Movie villians are so often a sorry crowd.
It's amazing how many stupid things bad guys do in the movies. We all know it.. and we've seen countless examples in countless films... and usually these idiots repeat the same mistakes over and over and over again...
So if you ever are in the position of being an evil overlord, you should make sure that you don't make these same mistakes yourself.
But if you want to make sure, here is a great list of rules you should follow to keep you out of harm's way.... ENJOY....
Evil Overlord List
When you're an evil overlord... ... keep these things in mind.

Um... kind of curious... has anybody actually had a look at this website?
Just wondering.
And Barend, you should definitely check this out! You're the most likely candidate among us to select Evil Overlord as a new career choice.

I know these things, I'm a great bad guy...
it's a good list....
but, well... as much as I complain about stupid people, I do really enjoy the exclusiveness of the rareity of being an evil genius...
i also have the good fortune of being big strong and physically superior in combat to most people, which means i don't need any henchmen, who would just end up failing me and letting all the good guys sneak into HELLBASTARD MOUNTAIN.
I only hire temps, and even then only for suicide missions!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm such a needy person - I had to know if anyone enjoyed this or not. Glad you guys got a laugh out of it.
Sounds like you've got it all figured out, Barend. I think you're all set to ditch your day job and start up a new and exciting career.
Have you decided which group of people will you enslave and exploit?

young adults: some sort of giant reality show where they have kill each other, just to get them back for making reality TV so popular (note: I won't even watch this show)
adults: soldiers of amusement (armed with potato pealers)
the elderly: telling boring stories to the women (yes that's right girls, for all the boring coversations we've had in bars or at parties where we talked for hours before you mention having a boyfriend)
girls who dumped me: laundry
girls who rejected me: 60's style caged go-go dancers
girls who ignored me: just the one, solitary confinment for 80 years
yeah that's right!!!
friends: will join me in daily games fighting the amusment army with proper weapons, and talk about how good life suddenly is.

Sounds good to me. I have an idea about who should be in the amusement army we get to fight against....
How about an army of those idiots who love the prequels?
We can be armed with modern weapons and they can be armed with waffle bats and a high midi-chlorian count.

I was going to mention that the pause for laughter was missing from your first draft. Well done on the pick-up!
Can I be in charge of the "Resistance Group". I think it would be fun to lead these poor deluded souls into dangerous situations (that the establishment is fully aware of because I have provided a full report). A good empire needs a good resistance group in order to keep the fires of hope burning. Otherwise people break to easily.
Thoughts? Comments?

I like the idea of stirring idiots up and then leading them into a trap before ditching them... or running to a nearby chair with some popcorn to watch the fun.

I am from Brisbane (although I was born in Geelong, just next to Melbourne).
At the moment, I am representing our fine country in Seoul, Korea, on account of my Korean girlfriend.
In fact, I can see no other reason why anyone would want to work here. It's a nice place but the jobs for foreigners are pretty lousy... fancy teaching English to a horde of Korean kids with ADD, anyone?
And I often miss the clear blue skies and white beaches of our great nation. Best beaches in the world, no contest.
I think you guys are based in Sydney, right?
