The Year in Stupid: Atlanta
"Extreme Home Makeover" studmuffin and former Atlantan Ty Pennington agrees to appear at the Decatur Book Festival. After the festival prints all its posters and booklets, Pennington cancels at the last minute to go play with Oprah. Simon & Schuster promises to cajole another big name to come to the fest. Never happens. But it's a good festival without Ty. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)
