personal Vietnam

A difficult situation that one experienced that is as traumatic and harrowing as fighting in a long and brutal war. Coined by Donald Trump in a 1997 interview with Howard Stern.
“I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world. It is a dangerous world out there. It’s scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam era. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.” - Donald Trump, speaking about his experiences sleeping with a large number of loose women and trying to avoid catching STDs

Dude: "Hey bro, I heard the Philz Coffee near your office closed down. That's a bummer."
Bro: "Dude, you have no idea! It's been like my personal Vietnam. Now I've had two choices: 1) go without coffee or 2) go to freaking Starbucks and drink that swill! There's no other choice. I'm not sure I can go on like this anymore."
Dude: "Wow bro, that's really rough. I can see how that's similar to being tortured within an inch of your life in a prisoner of war camp for three years."
Bro: "Yeah, maybe even worse."

Worst Person in the World

By far, the best segment from MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Three nominees are chosen in the order of "worse, worser, and worst". The usual candidates are the idiotic propagandists from Fox News like Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck along with other conservatives like Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Karl Rove, and Rush Limbaugh that are never called out by the rest of the media for their stupid comments and inability to do simple fact checks.

usually seen as an immature, somewhat juvenile segment by critics, it tends to be more for comedic relief and satirical purposes (as olbermann likes to use voices to make fun of the person), but has been known to take a serious tone depending on the subject.
