And the award for the world's worst person goes to Joe Rickey Hundley, a man who allegedly slapped a two-year-old boy on a plane and used a racial slur in the process. Joe Rickey Hundley, of Hayden, Idaho, has been charged with simple assault. His attorney said he will plead not guilty.
Bennett, 33, told authorities her son was crying as the Delta Air Lines flight prepared for landing. Hundley, 60, was sitting next to her and slapped the boy in his face, causing a scratch under his right eye, she said.
Hundley “told her to shut that (N-word) baby up,” FBI special agent Daron Cheney said in a sworn statement. “Ms. Bennett received assistance from several people on the plane.”
The mother of the child, Jessica Bennett, says that her son has become apprehensive to strangers in the wake of the incident. Hundley, the president of Unitech Composites and Structures, was suspended by his employer in the wake of the incident, though he denies the allegations against him. The incident took place as the plane landed in Minneapolis.

No, this guy isn’t going to fix your iPad. In fact, his shop had to change its name because they were getting inundated with support calls. Seriously. “Over the last 12 months I have been inundated with calls and it has reached as many as 25 a week,” the British shop’s owner, Geoff Fisher, told a local newspaper.

The BBC recently brought on Jeff Jarvis to talk about Facebook’s recently-disclosed hacking incident, and Jarvis spent three minutes laying into his interviewer. “This is irresponsible journalism,” he says in the clip above, “This is crap… There’s no story here. This interview shouldn’t exist. I said that to your pre-interviewer, I’ll say it to you, you’re just causing a panic and there’s no reason for it. Answer me that, please.” Protip: Don’t piss off Jeff Jarvis.
