Barbara and her list.
Robo sends these words to me, and I deliver them to you. Read, you!
Greetings, El Cosmico!
Tonight at 10pm EST, ABC airs their annual Barbara Walters Special, "The
10 Most Fascinating People of the Year." They've announced nine of their
choices...
Ricky Martin -- Pop Phenomenon
Governor Jesse Ventura -- Rugged Individualist
Susan Lucci -- Soap Star
Sumner Redstone -- Head of Viacom
King Abdullah of Jordan -- Successor to King Hussein
Joe Torre -- New York Yankees Manager
Jonathan Lee Iverson -- Youngest (and first African-American) Ringmaster of
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus
Monica Lewinsky -- Infamous Intern
Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg -- Living Legacy
...but always keep their top pick a secret. Anyway, I thought it'd be fun
to offer Talk Backers the chance to make their own prognostications today,
and vent their reactions to the broadcast tonight.
As for me, well, I can't help but go out on a psychic limb and boldly
predict that the Number One choice will be... Lance Armstrong. Tune in
tonight and see if I'm right. ;-)
If it was up to me, the number one choice would be...Jiang Zemin. Personally, though, I think lists like these are a bunch of crap.
You will perish in flame!

Seriously folks, aside from Jesse "The Mind" no one else belongs on this list. Ricky Martin? C'mon, I'm sick of all these New Kids On The Block clones infesting my TV and radio. Monica? C'mon, yeah I know doing a "Lewinsky" is now slang for giving head but aside from that, what else has this fat slut done? Maybe the first black ringmaster is interesting but, honestly, the rest of these people don't interest me at all.

Or Loki Trickster? I'm interested in hearing about what it's like being a fat, pimple-faced, four-eyed, no-friends having homosexual.

hahaha. Sure, whenever I think Susan Lucci or Ricky Martin the first adjective that comes into my mind is "fascinating." C'mon guys, I thought this was the AIN'T IT COOL NEWS site, not the SERIOUSLY SUCKS ASS NEWS site.

........the Sixth Sense. That kid kicks ass. Haley Joel Osmont
-
and shove it up hugh down's ass. what a group of wankers, and not even interesting wankers at that.
-
Ha Det Bra!
-
is the most interesting thing happening right now, would be a possibility and would be VERY shocking. it will probably be Osama Bin Laden or something ridiculous.
-
Pisso the Clown. Barbara deserves a few Golden Showers for THIS list!
-
Yea, that's right! As for everyone else on the list, eh. So what if ABC (or Walters, or whoever officiates this kind of thing) thinks so-and-so is 'Fascinating'. There's nothing here that really makes me interested in watching the program. I'll probably be getting home and watching the Buffy episode I'll be taping. Ha!

Easily David Fincher or Chuck Pahalniuk (www.tyler-durden.com)

If Barbara had any guts, this would easily be the choice. I can talk to anyone who's seen Fight Club for hours about its messages and themes.

I think the Haley Joel Osment theory may be a good idea, but I'd have to go with M. Night Shyamalan. Or Natalie Portman.

Mini Me! That guy rules!

in a twisted sort of way (not about me, he's rather off there)...I think having a story about a homosexual could be the way to go...not about one of those famous people coming out (ala Ellen), but a simple person who happens to be gay, perhaps even someone finally coming out of the closet and dealing with people he/she knows with that new "fact" out between them. I watched it happen with one of my best friends two years ago; it's a fascinating thing...at least in my mind. Besides, these last 15 months have really pushed the issue of homosexuality forward into the public eye, especially with the beating death of Matthew Shepard last October, and the recent conference between Falwell and the homosexual minister. I think this is an issue that deserves more attention than Ricky Martin...who frankly just bores me. The other fascinating people to examine would be the Kansas School Board and their decision about evolution...although I'm not sure they can show people with their heads up their asses on prime-time TV yet. -Loki

Well, Susan Lucci gets my vote 100%!!!! Her acceptance speech after she (finally) won the daytime Emmy was one of the most gracious and heartfelt that I have ever seen. La Lucci is a true star in every sense of the word!

Yeah I'd put Ron Jeremy before Monica Lewinsky. If you absolutely HAD TO put Monica on there, she should have been LAST YEAR. It was LAST YEAR's news. It is this year's olds.I mean really... who has she sucked off this year ? Although if she did Ron Jeremy maybe she could be back on the list.
-
This entire concept is idiotic and Walters is a moron. See "the view" and you will understand...

This might be the list of the ten people who we would like to se
by spike lee
Where is Jar Jar?
-
Or The Blair Witch? Or Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra? Or Pikachu? Or... Yes, I'm kidding. Why anyone would take this topic seriously is beyond me.
-
. . . Ricky Martin and no Britney? This is blasphemy! At least she's got tits. True, they're not her own . . . .
-
It's going to be little John John Kennedy. JFK JR died this year, and Barbara like to use dead people as the most fasinating person of the year. He will get it because he's a Kennedy male who died tragically. It's lame, but her list is always lame, just like the over hyped John John Jr.

I just wanted to let all of you faithful AICN readers out there to know that I have had extensive conversations with Barbara about why I was not included on this list. After all, who could possibly be more fascinating than a lovable clown who enjoys nothing more than letting the world bask in his sweet, sweet Golden Showers? This is obviously another example of the rampant clown prejudice that has been sweeping the country as of late. Of course, Babs had no reply to this claim, which was expected. If you are sick and tired of seeing clowns mistreated in the media, I suggest that you write in to the networks and let them know that we're not gonna take it anymore! Pisso should top this list! Let's all ban together and make the year 2000 the Year of Pisso! The Year of the Golden Shower! Together, we can make it happen!
-
B. Walters will join her colleagues in the ridiculous support of H. Clinton's failing campaign.
-
No film actos on that list of yours. I thought that Roberto Benigni should have been on his list. But oh well.
Ricky Martin on the list did not surprize me, but he seems like an older Backstreet Boy soon to disapear. Only time will tell.
