I think I have the worst one...

Mandy - Barry Manilow


just to illustrate the mental disturbtion that this has caused me... the top rated comment for the top rated video was

Quote from: LivesForJihad I saw a World of Warcraft ad with Chuck Norris in it when I selected this video. I skipped it because Barry Manilow > Chuck Norris.

I weep for humanity, Mandy even has the Eurovision half octave bump after the second verse.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

The Pet Shop Boys are indeed the best thing that ever happened in pop music.
