Nothing went the way it was supposed to for Hillary Clinton in 2016. Bernie Sanders sapped her momentum in the primaries, leading to a drawn-out battle and an ugly convention. She was forever hounded by her decision to use a private email server as secretary of state — something that the FBI brought up again in the final, crucial stage of the election. Then, the odds-on favorite stunned political observers by losing the presidency to the man who she had warned would bring about the apocalypse. Oh yeah, she also caught pneumonia.Time to go for a long walk in the woods.
How do you come to terms with the fact that the man who is going to succeed you as president is the same guy who was the leading proponent of the conspiracy accusing you of being a secret foreigner, who accused you of founding ISIS , and who has vowed to undo your major political achievements? Smile and shake hands for the cameras!
This whole impeachment scandal was so damn weird. Basically, it turned out South Korean President Park Geun-hye was a big loner whose only friend allegedly manipulated their relationship to make financial gains. Also, equestrian was involved somehow. Anyway, she became super unpopular and was impeached. Shame!
Step 1: Appease right-wing members of your party by agreeing to hold a referendum on membership to the European Union that no one expects to succeed.
Step 2: Don’t foresee that a populist movement will gain enough support to leap to a surprise victory.
Step 3: Plunge your country into turmoil.
Step 4: End your political career as an international laughing stock.
Step 5: FML.
第一步：为了缓和右翼关系，同意进行脱欧公投——这一场被认为“绝不会成功”的公投。
第二步：没有预见平民主义者的运动会让他们获得足够的支持，取得令人意想不到的成功。
第三步：让整个英国陷入混乱。
第四步：仓促结束了自己的政治生涯，并成为了全世界的笑料。
第五步：Fu*k my like！
*注：FML是Fuck My Life的缩写，是由外国一些搞笑的人自爆自己的囧事而开创的名词。
Samsung
Staying in South Korea, who can forget Samsung, once the country’s pride and joy, but now infamous for making phones that catch fire and which airlines won’t let you fly with. The Galaxy Note brand is now effectively dead and the fuck-up cost about $5 billion. Still, they pwned Apple in the Supreme Court, at least!!
There were two people filmed making lewd remarks in that infamous 2005 Access Hollywood tape. One went on to be elected president of the United States; the other was fired in disgrace from his promising career at the Today show.
His political career already in tatters because of past sexting controversies, Anthony Weiner’s 2016 sexting led to his wife leaving him, a child welfare investigation, an FBI investigation, and the potential downfall of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
One half of Hollywood’s most powerful couple had a worse year than the other. After Angelina Jolie filed to divorce him, Brad Pitt was investigated by child services for allegedly verbally and physically assaulting one of their kids. Also, he was in that movie Allied, which was not the best.
OK, where to begin with Johnny Depp? Remember he had to film that painfully awkward video to apologize to the Australian government for sneaking in his dogs while he was filming a movie there?
But then his wife, Amber Heard, filed for both divorce and a restraining order against him, alleging that he abused drugs and alcohol and was physically violent. (She later dropped the allegations and donated her divorce settlement to charity).
After Depp altered his tattoo dedicated to Heard from “SLIM” to “SCUM,” Harry Potter fans then went nuts when Depp was announced as a cast member in the next Fantastic Beasts film. Yikes.
