As promised, ShufflingDead now presents the poll for Shameful Human of the Year. After a rigorous nomination process of me picking names based on the three comments we received regarding this important issue, we have narrowed the contenders to four. Make your selection in the poll below.

First up is Steve Jobs. Mr. Turtleneck has done a lot of being himself this year, and that’s bothered a lot of people. There’s plenty to dislike, you can read the full write up for more info, but in summary: he sells you shit you don’t need at prices you can’t afford, he’s smug as fuck, he’s secretive and controlling, and he hates Flash.

Next up is Roissy. His write-up was done in 2009, but we didn’t have a Shameful Human of the Year back then, so Roissy has been grandfathered in. Basically, he’s a raging sexist blogger. It hasn’t hurt that his page is one of the few on our site that gets any comments.

The third contender is Bobby Kotick. The Activision CEO has received a lot of bad press in 2010, and it has been well deserved. The man runs his company like an assembly-line, driving game franchises, even genres, into the ground for the sake of short-term profits. Along the way, Kotick has been accused of ripping off his most creative employees for millions.

Finally, we have perennial hate vacuum Uwe Boll, who actually managed to be Shameful Human twice this year. The man argues with journalists, he boxes his detractors, we produces garbage films, and generally acts like a raging dick.

Who is the Shameful Human of the Year?

• Bobby Kotick (50%, 4 Votes)
• Steve Jobs (38%, 3 Votes)
• Uwe Boll (13%, 1 Votes)
• Roissy in DC (0%, 0 Votes)
