Sorry can be the hardest word. Or is that just the lyrics to an Elton John song?
Flicking through the Time retrospective we happened upon the list of the top 10 apologies of the year. Major stuff to have to apologise for publically. Among the Time Magazine top 10 apologies of 2010 were
Tiger Woods, to Everyone, for Cheating on His Wife
Taylor Swift, to Taylor Lautner in Song
Other apologies included:
Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda, to Toyota Buyers
In late February, Akio Toyoda apologised for his company’s handling of the sudden-acceleration problem in its cars to Washington and apologized to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
He had previously apologised in Japan and prior to that to his shareholders.
John Mayer, to Everyone, for Using a Racial Epithet
Trying to make a point about whether he was accepted by rappers like Jay-Z and Kanye West, John Mayer used the N word to explain that he wasn’t allowed to use the N word. Except he didn’t say “N word.”
Outrage ensued, and Mayer apologized in that very 21st century way, via Twitter. “Re: using the ‘N’ word in an interview, I am sorry,” he tweeted.
He has not apologised for referring to one of his celebrity ex-girlfriends as “sexual napalm.”
Elisabeth Hasselbeck to Erin Andrews, for Making Light of Her Stalker
The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck apologized to ESPN reporter Erin Andrews after joking that the stalker who had photographed Andrews naked could have just waited a few weeks and seen her in scanty outfitson Dancing with the Stars.

Sorry to my eczema ridden skin. Sometimes I can't be bothered to put all the medicated creams on you and that is wrong. I promise that 2011 will be better.
