Forget a kick square in the balls - each of those people needs to be shot without trial.

Meh. Shooting's too good for them. I'm voting acid bath.

What about the Snuggie inventor? Or the Pet Rock? Or the Ove-Glove?

The inventor of the athletic cup.

might I add whomever invented nylons. Prior to this jackass women wore garters all the time, not just when they was wanting to be frisky

If only they could pin down who started rap music so Auto-tune would fall with it.

He doesn't need one - karma took care of him.

In 1940, at the age of 51, Midgley contracted polio which left him severely disabled. This led him to devise an elaborate system of strings and pulleys to help others lift him from bed. This system was the eventual cause of his death when he was accidentally entangled in the ropes of this device and died of strangulation at the age of 55.

That'll teach you to invent both leaded fuel for cars AND CFCs for refridgeration, Midgley.

Infomercials have been around at LEAST since the days of the medicine show.

Cracked got him on an ealier list of scientist who tried to destroy the world, I believe he made the list twice for leaded gas and CFCs.

Bainwol (equipped with his legions of lawyer minions) set to work in ravaging the bank accounts of their own customers who were, in many cases, downloading a couple of tracks from an album to see if they wanted to buy it.

B.S. People don't download something for free to see if they buy something.

True, I wouldn't mind getting rid of them as well. But I was thinking more along the lines of one or more males saying a series of words that may or may not rhyme over a synthesized beat, usually sampling or riding the coat tails of more talented musicians.

Foul. Abuse is using it. If you can't sing, you shouldn't be recording.

As for infomercials... for some stations, at some hours of the broadcast day, it is literally infomercials or a test pattern because it's just not worth airing anything else. So, your call.

farkeruk: So, the real inventor of reality TV were a bunch of striking writers who thought they were so special that TV couldn't do without them?

And reality TV (new window) was around long before the strike. And yes, that was on PBS.

I will say 'Cops' is a darn good show. It gives you your RDA of schadenfreude.

I can't tell you a CD that I've bought in the past ten years (I'd say about forty) that I haven't listened to at least a couple tracks on youtube before I buy. (with the exception of music as gifts)

True, in a lot of cases, but not always. Either way, it's funny that they peg unknowing people for thousands of dollars a song, for just a few songs, while there are people who get away with downloading entire discographies.

The guy who invented auto tune was a geologist looking for a better way to do ground penetrating sonar. Auto tune was just an offshoot of the algorithm. Even he thinks T-Pain is a no-tallent assclown
