Poll question: Who is the most over-exposed person of the year?
This wasn't meant to be a political thread, but one of annoyance over certain people being on magazine covers ALL of the time or speaking when they should probably keep still.

I think the political authorities try to keep Commander Bunnypants from being publicly exposed too much because he might open his mouth in an unscripted moment.

Assuming the most over-exposed person still keeps doing what they do, but are not in the limelight any longer, who would you select to disappear from excessive media coverage?

1. Lindsey Lohan
I have nothing against her, but I could use a break from seeing her at the same time.

6. Oh, I knew there was someone I had forgotten.
I guess it is because I stopped watching CNN and NBC earlier this year.

I really can't comprehend why he is famous.

17. Trump gets my vote too, and what's up...
with that bad comb-over?
You'd think a guy with that much money could just go buy a decent rug.

16. Jessica the brain dead twit and her equally untalented husband Nicky
At one point they had TV shows on three different networks, and ABC in particular was trying to rewrite the old Donny & Marie show around them. Way too much attention for 2 people whose only claim to fame is being dumb and conservative.

Dishonorable mention : the lip synching little sister who fucked up on SNL.

21. I could have done without wall-to-wall coverage from Modesto.
The Scott Peterson case was a local case blown all out of proportion by a media that didn't have anything better to report.

Oh wait, they did... they just didn't want to.

24. Really, what is the fascination with Paris Hilton?
No talent, never any comments or performances, not a movie star, not a singer, not a model, not a musician, not an artist, not a scientist, not particularly good-looking, not funny, not well educated.

Her only claim to fame is that she is rich. Could she be more boring?

28. I have to say Trump.
I was forced to watch The Apprentice the other night, and NBC managed to milk it for three hours. Why is everyone singing the praises of a billionaire whose company just declared bankruptcy again?
