1. They must be famous.
2. They must be contributing to the decline and/or dumbing down of civilization in some way.
3. If they were put on a shuttle and sent into permanent orbit around the earth, we would all be better off.
So with the rules out of the way, may I present the first names on the list:
1. Al Sharpton
Really, do you need a reason? No, you don't, but I'll give you one. First and foremost, the problem with the Reverend Sharpton is his constant desire to be in the foreground anytime a racial conflict comes up in this country. When I heard that the police officers in New York City were acquitted, my first thought was, "I bet Sharpton will be all over this." Why did I think that? It's probably because I remember his role in the Don Imus 'nappy-headed ho's' scandal. I agree that the police officers probably used excessive force, but was Sharpton there? He doesn't know the facts of the case any more than the rest of us, so his leading a protest and getting arrested serve only to make sure his name gets splattered all over the news. If he wants the country to make progress in race relations, he needs to work on being less divisive, and actually attempt to bring people together. Also, by putting the focus on himself, he takes the focus away from the problem. So Al Sharpton is firmly on my list. Who's next?
2. Joel Osteen
He's a used car salesman trapped in a preacher's body. He spends more on hair gel and teeth whitener than I do on food. He's got Billy Graham's following and Dr. Phil's message. His book reads more like 'The Secret' than anything by C.S. Lewis or Max Lucado or Watchman Nee. He's on my list in a biiiigggg way.
3. Ryan Seacrest
Speaking of hair gel and teeth whitener... I'm sorry if you're a fan of American Idol, but that show needs to go away... quickly. This guy is the ultimate host for that show; he really embodies everything it's about. He's all style, no substance. He's cheesy, somewhat bland, extremely annoying... he's basically Ty Pennington if Ty Pennington were possibly gay and had no personality and no carpentry skills.
So, there you have it: Three people headed into orbit if I have any say in the matter. Please comment; let me know if you think I'm right on or dead wrong. Also, feel free to suggest other names for the List.

i would like to add a name to the list - OPRAH WINFREY! Basically, what you have behind all the car give-aways, magazine articles, and money is a fat, ugly, middle-aged woman w/ a half MR live in boyfriend and the religious views of a pagan hippie, Muslim, Buddhist, new age wack-job! my apologies to all the millions of soccer moms who idolize her, but i really don't see the world as being too much different without her - sure a few dozen women would be out of sunfire, and a few dozen average books wouldn't have been best sellers, and yes she does work w/ african children and all that, but so do hundreds of other people - it's just not televised! so Oprah, thanks for throwing your money around at worthy causes and wasting an hour of millions of American's afternoons, but I'll politely (or not so politely) pass! I will add more people to the list later, such as Rachel Ray and Dr. Phil, but Jamin has nailed it so far - good job bro!
I used to be a fan of American Idol, back when Kelly won and Daughtry was on but I do agree that the show needs to go away... but I am very much on board with the other two...especially Osteen...
I would add Alec Baldwin. The man can't act, he treats his family badly and he is a extream leftist political wacko.
2 words as to why alec baldwin should NEVER be added to the list - schweaty balls! if you don;t know what i;m talking about, go to you tube and search "snl - alec baldwin - schweaty balls" - anyone w/ that amount of comedic genius can;t be on the list! i will agree however that his political views are less than ideal and his family values may suck, but the requirements of the list clearly state that they have to contribute to the dumbing down of society - once again - schweaty balls my friend, schweaty balls! deuces!
