I guess they all can't be "Sully" Sullenberger's. Here are some of the most annoying people to ever get their piece of the celebrity pie and are sure to be remembered well after their time:
3: William Hung
William Hung is why other countries can't stand Americans. Is it possible to have so little talent that it makes you an instant star? Apparently so, as Hung took the United States for a joy ride in the fall of 2003. Now, he's just a term my friends and I use when we had too much to drink the night before.
2: Steve Bartman
Let me paint a picture for you...
The Chicago Cubs have to get five more outs to move on to the World Series; a title they have not held since 1907. In 2003, that was a 96 year streak. The way history will remember "The Steve Bartman Incident" has directly led to the current 103 year streak with no championships. In what could have been out #5, Bartman tried to catch a foul ball in the stands at Wrigley Field, making it impossible for Mosies Alou to make the catch. After that play, the Cubs (who were leading 3-0 in the 8th inning) surrendered their lead and lost in game seven of the series. Brutal.
1: Balloon Boy
We were all crowded around the televisions in the Newsday offices as if the Russians had just attacked; watching a silver saucer fly gracefully through the Colorado sky. Did little Falcon fall out of the balloon? How did this happen? When the balloon landed with no child inside, I was really upset. This was the biggest waste of time hoax and when Falcon spilled the beans on Larry King, I stood and applauded.
