No matter what anyone says, everyone can be labeled.
Here's a place where you can find out (and help determine) just what those labels are.
* * * *
How it works:
This webpage invites you to rate people according to 10 carefully selected chracteristics. By submitting your rankings, you evaluate the degree to which a person is a combination of a select group of negative traits:
tool, dork, loser, schmuck, buffoon, nerd, geek, martian, retard, creep
For a description of the definitions see the blog on this site:
Traits definitions
Everyone is a major and minor in something too. Thus, Charlie Sheen would be said to be "creep predominant" with a "loser rising".
A person gets a score in each category according to the percent of voters who ascribe that trait to the person. And as a final coup-de-grace, the person is given a total score. So you can see not just where someone falls, but also: how hard. You'll be suprised to find out how accurately this system pins down who someone really is.

How to play:
Start looking through the blogs to find a person you would like to characterize. Click on the blog and post a comment with your vote of what traits characterize this person, ranking them in order of importance. (And feel free to add whatever comments you like by way of debate and explanation). We will update the blogs semi-regularly to tally the votes and display the results.
If the person you are looking for has not yet been posted for ranking, post a comment on the main profile page and tell us the name(and provide an appropriate photo if you like) of the person you think is ripe for such judgment. If we agree, we'll post the person as a blog and let the voting begin!

A few last thoughts:
This is intended as a good-natured, collaborative game of personality analysis--a sort of Myers-Briggs of your foibles. We arrived at these ten traits by means of a rigorous weeding-out process to arrive at a perfect balance. It only takes a brief exposure to gameplay to realize that there is something magical in the way the interplay of these 10 traits manages to capture the warts-and-all essence of a person.

Typically, people with thick skins tend to enjoy rating themselves (or hearing themselves rated) in a self-deprecating and character-building way; provided they are not rated a creep or schmuck, which is pretty hard to swallow.
The game works really well with celebrities -- especially in the quest to find the elusive person who has all 10 traits.
So far, Geraldo Rivera is the only winner in that regard.
