* Series of horrendous acts? How about \\\"Mother Simpson\\\" where [[spoiler:Burns ran a biological warfare lab, and when Mona Simpson helped wreck Burns said \\\"my precious germs!\\\" as if to imply caring more about the germs than the people they could be used on?]] How about \\\"Bart vs. Thanksgiving\\\" where [[spoiler:Burns sends vicious attack dogs against a hungry child who tried to steal food from a windowsill, food which Burns would have otherwise disposed of?]] How about \\\"Dog Of Death\\\" where [[spoiler:Burns tries to [[BreakTheCutie mold an innocent, gentle pet dog into a vicious attack dog (despite already having plenty of them) by forcing it to watch a series of disturbing images]]?]] Remember, the image of TheMadDoctor torturing a dog is the current page image for the Disney section. Surely Burns torturing a dog ought to be monstrous too...
* Revulsion from other characters? He\\\'s hated throughout Springfield; [[spoiler:even [[ExtremeDoormat Smithers]] objected to his plan to deprive Springfield of sunlight. In that same episode, [[EvenEvilHasStandards Snake Jailbird apologized for not being around to shoot Burns]].]]
* No sufficient justification? He seems to be primarily driven by greed. [[spoiler:For what it\\\'s worth, the show does, once in a while, reference childhood memories like losing his teddy-bear bobo, but the idea of something like this being treated as an excuse for Burns\\\' behaviour is absurd.]]
* No genuine remorse? I\\\'m guessing he has occasionally claimed to be remorseful, but one has to doubt the sincerity of this when he keeps going back to his evil ways next episode. Burns\\\' isn\\\'t exactly all that averse to dishonesty after all.
* Irredeemable? Absolutely. As if it wasn\\\'t obvious enough from Burns never turning into a good guy, Lisa herself mentioned this during \\\"The Old Man And Lisa\\\" by saying something to Burns along the lines of \\\'\\\'\\\"you\\\'re evil! You\\\'re worse than evil! Even when you try to at least act good you end up being even more evil!\\\"\\\'\\\'
The supposed reason for Burns not belonging on the list was that his villainy is mostly PlayedForLaughs. Well, so is that of [[SouthPark Eric Cartman]] but he\\\'s on the list.
