Please note, the italicized text is what that asshole did to
garner the title.
Historical Region:
Joseph McCarthy – Labeled individuals as communists
back when the “Red Scare” was a big deal. Got people blackballed from
their professions, ruined lives. (5)
vs.
Bernie Madoff – Ponzi’d the shit out of millions (8)
–
Matt- I’m
not going to lie, this was a little shocking to me. To see our good buddy Adolf going out in the
first round…crazy. Bernie Madoff wins
one for Jews everywhere, but I think that is where his luck runs out. Joseph McCarthy is a grade-A asshole, and
with Hitler out of the way, I can easily see him move swiftly into the final
four.
Nik- Boom! First
upset of the game. Pretty sure I called this one. I think Hitler’s had his time.
It’s good to see some other evil wretches getting their time in the sun. I
think this next round is going to be another example of more recent villainy wins. I think Madoff is going
to move on with this next round because we’re still feeling the effects of his
evils and those of his ilk.
John Wayne Gacy – Guilty of killing 33 boys and young
men (2)
vs.
Josef Stalin – General Asshole. Dictator of
the main opponent of the United States and freedom in general (3)
–
Matt- Stalin
steamrolled Cheney, while Gacy snuck by Putin at the very end to set up this
matchup. Stalin keeps rolling here as
his atrocities and overall asshole nature can’t be stopped.
Nik- I’m honestly
surprised by both of these results. Not upset, however. And I do think that
Stalin will move along here, as he overshadows Gacy’s crime on a more global
scale.
Entertainment Region:
Kanye West – He may be the antichrist (1)
vs.
Justin Bieber – A shining example of what is wrong
with today’s youth (4)
–
Matt- Kanye
and Bieber were both big winners here (with Bieber being only one of two
unanimous victors in the whole bracket) which sets up an interesting showdown
here. Which asshole is the bigger
asshole? The kid that just turned 21 or
the grown man that should know better. I
choose Kanye (of course, I will always choose Kanye when it comes to who is the
bigger asshole), but the real question is, who will everyone else choose?
Nik- Oh shit. Not
surprised with this turn-out either. And loving every second of it. I’m just
upset that these two couldn’t make it right to the end to duke it out. Gotta
say, I’m going with the Biebs on this one, based purely on how obnoxious he is.
Al Sharpton – Civil unrest profiteering and
fingerpointing, a modern day Joseph McCarthy (2)
vs.
Rush Limbaugh – Seriously? It’s Rush.
He’s the king of the assholes (3)
–
Matt- Two
blowhards go at it in this round, and the real losers here are the people that
have to listen to them. Sharpton takes
it in my opinion because he not only profits from civil unrest, but his actions
can actually incite some of that civil unrest itself. Rush?
He’s just an old white guy with someone that is too stupid to give him a
microphone. I can’t imagine there have
been riots in the streets due to his machinations.
Nik- Matt said it
beautifully in this one. Sharpton moves along because he’s more of an overall
evil. An every man’s evil, if you will.
General Region:
People that use welfare as a job (1)
vs.
People that passive-aggressively use memes
on Facebook (4)
–
Matt- People That
Sit on Welfare was the other big “winner” in the last round, completely
demolishing their opponent. Do I think
they will have as easy of a time this next round with People That Post Passive
Aggressive Memes on Facebook? Yes, yes I do.
I don’t see anyone in the field of competition that can take them down
at this point.
Nik- Agreed. I
don’t know how this Memes one even got this far. It doesn’t stand a chance.
Welfare it is. Move along.
People that use civil unrest to loot
stores and push their agenda (2)
vs.
That guy that drives 65 in the left lane
(3)
–
Matt- Both
of the winners here did so by the slimmest of margins, so it will be
interesting to see who advances from this pairing. I could see either moving on, especially because
looters are not as prevalent in everyday life as people that can’t goddamn
drive. I’m going with the driver. Familiarity wins.
Nik- I’m actually
going with Looters on this one, ‘cause I think they’re a greater evil, despite
their being less prevalent. They have more of a societal effect.
Deceptive Region:
Lance Armstrong – Doping/Lying/Destroying the lives
of those that were trying to expose his doping/lying (1)
vs.
Stephen Collins - Pedophilia (4)
–
Matt- It’s
the old-news asshole in Armstrong vs. the recent asshole in Collins. Does the fact that people have had time to
come to grips with Armstrong’s acts play into the voting process? I say no, an asshole is an asshole. It’s hard to say that anything is worse than
pedophilia though. I’m so
conflicted. A flip of the coin says
Armstrong.
Nik- I’m going
with Armstrong on this one too. In terms of quantity vs. quality, he takes the
taco on this.
Ray Rice – Beat his wife (6)
vs.
Paula Deen - Racist (7)
–
Matt- Clinton
and Cosby escape unscathed as Paula Deen and Ray Rice move right along. To be perfectly honest, I didn’t think either
of these two would be here, but at least what Ray Rice did was a criminal act,
which makes him an even bigger asshole in my mind. I still find it hard to admonish an old white
southern lady for being racist. That
would be like admonishing the sun for being bright, or John Travolta for being
a closeted homosexual. Rice moves on.
Nik- WHAT THE
WHAT?! I am flabbergasted here. Not unpleasantly. Quite tickled, honestly, that
we see these two. But in terms of being a wretched human being, I definitely
have to say that Rice wins this one. Hell, he might make it a couple more
rounds, at this point. And who is he? Does he play the footballs?
