Over then next few weeks I will be counting down the 15 biggest douche bags of all time.I appreciate any suggestions over the coming days since there are so many to chose from.
However, for today, number 15 is James Warren Jones.
Mr. Jones was the founder of the Peoples Temple, who convinced a bunch of simpletons to follow
him down to Guyana, to live in his little community Jonestown. He finally convinced 900 people to kill themselves by ingesting cyanide or shooting themselves. Now, it is a given that many of these followers were probably also major douches just by virtue of the fact that they followed this asshole into the jungle.He claimed to be an incarnation of Jesus, Akhenaten, the Buddha, Lenin, and Father Divine and performed supposed miracle healings to attract new converts. Members of Jones' church called him "Father" and believed their movement was the solution to the problems of society.
So today we salute you Mr. Jones, for being number 15 on the biggest douche bag of all time countdown.

Seeing as Jim Jones ended up ridding the world of 901 douches (including himself), we can look at him as a hero for our cause.
