I'll be the first to admit that Rebecca Black isn't the greatest recording artist in the history of music, but a lot of the hate she got was for things mostly out of her control, and her music certainly didn't have a maliciously venal intent about it. I understand why the 'backlash' arose, even if I don't subscribe to it.I'm amazed that no-one has even mentioned Rebecca Black.
For me, when I think of 'the worst of them all' I instantly think of Forrest Gump. It's the film I hate with an unreserved passion for so many reasons: the concept (why are people sitting on a park bench listening to this dimwit talk for 2 FRIGGIN' HOURS?), the performances by EV-ER-Y-ONE involved, the rampant sexism, the glossing over of certain 'controversial' parts of history whilst contrasted with the glorification of 'nice' bits of recent US history, the dialogue ('Life is like a- NO I CAN'T FINISH IT'S MAKING ME ANGRY!), the cinematography, the GODDAMN FEATHER METAPHOR, the way it's a film that spans so much time and yet has no conflict at all and finally, finally, how its central message - just sit back and do what people tell you to do and everything will just work out great for you - is so venal, and dyspeptic that it makes me genuinely throw stuff at the television if I ever have the misfortune to catch a glimpse of it...
Yeah, I don't like Forrest Gump.
