ABC News has selected one of the most evil persons in the world and his wife, Bill and Melinda Gates, as their Person of the Year for 2005.

This year's competition was only open to evil high-tech executives, and runners-up included Larry Ellison ("Absolute Craziest Billionaire"), Scott McNealy ("Scariest Hundreds-of-Millionsaire"), and Steve Ballmer ("Best Dancer").

Ballmer, shown left, expresses his gratitude for the award.
