Top 10 Top 10s from 2010 - Part One

Hello, I'm finally back after being quite busy with other things since my last post. In return, I have spent the last few days compiling the events of this past year, finally coming up with The Top 10 Top 10s from 2010. In three separate posts, I will detail 100 (not necessarily different) people, groups, and events that made 2010 unique.

List #1: Top 10 celebrities we somehow, amazingly, still care about
10. Tiger Woods
9. The Tea Party. Yes. All of them.
8. Taylor Lautner
7. Whatever Kardashian it is now
6. Paris Hilton
5. Mel Gibson
4. Lindsay Lohan
3. Justin Bieber
2. Snooki
1. Robert Pattinson

List #2: Top 10 reasons Qatar was awarded the 2022 World Cup over America
10. FIFA wants to expand where the World Cup is played
9. Doubts over the support a World Cup would get in America
8. Interesting climate in Qatar causes new, fun, challenges
7. Qatar has fewer vuvuzelas
6. Qatar starts with a Q
5. It's... America
4. Jersey Shore
3. Bill Clinton
2. Crazed Preteens may hold soccer players hostage
1. The U.S.A. has allowed Justin Bieber inside their borders, Qatar hasn't.


List #3: Top 10 things we didn't want any more of, but somehow ended up with anyway

10. Earthquakes: We got the message after Haiti, I don't think Chile was really necessary.

9. Reality TV
: Because America didn't already have enough bad singers and dancers now, even more are getting to go public. Meanwhile, in the worst move of the year: Skating with the Stars.

8. Celebrities doing stupid things
: Due to the underabundance of intelligence in Hollywood, we are forced to hear about these somewhat popular people doing somewhat stupid things. May karma come back to haunt them, preferably while they're driving drunk.

7. Michael Vick
: While his story may be filed under "heartwarming" (I still haven't figured out exactly how) we really don't need to hear his story and have him interviewed every time his team plays a football game.

6. Movies made out of books
: Once again, several fools have tried to upset the natural balance- making movies out of books- and failed. And once again, Harry Potter was really the only movie based off a book that actually followed a plot line, proving once and for all that it wasn't a series of novels, it was actually a series of screenplays.

5. The iPad
: I've never used it, but a larger iPhone minus the phone just seems awkward.

4. "Villes"
: Zynga is going crazy with these. First it was FarmVille, then people caught on to other "villes". Now we're on to CityVille, which is the most redundant name for a game ever.

3. LeBron James
: He was arrogant enough to think people would watch an hour-long special just about himself- and millions of people actually, for some reason unbeknownst to mankind, did.

2. Shrek
: It was funny the first fifteen movies, now we're wondering when they'll run out of material to keep the adults mildly entertained who have been forced to watch this movie by their kids.

1. Cell Phone Commercials
: Because every phone can do everything every other one can, so please, for the sake of sanity, shut up. I really couldn't care less whether your phone can cook pasta better than another brand's.

Next up: The people of 2010
