Part Two: The People of 2010
List #4: Top 10 groups of people who made very, very bad moves.
10. Anyone who read or saw Twilight or any of its sequels. (This is self-explanatory).
9. Suzanne Collins. SPOILER ALERT! Katniss should have chosen Gale.
8. Jersey Shore. We're questioning how you're still on TV.
7. North Korea. Continuing to act like the world's annoying little brother with a water pistol, firing said water pistol at innocent South Koreans and earning themselves a timeout.
6. BP. They seemed rather crude this year.
5. NBC. You know you handled a situation poorly when you give someone millions of dollars to leave.
4. Windows and their new phone. No one is going to want to buy a phone that keeps saying "Not Responding" all the time.
3. Whoever selects the Nobel Prize winners. Forget giving him the Nobel Prize, get Liu Xiaobo out of jail!
2. Toyota. The growth of the number of problems it had with the Prius just wouldn't stop.
1. WikiLeaks. Because the government will be completely fine with it, and hail Julian Assange as a national hero.
List #5 (plus bonus list): In picture form:
A few months ago, I posted a series of interesting default search terms you would get when you typed generic questions such as "What is" or "When was" into the search engine Bing. This time, we're taking it a step further to see what we think of the people making headlines today, and Benjamin Franklin.
We came up with 25 people to try search terms on. This group was made up of politicians, celebrities, and leaders of today. And Benjamin Franklin. Here's what we typed into Bing: "[person] is _____" The top 10 most common results that came up in the blank made the list. We also came up with a bonus list of the 10 most bizarre search terms (including funny and ironic searches). Here's the list:

List #6: The Top 10 people to look up to from 2010
10. Barack Obama: He makes a lot of inspirational top 10 lists around this time of year like "top 10 leaders" or "top 10 politicians" so we figured we'd better put him on this list too.
9. Rick Astley: His music videos (one in particular) are still among the most consistently watched on YouTube. How does he do it?
8. Justin Bieber: Overcame such odds to become what he is today, adored by over 350 million Americans.
7. The guy at the Drive-Thru window who took my order: You, sir, keep many people from going hungry everyday, and you work at such a modest salary as well!
6. Mark Zuckerberg: Only Julian Assange has gotten more private information onto the internet, but Zuckerberg has successfully evaded the law!
5. The Beatles: They finally did the right thing from a money standpoint, going to iTunes after everyone had already illegally downloaded their music from other places.
4. Team [insert Twilight character here]: Each team has instilled the values of cooperation and teamwork into today's preteens, something few other movies or books has been able to do before.
3. Steve Jobs: For appearing in my crossword puzzle last week under the particularly cryptic clue "Jobs in Computers". You're a tricky one, Steve.
2. Kim Jong-Il: Once again, he has proven wrong the old adage that "you can't have your cake and eat it too" by doing just that while refusing his peasants any food at all. Not since Marie Antoinette have we seen such ground-breaking achievements.
1. Jeff Miller: Miller won his third couch potato championship on January 4th of this year and set a world record by loafing around for 72 hours straight. That's three days. Three days of just sitting on a couch. He's the pride and joy of no-lifers like myself. Way to go, Jeff!
