People who, if I ran into them in public, would have to be punched in the face (even though I am a pacifist).

John Baird, Stockwell Day, Jason Kenney, and the rest of Stephen Harper’s merry band of asshats. Joe Francis. Any man who was ever a Bachelor. The convenience store owner near my office who decided to tell me me “didn’t trust Asians, because they are thieves.”. Radio shock jocks. Guys who insist on doing horrifically bad Borat impressions. Tim Hardaway. The inventor of air sex. Toronto city councillor Rob Ford. Mark Burnett (for starting the whole grotesque mess in the first place). Whomever created the abomination known as Pocari Sweat.

I can’t maintain this level of negativity, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pick up the slack. Who do you think deserves a bop on the nose for their contributions (or lack of) to society?

I'm still a bachelor, sorry?

(I assume I may be glad I don't know any of those.)

Even as a fellow pacifist I have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post, to the point where I'm going to copy it (with my own punch-worthy list) on my own personal blog - but don't worry I'll give credit to you for the original idea :)

Good call on all fronts Neil! Believe it or not, I went to high school with one of the bachelors. I would add:

- Paris Hilton & Celine Dion
- Rick the Temp (ever seen him on Entertainment Tonight?)
- anyone that has anything to do w/ MTV

P.S
You are a thief!

i'd add bill o'reilly, donnie (rumsfeld and trump), and the unctuous, lying fart who called me "princess" and practically pinched my cheek when he assured me moving across the border with a new car would be "no problem". i'd also second the inventor of realplayer.

i guess every list is a little personal. but if stephen's there, it's only fair to add george, tony and shinzo. no country has a monopoly on megalomaniacs.

personally, i'm warming up to the idea that you can punch somebody and still call yourself a pacifist as long as you don't kill the jerk.

but how about some love? i'd give an otherworldy thumbs-up to mr. noodle.

How do you differentiate the title of this blog entry from Imus? Even if you're trying to be funny, you're no different from Imus now because you're using violence to be funny. Shocking?

Anyone using the pretence of democracy to push through anti-democratic measurements.

Uh…

I (especially) agree with your comment about the convenience store owner. I hate ignorant shit heads like that. There should be a law preventing them from breeding.

I aso thought it strange that someone would name a drink "Pocari Sweat". Did the inventor really want people to associate the drink with a bodily fluid?

But, of course, the really story is that in Japan (where Pocari Sweat is sold) people speak very little English, and don't associate the word sweat with anything. Actually, they do: the recognize it as being English, and therefore the word instantly acquires a special status. The same goes for words that sound French, Italian etc.

Now, how about Calpis?

On the other hand. Or fist, as it were:

- Al Gore, and the rest of the global warming scam artists
- The New York Times, and the rest of the Recessive media, for proving that crap flows downstream
- Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Chuck Schumer, John Kerry, etc., for giving aid and comfort to the enemy
- George W. Bush and the GOP, for wimping out and absolutely blowing the best chance since Reagan to clean out the socialistic cobwebs in the US government and statutes
