Eight! Just eight!? I think that there is no “most.” That’s the problem with the article’s premise. I think there’s an asymptotic approach to annoying and so many of them are on the topmost part of the curve that you can’t arbitrarily select eight without thousands of annoyed Freepers pointing out “Wait! You forgot (the person on the cover of any magazine.)”
I recommend you throw away your TV. That’s the tool they use to annoy you. Read instead. There is now a whole generation of incredibly annoying “celebrities” that I don’t recognize and associate with a character that I liked. That makes them much less annoying when I see them barfing up criticism of somebody like George Bush.
I'll second that motion. I use the Internet instead.
” I recommend you throw away your TV. That’s the tool they use to annoy you.”
I wholeheartedly agree. But I would change the second sentence to read...”That’s the tool they use to brainwash you.”
