I dunno I kind of think that perhaps the worst (living) person in the world would be, say, Musa Hilal.

[freebacon]

the segment is a joke. she's not really the 'worst person'

a joke, a gag, it's for the lulz, etc

i mean why else do you think the titles for them are "worse", "worser" and "worst"?

[auxoriousrex]

someone's using her thesaurus!!

[hotcoffeems]

That is *exactly* what I thought!

[hardblue]

I think it's more like someone has her mother's writers doing some writing for her.

[lightbird777]

That was my thought exactly.

omfg, has anyone seen the actual Bristol/"Situation" PSA?

Kill me. Kill me now. Not least because the PSA awkwardly tried to fuse messages of abstinence with safe sex using really terrible spokespersons.

the awkwardness is strong with this one.

LOL CLASSIC

"And I'm Yo Yo Ma."

smh

Meh. I think Olbermann labeling her ~*~the worst person in da world~*~ for advocating abstinence only prevention is pretty ridiculous, but I have a hard time feeling much sympathy from her, since I really highly doubt that she actually practices abstinence.

[kitschaster]

Okay, it's really stupid to label her as "the worst person in the world". That's like a 5-year-old making any award for the "biggest poopiehead in the class". It really lacks class.

That said, she just called her own child a mistake, and that just makes her a pretty atrocious mother. That phrase would have NEVER come out of my mouth. It would have been, "Sometimes your plans for the future take a turn, and lead your down a different path, and I wouldn't change that for the world.", but "everybody makes mistakes?". If I were her child listening to that later in life, I would probably burst into tears.

She's a terrible spokesperson, and a shitty parent, but she's not ~*the worst person ever in the world teehee*~. I believe those are the people killing others for being gay, tying their children to bedposts while festering in their own feces, and/or ripping teeth out of innocent people's heads.

The segment's a joke. It's called "(NOT REALLY) Worst Persons". It's mainly used to poke fun at idiotic statements.

Honestly, when they asked if people wanted the segment to continue, I clicked "pie".

[kitschaster]

Ah. Then that clears some things up. *blinks*

I'd have clicked *pie*, too.

[mindrtist]

Am I imagining things or did he retire that segment about a month ago?
