AACCKK! 175+ pages of hate posts, GONE!

Fortunately, I have the list of Reasons to Hate Ghoulish Widower up to #60. Crap... I was sure I'd saved it to #97 (which is where I edited the other night). Anyway, I'll repost what I have now to get us restarted.

Reasons to Hate Gokey/Ghoulish Widower/etc
1. He provided HOME VIDEO footage of his wedding with his deceased wife.
2. He's a smarmy douche bag.
3. He is alive.
4. He claps for himself
5. He refuses professional criticism
6. He molested a minor.
7. He is affiliated with an equally smarmy "religious" cult.
8. He's fat and disgusting....
9. He looks like a pig and makes me want to vomit
10. He is either flat and bland or over the top/overbearing/abrasive, shouting at us at the top of his wheezy lungs. There is no middle ground.
11. He has an obvious agenda, which involves hawking Gokey merchandise and taking advantage of the kindness of others by duping them with his dead wife's charity/tacky glasses fund.
12. Men pushing 30 should NEVER have a fohawk!
13. He talks
14. The hideous Motown medley dance, the image of which is posted at the top of page 2
15. The gross pelvic thrusts
16. The wife's charity is not actually registered as a non-profit. Hmmm...
17. The brother in law held up the picture of Gokey and the wife.
18. The heart symbol to encourage the fraus to vote.
19. Takes the joke too far (Matt Giraud mocking)
20. The constant smug smirk.
21. The judges praise him for singing poorly.
22. He eats all the food.
23. He needs to always be the center of attention.
24. He gets his feet waxed!
25. He is smug.
26. All those freakin' glasses!
27. He's still in the competition.
28. He's alive. He uses his iTunes track to preach
29. He is often photographed with a plate (sometimes more than one) of food in his hand.
30. His unsympathetic dissing of Tatiana Del Toro when he made the top 13 and she didn't.
31. He is a opportunist, taking the utmost advantage of whatever life offers him (pimping dead wife for votes, making the most of free food in the mansion, using his "d-list status" to score with girls, etc.)
32. His family is typical white trailer trash (for example, both his sisters are strippers. reference: Danny Gokey thread in vote for the worst.com)
33. He is constantly wearing shirts that are way too small for his corpulent frame, often with over-worked buttons that are on the verge of popping or his nipples poking through the tight material of his t-shirts)
34. Poor grooming habits. All of his pictures have a vibe that he hasn't showered in days and that he reeks of body odor.
35. Even his closest friend admits that he pimped out his dead wife to get on the show.
36. always pictured with a sneer and his tongue sticking out!
37. embarrassing people around him in order to be noticed (i.e. telling Zac Efron that Allison was hot for him even though she was clearly embarrassed by this.)
38. He doesn't listen to mentor's advice.
39. He claims he already has a career in the music business just like Smokey Robinson
40. He is stuttering dumb fuck who doesn't know how to answer questions like that Miss USA contestant who talked about the Iraq and such.
41. He pretends to be shocked when he is safe.
42. He pretends to care when someone leaves.

43. His infuriating dickbag facial expressions
44. His face
45. His insistence on taking up perfectly good space that could be wasted by someone without a body count

46. His death glare at Matt G. for putting flour on him...how dare anyone make a joke at his expense?
47. Endless Love
48. Hero
49. September
50. Stand by Me.
51. What Hurts the Most
52. Get Ready
53. Jesus Take the Wheel
54. P.Y.T.

55. I'm convinced that he has wiping issues. I'm guessing his underoos reek ten times as much as the urinals on a Saturday night at ol' CBGB's.

56. He sells bottom of the barrel crappy VOTE FOR DANNY pins on Ebay for money

57. Contrary to Pauler's drug addled opinion, his voice is about as sexy as Ebola.

58. I Heard It Through the Grapevine

59. Chin pubes!

60. Kiss from a Rose
