First let me take a minute to thank my loyal readers. In the past week I have had some comments and emails with people either loving or hating the site. Thanks for the support and it is for you that I will continue to post weekly.
Al Sharpton has been on my radar for a while. The reason this guy is such a douche bag is because he uses a positive front to hide his douchbaggery. The guy makes a living by inciting hate. He takes situations in which there is no racism and creates a stir so that people will follow and donate money to his cause.
In the past week he has organized a riot outside of a the NY Post building and demanded that the owner of the newspaper, Rupert Murdoch, be jailed for a cartoon in the paper. There are a few flaws with this.
1. Rupert Murdoch did not draw the cartoon.
2. Rupert Murdoch did not edit the cartoon.
3. Rupert Murdoch did not print the cartoon.
4. The cartoon was in no way racist.
Anyone that understands basic government should understand why the cartoon was not racist and was not about Barack Obama. (Who by the way I did vote for). Sharpton screams racism in order to get into the news and solicit more donations from idiots. End of story.
With people like Al Sharpton creating racism where it does not exist our country will never truly get past the racist issues that are genuine.
Al Sharpton
Dustin Dibble
Sometimes this article just writes itself. I thought of writing about Steeler fans thanks to the A Hole that comes to my site looking for spank material for his Big Ben fantasies. However, there is just a bigger Douche bag in Dustin Dibble. (link)
Dustin decided to go out drinking in NYC. He then decided to take the subway home. Instead of following the same pattern of waiting for the train and then boarding the train like millions of others manage to do every day, Dustin decides to somehow end up on the tracks and get his leg cut off.
Tragedy right? Wrong! PayDay! Dustin with the help of an even bigger douche bag lawyer sues the transit authority for 3.5 million dollars. Claiming they should have stopped the train. The jury found the transit authority and the subway operator responsible for 65% of the incident. Here is what Dustin's lawyer said about the incident...
“Dibble in no way contributed to (the accident), and his injuries were due solely to the negligence and carelessness of the defendant,”
Unless that subway driver or the transit authority was out buying shots for Dustin and slipping him some funky pills, I can't see why they are at fault. I have managed to go out drinking hundreds of times and taken the subway home after many of those times and not once have I managed to even come close to getting my legs chopped off. Hell, I have even managed to keep my drunk ass off the tracks.
Once again, we as a society are proving that no one is responsible for their own actions and who knows, your next slip and fall / payday could be right around the corner. Live dangerously.
Drew Rosenhaus
Long overdue. This guy is a douche bag of the worst kind. He has an inflated view of his self importance because he deals with some of the biggest stars in the NFL on a daily basis.
This guy is classic little man syndrome. He is the loudest guy in the room, probably has about a gallon of expensive toilet water on and probably talks more smack than Muhammad Ali. His company logo is a freaking super man symbol. Seriously, this guy thinks he is faster than a speeding bullet and can leap tall buildings.
You may remember him from his press conference with Terrell Owens where he continued to dodge reporters questions by just repeating the phrase "Next Question".
His latest antics are sending a letter to all 31 teams naming 3 players that are looking for a trade, even though all three are under large contracts and need permission from their teams to look for trades. This guy thinks he is above the rules and above the people.
Drew, you suck.
Nadya Suleman
This weeks DBag comes from Los Angeles, California. Nadya Suleman qualifies as a DBag for the fact that she is a waste on society. After being a single mother with 6 kids and no job, she decided it was a good idea to go ahead and have some more kids. So she took the government assistance (aka all the productive members of societies cash) and paid for invitro fertilization. It took and she had 8 more kids.
This crazy bitch has 14 kids and no job. In a world where people are struggling to make ends meet this woman is sponging of society by continuing to have kids she can't afford. Lady, if I want to pay for some more kids I will go ahead and have some more of my own.
This blogger thinks because of idiotic shows like John and Kate plus 78 and the like, this woman sees a life of television in her future. I see 14 kids struggling through life with a moron for a mother. There is going to be teen pregnancy, drug abuse and criminal activity galore in this family.
Man, this lady sucks....
Ben Roethlisberger
Last week I brought the mood down pretty low, this week I am going to attempt to lighten it a little. Ben Roethlisberger is a Douche bag.
"But Probinu, everyone knows that"
You are right, but I feel when a person of his level of DBag is attempting to play in another Super Bowl this Sunday, I feel the need to remind the world how big of a DBag he is.
I hate that he gets credit for a Super Bowl win. Come on, we all remember the game, Ben was the best player that day on the Seahawks team. I thought Seattle was going to start punting the ball on first down to have a better chance of scoring. Ben's quarterback rating was 22.6, (9/21 completion, 123 yards, 2 interceptions) the worst rating a winning QB has ever had in Super Bowl history.
