BBC: Sarah Palin 54th Most Annoying Person of 2008.
Been watching the BBC special on "The Most Annoying People Of 2008."

The Pig with Lipstick, as they referred to her, came in at #54, three notches less annoying than the cast of "Sex And The City," but 45 notches more annoying than Michael Phelps.

Haven't seen the second half of the special, yet, so I don't know who they consider to be #50-1, but I still think Sarah deserved to be higher ranked.

Please tell me she's not above Carrot Top on that list!

11. She was considered more annoying than the Spanish Olympic Basketball team, though.
I'd love to see something similar done from an American perspective.

3. It would be terrifying to think that there are 53 people more annoying than her
Obviously, that ranking is an error on the part of the BBC. On the other hand, it's possible that there is a large number of people who are so disconnected that the SatC saturation was their big issue, and all that election stuff was just an irritating background buzz...

9. I liked what one of the commenters said.
She was a fresh face, and beautiful, and energizing, and a real game changer...

...and then she opened her mouth.

5. This is BBC Britain and not BBC America right?

I imagine some Brits are on the list that Americans hadn't heard of.

6. BBC Three to be exact, in Britain.
There were a lot of Brits on there, from the Home Secretary, to pop stars, to Amy Winehouse's husband. Still, 53 people in the world more annoying last year?

17. Heheh...I'd give her number two with LYNNE CHENEY at number one for as long as she's breathing.
Of course, that's just for the sound and substance of her utterances.

13. Damn, I thought she should be #2.
Only Joe The Plumber was more annoying IMO.
