This seems like a good day for it. Here's my list of events and people that should never be used in public for comparison to something that has happened recently. Using them makes you look like an ass.

1. Hitler
2. the Holocaust
3. D-Day
4. Hiroshima
5. Pearl Harbor
(you know what? Avoid WWII altogether)
6. 9/11
7. Rosa Parks (this one is commonly abused)
8. the death of Kurt Cobain
9. the death of Princess Diana
10. the death of JFK
11. Vietnam

What have I forgotten?
