That list is bullshit: -No Mario, Link, Master Chief, Samus, Sonic, Ryu, Ms.Pacman, or about 20 other video game characters, but Lara Croft is 17? I guarantee that 90% of the population hasn't even played a tomb raider game. And grouping all "Game Boys" at number 93 is bullshit. That would be like taking Buffy, Carrie Bradshaw, Bridget Jones, etc. and grouping them as "Blondes". -House is not in the top 50? -No Hulk Hogan, Austin, or Rock? -No Pikachu? -No Power rangers?

I think they're referring to the Tomb Raider movies. This does seem like quite the arbitrary list. I had a little schoolgirl moment when I saw Amanda Woodward on there, haha.
