LONDON, England (AP) -- Readers of a British magazine have rated President Bush the year's top screen villain, for his appearance in Michael Moore's documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Bush beat out a shortlist of fictional film bad guys, including the nefarious Doctor Octopus, played by Alfred Molina, in "Spider-Man 2"; cannibalistic Leatherface in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"; Andy Serkis' creepy Gollum from "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy; and the eyepatch-wearing assassin played by Daryl Hannah in "Kill Bill: Vol. 2."

Almost 10,000 people voted in the poll, conducted by Total Film magazine. Results were announced Wednesday.

"It is possible that people have been a little bit tongue in cheek here, but they are also saying that Bush was very scary in 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' " said the magazine's editor, Matt Mueller.

I could very easily say the same thing about their choice for main villain...

Do you know which magazine it is? I wasn't aware that there was one geared towards individuals with Mental Retardation. I'd like to know what it is so I can get copies for the people I help on a daily basis. They like magazines.

Bush isn't the villain of the film. If the film was structured like Bowling for Columbine, he could have been (with Moore the hero), but as is he is closer to the protagonist of the story.

Wow, I never thought of myself as a retard...

Yes, I do read Total Film (cracking magazine but not as good as Empire) and while I didn't vote in the polls, I probably would have voted for Bush anyway- so much scarier than Alfred Molina!

:( - I'm a little disappointed that no right-wing assclown has mentioned Herman Munster yet.