Also, they call him Big Ben. He is named after some big old clock in England. England sucks, to them football is a sport you can't use your hands.
He went to Miami U. While that does not automatically categorize him as a DBag it does put him dangerously close the the distinction.
He plays for the Steelers.
He had a talk show host shave his beard. Like any one cares about the crustache and pubes hanging from his mangled face.
Hit hit a car on his motorcycle while he was not wearing a helmet. Even though he knows the danger of head trauma without protection. I mean, he does wear one in his job.
Ben Roethlisberger became not only the highest-paid Steelers player ever, he's now among the highest-paid players in the NFL, and arguments can be made that he's No. 1.
When he plays bad he fakes an injury. Maybe he should move to England and play "Football"
That's all I have, I hope to see Fatlisberger crying on the sidelines on Sunday. Hopefully this year the refs will call a fair game.
Casey Anthony
Depending on what the DBag of the week has done, it may be funny to laugh at why this person has been nominated. I have decided to let my decision on who is DBag of the week be based on what person I hear about in a given week that makes me react the most. That reaction may be anger or laughter.
In this weeks case it is disgust. Having a little girl myself I can not imagine how a person can harm a child. I get upset when my little girl falls down when trying to stand up. This DBag and waste of human life, Casey Anthony, is one of the worst people I have ever heard of.
All of the news is not out on this story but the reason I choose this week to nominate her for the DBag weekly honor is the news I heard today.
Her daughters remains were found bound with duct tape. On top of the tape covering her mouth was the sticker of a heart. Also with her was her favorite blanket a Winnie the Pooh blanket.
The purpose of the sticker and blanket may never be known. Maybe it was the last bit of comfort a scared little girl had in her life or a sick, sick persons way of making it seem what she is doing a little more human. In either case I hope the rest of Casey's life is hell.
Stacey Peterson
Meet Stacey Peterson.
I decided to stay local in this weeks douchebag of the week and also nominate our first woman. Stacey is a native of Cincinnati and refuses to let her 3 young kids ruin her social life. Her kids ages 4, 3 and 8 months were left home alone so that she could go to the movies.
The 3 kids were home alone, in an unlocked apartment with no food. They were discovered when social workers following up on a previous infraction came for a visit.
When Stacey returned she told police a false name and lied about why the kids were home. I imagine her defense will consist of something like:
"I'm a grown woman, can't nobody tell me how to get mines."
Although that was a gross stereotype, I can't imagine from the look of that woman that she is holding down a 9 to 5 and being a genuine contributor to society. The thing that surprises me most about this story is that somebody(s) decided to have sex with that bitch 3 times.
Adam PacMan Jones
Adam PacMan Jones is a douchebag. After winning the genetic lottery and being born with incredible athletic talent. This moron has failed to keep his nose clean to capitalize on his abilities. The idiot can barely even speak English.
A lot of athletes have trouble with English so why do I pick on PacMan? Most athletes that struggle with English are people who were born in other countries and are in the United States to play their sports. They make efforts to learn English and most have some hilarious accents. I will never fault someone for struggling with a second language. PacMan however is struggling with his first language. He was born in the US and still has trouble with basic sentences. His latest quote is proof of this.
"If I beat myself up, who will take care of me? Football means a lot to me, but it's not everything. It's not like I'm taking it pretty good. I love me some me."You love you some you? Seriously? Are you retarded? PacMan, you are this weeks douchebag because you might be one of the dumbest people on the planet.
Note: Some of Pacmans legal issues:
- On July 14, 2005 Jones was arrested on charges of assault and felony vandalism stemming from a nightclub altercation.
- On September 5, 2005, Jones was a guest at the annual Nashville Sports Council Kickoff Luncheon. After a loud verbal tantrum in which he was told to wait in line for his vehicle later that evening, Jones was counseled by the police.
- On August 25, 2006, Jones was arrested in Murfreesboro, Tennessee for disorderly conduct and public intoxication after claiming that a woman stole his wallet.
- On October 26, 2006. Jones was cited for misdemeanor assault for allegedly spitting in the face of a female student from Tennessee State University during a private party at Club Mystic.
- February 19, 2007, during the 2007 NBA All-Star Game weekend in Las Vegas, Jones is alleged to have been involved in an altercation with an exotic dancer at Minxx, a local strip club.
- On May 7, 2007, Jones was stopped at 12:45 a.m. on Interstate 65 heading into downtown after an officer clocked him on radar at 79 mph in a 55 mph zone. He was in a car that was seized by police earlier for being involved in a cocaine drug bust. The name "PacMan" was stitched in the head rests.
Robert Aragon
I struggled this week to figure out who I thought was the biggest DBag of 2008. This is an incredible dishonor and I wanted to make sure the right douche bag received the title. Meet Robert Aragon, this is the 55 year old father of an 11 year old girl that died on Christmas Day.
