There are, of course, plenty of terrible things that end in failure. Annoying fads that (thankfully) go out of fasion. These should serve as a ray of hope to anyone that is currently being plagued by an unpleasant thing mentioned elsewhere.
Hopefully this will be the last place you'll see any of the following:

At the time they, like all others here, seemed unstoppable, but now The Fugees have gone. Gone, leaving us only with memories of such things as an abortion of "Killing Me Softly", and that annoying bloke who's job it was to say "one time, two time" over, and over, and over, and over ....

Unfortunately suffering the annoying double monicker from birth (due to the violent connections of the word "ninja") these plebs opened up the barriers of good taste to allow a whole slew of man-sized animal cartoons to flood children's television. They also suffered the humiliation of having Vanilla Ice in one of their movies.
While looking for a picture for this bit, I also discovered that, under cover of night, the turtles have undergone a change of image, and are now present in "The Next Mutation", which is most certainly not a failed attempt to revive their careers. Oh, no, definitely not. No.

Fig. 2.1 - The difference between the standard turtles, and this "Next Mutation" bunch, amounts to those little white discs with their initials on, as far as I can tell. |

To be honest, I have nothing in particular against the Nightmare On Elm Street series of films, they're just here as a representative of all of the horror film series (Hallowe'en, Friday 13th, etc.) that just kept going, long after they had finished being scarey (i.e. after the first half hour).
However, they are now (in an entirely ironic way) dead. Hurrah.

Once, in an age far more grim than today, it was "uncool" for men to drink lager, like football, watch T.V., and enjoy womens' bodies.
Thankfully the image of the "New Man" has gone, and has been replaced by the "Lad", or something, which lets us do all of the above. This is a Good Thing, by the way.

Fig. 4.1 - "Hi, my name's Keith, and I'm a new man. I'm caring and sensative to your womanly needs, you can talk to me openly, and I'll listen and try to understand what you're going through. I'm also as boring as an exceptionally dull thing, and should be berated on sight." |
