It’s tough being good. After all, it’s been scientifically shown that people don’t actually like those Ned Flanders, do-gooder types.

Still, I’d rather take an army of cloying, selfless dorks any day over their opposites: the casually inconsiderate, the ungracious, the rude, the thoughtless and the annoying people who you interact with every day. These awful people, these worst humans, assault the senses in such a multitude of offensive ways that it’s hard to figure out what actually might be the most awful. So we’re going to try figuring out what that is.

Broken down into eight conference — Transportation, Social Media, Unclean, Money & Commerce, Interactions, Physical World, Human Body, Food & Drink — and 64 separate actions/traits/human ticks, Risky Fuel has organized a March Madness-style tournament to determine what makes… The Worst Human of 2015.

Voting has officially begun (first round below… VOTE NOW). Click the image directly below to see the full Worst Human bracket.

Whitehorse Go Down Together

Whitehorse

Whitehorse

Whitehorse’s Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland make for quite the dynamic musical duo.

On their latest album Leave No Bridge Unburned they navigate a world full of sad-sacks, superheroine prostitutes and Mars-bound lovers. It’s all very compelling.
