The 50 Most Loathsome People in America, 2004

The Beast lists its “50 Most Loathsome People in America” for 2004. The list includes each person’s crime, a “smoking gun,” and a suitable punishment. For example, here’s an excerpt from one of my favorite entries:

23. Jerry Bruckheimer

Crimes: … Master of the incoherent action sequence, full of unnecessary cuts and jittery close-ups. His rapidly multiplying CBS cop show empire is replete with ridiculously beautiful cops and scientists (and murderers and victims and witnesses) and impossibly stylish interiors…

Smoking Gun: Who brings a fucking Gatling gun to an asteroid?

Punishment: Made into shoes for Martin Scorsese.

I think a couple of them are a bit harsh, but for the most part this is pretty damn funny…
