The Hate List

     You've heard about it, or at least, you have if you've read The Anna Nicole Smith Scenario. Briefly put, a Hate List is a way to show the world how much you care, without screwing up your chances to win money. More and more, players are developing an appreciation for the benefits of Hate Lists, and they're taking advantage. In case you yourself have doubts about either the therapeutic or the competitive value of these individual indices of irrational ire, here's a retrospective of some actual Hate Lists in action through the years.

     As with most things in the Dead Pool realm, Commissioner Love was way ahead of the learning curve on this. Take a good, long look at Zach's first list of loathing, submitted for the '96 Lee Atwater.

     Beauty, isn't it?



     And see the latest results of your shared feelings right here. 		     Over the next few years, others started catching on, and soon the Hate List movement was blazing like a house afire. The growth was downright explosive! Growth, however, is hard. There were some difficult times and there was emotional suffering, and each of us has drawn great strength and comfort from our Hate Lists. Many's the night here on Dead Pool Mountain when the creaking wood and the menacing wind seem to be one's only friends. The Hate List, much like a lighthouse in the gloom, restores the single most important thing a wayward traveller must have: hope. Take a look at a few examples of hope, wouldja?

  • Zach's 1997 Hate List Still carrying the stiffs.com torch, down in 133rd place.

  • Greg Terzakis' '97 Hate Lists These are the very lists that led to the creation of The Mrs. Hewey Award, which Terzakis then won the next two years in a row.

  • Hate '98, stiffs.com Style This was the year we finally joined stiffs-dot-forces and made a group effort at celebrity condemnation.

  • The 1999 stiffs.com Hate List Again, we went sharesies on a list, but this time, it would prove to be a mistake.

  • Hate List '99½ By May, we were already choking on pent-up pissed-offness, and we decided we couldn't wait another week, let alone six months. Drew said he didn't hate anybody yet (pussy), so we called on our PR Guy. He came through big time.

  • HLY2Kx4 To celebrate the fake millennium, we actually got all four barrels firing simultaneously. What a mess.

  • 2001: A Hate Odyssey We're working on it, but we haven't seen Drew or the PR Guy in weeks.
