Heroes and villains of 2011Who were your heroes or villains of the last year, and why? Who inspired you? Who had you kicking the cat across the room? They don't have to be well known, you might even want to laud the achievements of your binman. (Note that "Nick Clegg nuff said" answers puts you straight onto our naughty list)

John OliverListen to the Bugle podcast. It's great.
And in 2011, John Oliver coined a new phrase that sealed his hero status with me.
On the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden, he noted that that week's Bugle wasn't some much of a tribute, as a "Fuck You-logy" to the big man. Andy Zaltzmann was audibly unable to control himself, as indeed was I for several minutes.
It helped that both Muammar Gadaffi AND Kim Jong Il were also to require Fuck You-logies later the same year.

Eulogy: (n) A speech or piece of writing that praises someone or something highly, typically someone who has just died.
Fuck-you-logy: (n) A speech or piece of writing that says a heartfelt Fuck You, typically of some global-scale douchebag who has just died.

If it's any help,Oliver and Zaltzmann are pretty much interchangeable with Robin Ince (who might be slightly more widely known).

With the exception that I have no desire to punch Oliver or Zaltzmann firmly between the eyes.And Oliver is probably a more recognisable face, given his Daily Show spot, but probably in a 'Oh! Yes, now I recognise him!' way.

Agree. "Fuck-eulogy" is a masterful invention.Save the Bugle!
The Times Online have pulled the funding plug and it's looking for a new home. Anyone on B3TA prepared to fund Producer Chris's $1M/year Coke habit?
