Catherine's Thoughts

That's what she said!


Am I allowed to say Douchebag on the radio?

Sunday, December 14, 2008

I didn’t, but it seems like it is becoming a more tolerable word.  A fairly reputable UK publication, The Guardian, has posted a list of the 12 biggest Douchebags of 2008.  It is an international who’s who of Douchebags and we can be proud that a Canadian has been included among them.  Here is the list as it is posted on The Guardian website.

Nickelback's Chad Kroeger  Self-important drunk driver and propagator of the worst music ever. With bad hair.

Noel Gallagher  Called the Guardian "spotty Herberts"; said hip-hop didn't belong at Glastonbury. Douche.

Nicolas Sarkozy  Good God, man, will you put her away just for a second?

Sarah Palin's advisors  "What you need to do, Sarah, to communicate your folksy down-home attributes, is wink a lot. The world will love it."

Mattel Games  You took away our Scrabulous. For this, you must surely die.

The 'hopper' in The Wire who shot Omar  How could you do it? HOW COULD YOU? You ruined everything!

Everyone on Eggheads  Oh, just answer the questions instead of giving us a detailed etymology of the answer, you douchenerds.

Madonna  Nobody judges you for getting divorced. But using your mega-concerts to have a pop at your ex … It's just MEAN.

A banker  Any banker. Any banker at all.

Soulja Boy For doing a shout out to "the slave masters! Because without them we'd still be in Africa." Eek!

Timmy Mallett  Although to be fair we didn't need a TV show to tell us that.

Andrew Sachs  Well it got the BBC a lot of publicity, let's see if it works for the Guide.

I've got to confess that I don't recognize a few of those names.  It is a British publication after all but the douchebags who's names I do recognize seem to be on the right list.  What do you think?
