I thought Rupert Murdoch is Australian. Must have American citzenship now I guess. Also osama bin ladin WTF?

The lack of Stephen Fry disturbes me.

That's one scrambled looking post you have there.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

I like their work. I wouldn't go around calling Stan Lee and Tarantino geniuses. Also, as I understand, Stephen King just did a lot of drugs...that's when he did his best work.

 

[Erzengel]

Uh, where is Wile E. Coyote?

He's a super genius.

 

[terry78]

Do you view the people that could only create stuff when they were drunk or high geniuses? On the one hand, they had to use it to get to the point, yet on the other, it could have just been lying dormant.

[Mee]

Dolly Parton? Really...?

 

[GunBlade]

Quentin Tarantino..lol.

 

[terry78]

If aping the blaxploitation and asian genres is genius, then yes, he is a genius.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Hahaha, the first post looks like a big pad of steel wool, lol.

I dunno. Just seems like this list is of successful people, not geniuses. I've always liked the more famous stories Stephen King has written, but never found them very intellectually challenging.

Hahahahahahaha

 

[Figs]

A lot of those are highly questionable as geniuses.

 

[DeaDheaD]

Nelson Mandela?????? WTF did he ever do?!?!?!?

I mean he's not a terrorist or a country western singer or an animator.
This list needs less of the guys like Mandela and more Parton!!!!

 

[Figs]

Nelson Mandela?????? WTF did he ever do?!?!?!?

LOL, see? They should have just changed that list to 100 Living Famous People.

 

[Carcharodon]

Osama...lol!

You know who should be on there? Kyle Gass from Tenacious D. He is the youngest person to ever graduate from Juilliard.

 

[DeaDheaD]

LOL, see? They should have just changed that list to 100 Living Famous People.

No Paris but they put "Shunpei Yamazaki", yeah that guy in there, was he ever involved in a sex tape scandal????????? Pffft, he wishes he was Genius enough for that.
