This year yielded an especially fruitful crop of jerks and their acts of douchebaggery, so we thought we’d put it to the vote and ask: which Latino pissed you off the most in 2008? Which did you think looked the worst, said the worst thing, or sold out the hardest? Oh the choices! Will it be the forever-shirtless pop star? The inappropriately-named “hottest man” ? Or the comedian who made us all cry tears of shame when he buried his integrity under a pile of chihuahua crap? See all ten wretched options and vote for who you think deserves the title of “World’s Most Annoying Latino.”
In no particular order of annoyingness:
Luis Miguel
Crimes= Being snotty about fruit, being snotty about face cream, positioning his hands dramatically in every head shot ever. See, he’s not scratching himself, he’s emoting.
Eduardo Verástegui
Crimes= Supporting Prop 8, supporting John McCain, being against women’s rights to choice, lunging out of the ocean all unexpectedly and making us faint.
Perez Hilton
Crimes= Whoring himself to Hollywood under the banner of promoting Latinos in America, scribbling cum squiggles all over our precious, sacred internet, this outfit:
Carlos Mencia
Crimes= His cameo in the Bud Lite commercial, his advice to immigrants to assimilate so as not to freak out white Americans, and the fact that this is the go-to guy when someone thinks of “Latino comedian.”
Enrique Iglesias
Crimes= Well, we kind of feel bad nominating him- it’s like kicking a bewildered, small-churroed puppy, you know? But the man has been waging his own personal war on shirt-wearing since like, 2000. He’ll never learn if everyone just keeps nodding and smiling politely.
Alberto Gonzales
Crimes= Oh, where to begin. Let’s start with his involvement in the NSA’s eavesdropping program, his general abuse of power (using it solely to further his party’s interests), his painfully overdue resignation and this facial hair atrocity.
Eduardo Rodriguez
Crimes= Why him, you ask? Exactly our point, why him. Why did People en Español force him into our consciousness by electing him the Hottest Man Alive? He reminds us of that guy you meet at clubs who is like…not totally toxic, and you kinda dance with him for one song but then blurt out something about checking on your friends and scurry away, hoping he doesn’t follow. And now that Eduardo is turning all fame-whorey, we can stand him even less.
Daddy Yankee
Crimes=THE GASOLINA SONG. An old crime, but we’re still healing from the aural scars. We’re also pissed that he is being held up as this model of Latino success (thanks ever so much, Harvard brats). And that whole campaigning for McCain thing- not a crime, just annoying to have to watch entertainers get involved with politics.
George Lopez
Crimes= Agreeing to play “Papi” in the atrocity that was Beverly Hills Chihuahua. There are a bunch of other good reasons to throw eggs at George Lopez, but this one trumps them all.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Crimes= Abuse of popped collars, snakeskin, man-purses, hightlights, mirrors and the list goes on…
If your eyes haven’t been turned to ashes from all the assholery, then go ahead and vote! And may the best man win.
And by win, we mean drown in a barrel of cheez whiz.

Why isn’t that guy from Sabado Gigante on here? The guy that does all the advertisements and has a super deep voice, Javier Romero, I think. I hate that guy.

Carlos Mencia is a straight up douche.
I couldn’t hate on Cristiano though, YUM.

I voted for Retardo Verygaytegui.
Only because that pic up there makes me want to pin his knees to his ears and grudge-fuck the Jesus out of him.

That’s right! Zero votes for Enrique, haters!! Lame and lamer. What about Hugo Chavez in his place!!
Duh!

Oye, my tia wants you to take down Luis MiRey from this list or she’ll have a coronary.

Alberto Gonzales… he ruined our chances of getting a Latino in the White House anytime soon.

Will we have the female version?
Posted by Daniel Mauser | November 21, 2008
Christian De La Fuente should be on this list.
Posted by Edward J. Olmos | November 21, 2008
@ Daniel Mauser: I think Paulina Rubio and JLo should be at the top of that list.

@ Mona:
Im sorry but I have 2 agree with guanabee on this one. Iwas elated he was the first one on the list. Only 2% thinks he’s fucking annoying????? He’s been chappin my ass since ‘91. Its time to pay.
@Benny Lava: LOL @ grudge fuck. Is there any other way to fuck?

OMG!!! Portuguese Cristiano is a Latino?! Siiiiiiiiiim!!!
You know how many times my sisters & i have had this argument?! i KNEW we were Latinas!
…feeling like i just won a bet (see how excited i am?! exclamation points… & CAPS!)… Obrigada!

Clearly, the title should go to Perez Hilton.

I would vote for Verastaguwheee, but I think that Benny Lava grudge-fucking him is probably punishment enough. And I can’t decide whether Perez Heeeltong or Alberto Gonzalez have harmed the country more.
I’m just glad that Penis Model William Levy isn’t on the list. He is only annoying to my nether regions…in that good way.

Guanabee, I am so disappointed in you. Where is your entry for Junot Diaz or Jessica Alba?

Although the majority of the offenses that these “illustrious” latinos have inflicted on ourselves will be shrugged off/forgotten in a year or so, it is really hard to get over what Cabana Alberto Gonzales has done to this country. He should be crowned the most shitarded Latino evah! Verastegui wins the gay homophobe award, for sure.
Posted by Bosrican | November 23, 2008
@Bosrican: when you say “Cabana Alberto Gonzales” are you implying that he’s Bush’s cabana boy? Or am I too shitarded to know another meaning for Cabana?

Wanda Sykes is latina?

@ escobar:
Is that some sort of passive-aggressive attempt to engage me? Is it something I said? Perhaps you should address the particular comment that upset you so much.
But it’s OK. I know you secretly love me. Do you see what I did up there with my play on the surname Verastegui? Then you followed it with your own version? It’s called mirroring, and it’s what people do when they’re in love. It’s not the first time you’ve done it either.
