From 2003-07-27 21:31:00; Its Celebrity Inferno!!!!
Fun little thoughts that have been running in my head lately...

Who would be in the world of Dante's Inferno in modern times?

You can play too if you like. Just post who you think belongs and where... Or you can challenge a placement. The plantiff can be either fiction or non-fiction, living or dead. Basic rule is that a person does not have to necessarily deserve the punishment, or so much responsible for the action. The determining factor is guilt 1st, then responsibility. Hell, you can even have a sense of humour if you want.

If nothing else, this is a great opportunity to open up discussion and debate.
