It is also very rude, and completely disregards the fact that other people may have different opinions than you, and still not be completely and utterly wrong. Frankly, if I were running this list, I'd have booted you from it long ago--not because of your opinions, but because of how you belittle everyone who doesn't subscribe to them fully. Have you ever heard the saying, "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar?" Also, that wig was hardly bizarre as Bowie went.
