Who do you think is the world's most overrated person?

[David]

Yes he does.

[Solid Snake]

Dimebag Darrel, the guitarist from the overrated band Pantera. Every damn poser asshole in my school thinks he is the greatest guitarist in the world, which is completely wrong. I'd say Slash from Guns N' Roses, or Dave Mustaine of Megadeth... Heh heh heh

[Master of Ossus]

I also think that it's Jesse Jackson. He's such a jerk, and no one needs him, anymore. Did he ever get his peace delegation off to the Middle East?

I also have a controversial person who I think is up there: Tiger Woods. I don't think that his foundation has done anything. All it does is take inner-city kids out for one round of golf, and then it sends them back to their slums where they may never see another golf course again for their entire life! I also don't think he is as far beyond David Duval and Phil Mickelson as all of the experts seem to think he is.

On the other hand, he IS better than Duval and Mickelson, and some of the obstacles he had to climb in order to be as good as he is are pretty impressive.

[Cool Cat]

Most overrated person?
I've got a whole list!

Margaret Thatcher, George W. Bush, Condoleeza Rice, Karl Rove, Britney Spears, Eminem, ...

I'd say Britney Spears. She has to be one of the least talented pop stars out there, and yet she is worshipped by males and pre-teen s alike. In my opinion, she's just a waste of valubale plastic. She doesn't even pick out her own outfits! And he's also a hypocrite.

Britney is very very good for fucking, but like with most female celebs, that's all she's good for. Good enough for me though

Ok, she might be nice for a one-night stand, but afterwards I would get rid of her.

I wouldn't even do that. I'd get her drunk and completely stoned, and let her simmer for a while. Then I'd drive down to the animal shelter, get a BIG dog, and let it have its way with her. And I'd take pictures and post them ALL OVER the Internet.

Goodbye, singing career, hello pornstar career (hey, we all know that's what she's going to be doing in ten years anyway, right?).

I fear someone's been reading my thoughts again...

THE GOVERNMENT! ALL PEOPLE SHOULD BE PARANOID!

<Insane rambling over>

Richard Simmions
Just kidding KISS fans

I assume you mean GENE Simmions! Richard...well we'll save that for another thread:)

[weemadando]

George Dubya Bush. How can anyone be more overrated? They can't be. The only reason he hasn't been laughed out of office yet is September 11.

[Admiral Valdemar]

George Dubya Bush. How can anyone be more overrated? They can't be. The only reason he hasn't been laughed out of office yet is September 11.

And to get the yokels to vote him in again he's going to attack Iraq for... um... something.

[Enlightenment]

Bill Gates.

Until everyone regards him as Satan incarnate, he's overrated.

[Shadowfyre]

Gene Roddenberry.

He's glorfied so much by trekkies for his optimistic view of the future, where everyone gets along in their PC social paradise and where Humanity has grown beyond so many "childish" things (never mind the idea that thousands of years of Human nature gets wiped out in just a couple centuries) that now that he is dead, I'm surprised someone hasn't thrown his name in the hat for sainthood.

Ok, he did create a profitable show that did portray a postive future, but too many of the things attributed to him were ideas that he got from other people.
