Could actor Tom Cruise be even less popular than a mass murderer?
Respondents in a poll said they’d rather spend the night with deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein than the "Mission Impossible” star.
Stuff Magazine asked readers who among four personalities they would least like to share a camping tent with overnight. Cruise took the prize with 41 percent, with Saddam trailing at 39 percent. Sportscaster/celebrity reporter Pat O’Brien got 15 percent and actress/comedienne Kathy Griffin, 5 percent.
It’s been a bad few weeks for Cruise. He recently "won” an unwanted Razzie award at a ceremony acknowledging the year's worst films and stars.
Cruise - who is engaged to pregnant actress Katie Holmes - was given the Most Tiresome Tabloid Target prize for his embarrassing behavior last year, which included the now infamous "couch jumping” incident on Oprah Winfrey’s show, proposing to Holmes at the Eiffel Tower and his gushing pregnancy announcement.

Tough choice, I'd like to smack the crap out of both of them.

Stuff Magazine asked readers who among four personalities they would least like to share a camping tent with overnight. If the number is higher, fewer people would want to share his tent.

BTW, if Cruise got 41% and Saddam got 39%, how does that make him LESS popular than the Butcher of Baghdad? Someone failed Statistics (or, as I like to call it when emailing my professor, "How To Lie With Numbers")

Cruise - who is engaged to pregnant actress Katie Holmes Interesting wording. Lest someone confuse Cruise with the actual father...

I believe the question was who would you LEAST like to share a tent with overnight.

Cruise got more votes for "least".

Good actions scenes, incredibly bad acting. I'm hard pressed to recall any good acting during the eighties...

Interesting wording. Lest someone confuse Cruise with the actual father... ... a stand-in?

No surprise. Saddam is a lot less irritating.
