It may seem like all of the news-worthy events this year took place in politics , but that’s a fallacy. There were plenty of awful people nowhere near the White House doing deplorable things across the country over the past 12 months (though most of them seem to live in Florida).
Every year, we at Mandatory select the worst of the worst of our weird news stories and present them to you in our Hall of Shame . From toilet paper tussles to poop fetish rumors to roadside sex, 2020 was just one human fuck-up after another. Read up, have a laugh, and thank the heavens that you aren’t anywhere near as depraved as these people are. (Or are you?)
