Top Villain of 2006
And the top villain of 2006, according to the Associated Press poll is:

George Dubya!
It’s funny how he beats the combined score of Osama, Saddam, Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong and Satan himself.
In related news, South Park joke becomes eerily prophetic:
What does Saddam’s execution mean in global scope? Absolutely nothing. Saddam was irrelevant since the day he was captured in 2003. The execution was just some theatrics designed to appease the masses look as if the Bush administration actually achieved something. But it didn’t.
Nothing has changed. We are still at war, Iraq is still fucked up beyond recognition (even more than usual now, seeing as certain groups did not want Saddam to be executed), and our president still sucks.
What can be the impact of this execution if American public considers Bush to be a bigger crook than Saddam?
If you feel that you need to see it, here is a full, uncensored shakycam video of the hanging.

So where did the other 53% of the votes go?

No clue Matt. I guess the rest was irrelevant - most likely a long list of more or less known people who only got fractions of a percent.
But then again, who knows…

They would have to get less than 1 percent to score lower than satan, 53% left to divide up, so 53+ other people (most likely many more since it seems unlikely that everyone would get just less than one percent
I dunno… it seems the only logical answer but I don’t think there are that many candidates for villain of the year
Unless there were other high scorers and they only showed the results for the politically topical ones (and satan)

Good point. Perhaps Bush is not the highest scoring villain on the poll, but the newscast from which this screenshot was taken only chose to show this sample for obvious political message:
“People think Bush is a bigger villain than the top 4 global bad guys and satan combined”.
:P

Or a couple of lesser bad guys - you’d have to get almost all the missing votes to beat Bush, maybe they just left out some people who dont make a good political message but were still less than Bush
I know I’m splitting hairs but…..
Ok, I have no reason for splitting hairs except that its another possibility.
Whichever way it happened theres people they left out - either a horde of

hey… were did the rest of my post go?
is “less than sign” “1″ “percent sign” some sort of code for “cut my post off here”
anyway, either a horde of less-than-one-percent-ers or some un-political high scorers got left off the poll, I wonder who else got voted for
Now lets see if it’ll show the less-than and percent thingy

Yep, the “less than” sign is code for “open HTML tag”. So the rest of your post was essentially treated as a weird nonstandard tag, with many attributes. Wordpress is set to strip all HTML tags except the ones mentioned above the comment box - so it got killed. Sorry.
If you want to show < you need to use the HTML entity: <
