights activist Perez Hilton.

Miss California’s response: “I believe marriage is between a man and a woman.”

She went from frontrunner to runner-up pretty damn fast.

Obviously, I have to vote for Thaksin Shinawatra, the exiled former Thai Prime Minister, who is holding back the tide of democracy by using too much of the word ‘true democracy’ in his interview with international media.

i guess it could be considered a Cyber Attack, although it should be seen as common Vandalism, and not something as complicated as a cyber attack.

At the risk of saying “me too”, I second that nomination. Beaten to the punch by Wolfcat.

It’s obvious: Oprah. For having the temerity to join Twitter and gather half a million followers in the first week. What’s she holding the tide against? The legitimate use of Twitter as a peer-to-peer social medium. Twitter can’t be just rock stars and celebutards. But with Oprah’s bad behaviour — constructing an entire show around Twitter — she’s done more to damage the brand than any other Twitterer. Ever.

How about “HR Professionals”? European training survey shows HR and training holding back change — http://is.gd/tQP1

If i could rant about HR like Bill Hicks rants about Marketers… I would… But I’d not do the rant justice..

Cnut on!

I vote for Karl Rove for complaining that with the release of the torture memos, “all of these techniques have now been ruined.” http://adjix.com/f5qq

Penny Wong for continuing with her take-it-or-get-nothing response to catastrophic climate change. We need a catastrophic ministerial change.
