They're all worthy candidates—honestly—but I went by my kneejerk rage and went with Bono.

Douchery in and of itself never killed anyone. Pallin' around with dictators and IMF heavies can and may have. I think the company Bozo keeps puts him on a different plane, whether or not he thinks he's doing good to the world.

Ahem...didn't Eric Clapton kind of kill someone?

Before the B.A.D. Roxy gig, I heard one of the autograph hounds tell a story about him asking Clapton to sign a record. After he did, he flung it like a frisbee against the ground and told him to go get it. As a result, one side of the record was completely scraped. Even though I can't stand autograph hounds, that was totally unacceptable behavior. Also, isn't Clapton supposed to be racist? Yeah, I voted for Clapton.

Christ, this list is so megadouchey. I went with Bono, but pretty much any of them would suffice.

I voted for Sting.

But if there had been a Billy Joel option, I would have been conflicted.

I vote for Bono, but Liam Gallagher deserves a worthy mention.

Bono takes the cake for me because he just goes over the edge (no pun intended) with it. Him and his stupid glasses.

Had to go with Clapton after watching a documentary about him in which even his friends admitted he was a wanker.

That should be more like the Eagles option--you have consider both Gallaghers as one annoying twat.

Thanks to my job, I go to church nearly every Sunday. Which is far more than an atheist should, really. There's sermons and long, sycophantic songs; I only take communion when I've skipped breakfast. The hip, young Christian umbrella organisation that runs the church trades under the name 'Oasis'. I think they pre-date the Brit-pop band by about five years.

I'd missed a few worship sessions thanks to my holiday, and when I came back they were talking about holding an open discussion after the service regarding a rebranding of the organisation. I sat there, surrounded by very nice people I have no way of empathizing with, young, old, overwhelmingly white, and resisted the urge in every one of my cells that was screaming at me to shout out the very obvious "Beady Eye!"

I nearly added a Liam Gallagher and Robbie Williams option, but thought they were too Limey-centric.

SM, you really should have went for it! That had me chuckling.
