2012 was a hell of a year! From “mega storms” hitting New York to a contentious, and often nasty, presidential election, this year gave us it’s fair share of memorable moments. It also gave us here at ReposDelight something much more fulfilling. It gave me the list of characters needed to fill our first annual “Top 5 People I want to punch in the face” post. Each one of these individuals did just enough idiotic sh%t to earn our ire.

#5)Nikki Minaj

So she decides that she wants to introduce an additional persona (Roman) to the music scene, sucks face with Lil’ Wayne right in front of Drake, pretends that she has no idea that she will end up on American Idol and then ends up on American Idol, records a song backing Mitt Romney and then backs off that position, and, in general, managed to lose any sex appeal she might have had due to hyper-inflation of her assets! Phew! Did I miss anything? This chick needs to fade off into obscurity, stat!

#4)Snoop Lion –

Most middle aged men undergo a mid-life crisis and pick up a sports car, or a girlfriend, to help them feel “young” again. However, when you have smoked as much weed as Snoop Dogg has, the few brain cells you have left would never settle for anything less than a fantastical transformation of epic proportions. Or so the story goes. World, say hello to the reincarnation of Bob Marley (you can’t make this up), Snoop Lion! Snoop Lion, say hello to position #4 on the list of people I want to punch in the face. Jerk.

#3)Mitt Romney

The D-List candidate trotted out by the Republican party as their 2012 candidate for President left much to be desired. Mostly the appearance of intelligence and/or any actual understanding of the plight of the average American (“Corporations are people, my friends.”). Romney mastered political gymnastics, nearly flip-flopping his way to the top position in this country despite insulting or threatening to ignore nearly half the US population. Which, Republicans, not surprisingly, supported. Mitt Romney, please punch yourself in the face. Or hire someone to do it, prick.

#2) Chief Keef -

Being from Chicago, you would think I would 100% support the rise of the young rapper Chief Keef. Which would make you 100% wrong. This kid, and he is a kid, blew up thanks to Kanye West but was never schooled to the rules of the game. He has been an idiot almost since day 1, fueling the flames for local beefs during one of the bloodiest summers in recent Chicago history. Things have gotten so bad that the hip-hop community has almost universally panned the teen. Lupe Fiasco even had to sh#t on him a bit. Beond that, it seems that no one told young Keef that artists should at least pretend to shower regularly. Seriously, this guy looks like he throws sand in his face before going out. He is so ashy that there is a new classification for “gray” perpetrators in use by the Chicago Police due to his existence. He’s so dusty, Egyptians think he is a living mummy. The picture we used of him above is not black and white. Seriously, dry skin, that’s that sh$t I don’t like…

And the #1 person I want to punch in the face of 2012: Honey Boo Boo –

Listen, I know she’s a kid being exploited by her inbred kin folk and an American population that celebrates train wrecks as compelling television. Still, at what point did we cross over into a “bizarro world” existence where this inarticulate, pseudo child pageant contestant, should be celebrated instead of pitied? I mean, have you ever heard this child try to speak? She makes Cajuns cringe. And, seriously, why isn’t PETA crusading for the rights of this Honey Boo Boo? Yes, I know PETA is all about animal rights, but if you can defend the treatment of stray dogs and wild house cats, you can defend the rights of a child whose diet consists of sticks of butter and flaming hot cheetos. It’s abuse, i tell you. Still, because this kid and her people feel that all of this ok, Honey Boo Boo has earned the top spot on the list of people I want to punch in the face of 2012.
