Saddam got hanged.
Saddam got hung.
Hanged just sounds right to me for some reason. Then again I'm not an english teacher.
Hanged AND hung are both acceptable..Not an english teacher, but I read alot.

you know what i did in english class? I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.

heh, I was gonna put 'quite a bit' but I was lazy, tired and a bit drunk.
You caught me.. 
Actually, a lot is wrong also, unless followed by 'of'.. as in 'I do a lot of reading'. My mom is a Brit, so I grew up speaking the King's English- anything else was unacceptable.

both are acceptable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanged,_drawn_and_quartered
hanged is the traditional way.
Yes, they're both correct in the correct context. An object is hung but a person is hanged.
Edit: in modern English men can also be hung but that's another subject entirely.