How did she die did you ask? When Robert's car broke down taking his children to their mothers house, he sent his 11 year old daughter and 12 year old son walking the last 10 miles in temperatures that were as cold as 5 below zero with the wind chill.
After hiking about 4 miles, she decided it was to cold and turned back to the car. Little did she know Robert had the car running and had already turned around to head home. While the 12 year old boy managed to find a little shelter and was rescued over 10 hours later, the little girl succumbed to hypothermia and passed away.
The people we have profiled on this site so far this year have all been DBags. Robert is by far the worst person we have profiled to date.
Roy Pearson
In case you have not heard of Judge Roy Pearson I will fill you in on what kind of a DBag he is. Over 3 years ago Roy took some pants to a local dry cleaners to be cleaned. When he returned to the store one pair of pants he had dropped off had been lost.
Most normal citizens would understandably be upset. They would probably force the dry cleaners to replace the missing clothing and maybe even get some future free services out of the situation. Not Roy.
Roy decides to sue the owners of the dry cleaners for $67 million for inconvenience, mental anguish and attorney's fees.
The owners tried to settle with this a-hole for $12,000 (more than 12 times the price of the suit the pants belonged to) but he refused.
Instead Pearson reduced his demands to $54 million in damages rather than $67 million. Among his requests were $500,000 in attorney's fees, $2 million for "discomfort, inconvenience, and mental distress", and $15,000, which he claimed would be the cost to rent a car every weekend to drive to another dry cleaners.
In 2007 at one of the trials Pearson broke down in tears describing his anguish and the court was forced to take a recess to accommodate him.
Pearson being of the law himself should understand what a frivolous law suit is and why it is bad for our judicial system. Instead he sees a pair of pants as a pay day and can't think past the dollar signs in his eyes.
A little bit of justice has been served, Pearson has not been kept on in his position as an administrative law judge in Washington DC based on his actions in this law suit. But leave it to good old DBag Pearson to follow that decision up with yet another law suit. In May of 2008, Roy Pearson filed suit against Washington DC, claiming that he had been wrongfully dismissed for exposing corruption within the Office of Administrative Hearings. Pearson sought $1 million in compensation for lost wages and punitive damages as well as his job back.
While one could argue that greed pushed many people in to bed with our previous DBag of the week Mr. Madoff, Roy Pearson's greed is unmatched. He is actively looking to destroy working people because he is a huge Douche Bag.
Bernie Madoff
This weeks DBag of the week is an easy one. Thanks to the greedy a-hole Bernie Madoff. If you have not heard of this guy go ahead and turn on your TV. He is the jerk that over the past 40 years built a solid reputation on Wall Street just so he could gain the trust of some of the wealthiest investors in the world.
DBag Madoff decided that he was going to make a lot of money by any means necessary. So off he went, whispering sweet nothings of great returns and huge payouts to anyone with a pocket full of cash.
Large corporations, individuals, charities all became victim to Bernie and his lies. He took pensions, 401k's, savings etc... and promised returns that no one could offer. (There is some blame on the investors, if it is to good to be true...)
All told, DBag Madoff lost his investors about 50 Billion dollars. Families saving for retirement and working for companies that invested with him now have no savings and no jobs. (One family's story).
Mr. Thain, you are off the hotseat. You have been replaced by an even bigger Douche Bag, Bernie Madoff. I hope the authorities see fit to toss you in the good old FPMITA* prison for a long time.
(* Federal Pound Me In The Ass)
John Thain
Congratulations John Thain, you are our inaugural D-Bag. This is quite an honor and future D-Bags have a lot to live up to.
As the CEO of Merrill Lynch you are requesting a $10 million bonus for 2008. Mostly because, in 2008, you held Merrill Lynch down to a loss of only $11.67 billion.
So let me get this straight. You lost tons of money for your customers, tons of your employees were laid off and you think you are worthy of a 10 million dollar bonus.
Disgusting is a word that gives you too much credit. You are a used douche bag sir.
1/23/2009 UPDATE: In Campbell Brown's latest story about Thain, she describes how even though Merill was preparing to file for bankruptcy John Thain decided to spruce up his office with a 1.2 million dollar makeover.
Ass.
About DoucheBag of the week
Welcome to DoucheBag of the week. I decided to start this blog as a way of recognizing those people that go above and beyond to show why they think they are better than the general population. I label them a douchebag, tell their story and post a picture if I have one.
You may be thinking to your self "Probinu" what makes you the expert on DoucheBags?
I am a self proclaimed expert based on two things.
1. My friend Darren Hollywood thinks I am an expert.
2. My life is pretty awesome and probably better than yours.
If that is not enough explanation for you, then you are probably a douchebag yourself. Email me at probinu at gmail.com. Send a little story and a picture of yourself and I will see about getting you on here.
Good Day
