There’s only one explanation: Mistakes were made:
Crocs
Microsoft Vista
Jon and Kate Plus 8
Fanny packs: Perhaps the last thing that broad-of-beam Americans needed was an accessory that emphasized their girth.
Abstinence-only sex education
The Apprentice: And any other television program, contemplated or actual, featuring Donald Trump.
McDonald’s McRib
Bruno
The Atkins diet: And the Metabalife diet, the South Beach diet ...
AIG
Knight Rider: All versions.
Jell-O shooters
Gladiator flip-flops: Actually, any flip-flops worn anywhere but to the shower or the pool.
Sport utility vehicles
Chocolate martinis: Actually any cocktail labeled as a martini containing anything other than gin or vodka and vermouth.
Tattoos
Can we keep the chocolate martinis if we change the name?
ReplyDeleteWhoa, whoa, there. Let's not throw out the bitters with the brown bathwater.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on all of 'em!!!

I agree with approximately half of this list. As for the other half, I'm either neutral or have a non-binary opinion. (Although, I suppose "neutral" is not an option in a binary opinion system....)
ReplyDeleteTo paraphrase: There is no thing that is completely useless - it can always be used as a bad example.

Without tattoos, how would anyone know where dead bishops are from?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you listed Knight Rider. Ok, so David Hasselhoff can't act. And, maybe you don't love cars.
ReplyDeleteBut isn't the opening narration wonderful?
"Knight Rider, a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist. Michael Knight, a young loner on a crusade to champoin the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law."
Well, anyway, at least you didn't include "MacGyver" on this list.
