a stupid man, to show off for a girl while piloting a billion dollar cruise ship carrying more than 4,200 souls. It takes a terrible man to abandon ship ahead of the passengers he's put in danger after he runs aground. But it takes the absolute worst kind of man to say "I regret nothing" on the anniversary of the day his ego killed 32 people.

Really, Francesco Schettino? Nothing? Wait, no, that's not entirely true. The former captain of the Costa Concordia, which went down last January off the Italian coast, and which remains a partially submerged blight to this day, said he regrets trusting a lower-ranking officer with control of his ship. And he'll never trust anyone again. But he doesn't deserve to be hated.

"You don't have a chance to see who else is left... And in the moment the floor started to become steeper, you have no other option: To die, or to swim."

Congratulations, you are the worst kind of man. May your name one day be synonymous with cowardice and stupidity, and may you never see another woman as long as you live.
