Famous people I hateMichael McIntyre, says our glorious leader. Everyone loves Michael McIntyre. Even the Daily Mail loves Michael McIntyre. Therefore, he must be a git. Who gets on your nerves?
Hint: A list of names, possibly including the words 'Katie Price' and 'Nuff said' does not an interesting answer make

The geek Nathan BarleyOkay, he's not a celeb per se, and I would hate to use the word weblebrity as it's a shit word but there is one person who managed to stir my ire just based on their writing.
That person is Cory Doctorow.
A few years ago I started reading cyber-culture blog bOING bOING. I lasted a few months before the inane ramblings of one man became too much to bear.
That man was Cory Doctorow.
He truly is a geek Nathan Barley. So ball-achingly hip that every article he wrote was laden with up-to-the-nanosecond terminology. Drew a CDC on a picture? You remixed it. Shoving a layer on Google maps? It's a mashup. Made an anagram tube map? Please cum on my face! I also completely disagree with his stance on copyright. Creative Commons can go fuck itself.
Not the most compelling argument, I'm sure. But he is a fuck, a shit, a cunt and a useless puppet-person and I hate him.

You'll get over itPoor Cory Doctorow. It's a common complaint to be thrown off by him, and I remember when I started to care about who posted what on BoingBoing. It was only because I didn't like his posts, but loved all the others.
For many folks the thing is that he comes across as self-aggrandizing, but then you get over it when you realize, wait, he REALLY IS fucking awesome! Ok, so legitimately disagree with him on copyfight issues, but even still - you'll really learn to love him.
