Listing to portYep, it's that time of year again when everyone trundles out their favourite books, films, albums of the past 11 months. Why not 12, you may ask.

Bad Sex in Fiction Awards - not to be confused with the Bad Sex In Bed Awards.
Dumbest Person of the Year - Fuzzy Bodoh?
Most Confusing High Tech Buzzwords - eh?
Top Five Aggressively Insignificant Artifacts - no, me neither.

Here are a few suggestions ...
The proudest person to fall .... starting with Bakrie, moving on to jailed former ambassadors, taking in legislators, prosecuters, cinetron actresses ...
Dumbest idea of the year ... starting school at 6.30am? Visit Indonesia Year 2008?
And 2009?
Worst Customer Service, perhaps incorporating
