Worst Product You've Seen

[PsychicTaco115]

Once in a while, we see a product on the market that makes us go "Who on this Earth and in every other version of it buy this thing?"

So Escapists, what product makes you think that?

For me, Kidz Bop CD's. It's a bunch of pre-pubs singing pop songs that you could easily get online or anywhere in general. It's so bad, I ripped my ears off and hid them.

Here's one of their crimes against humanity:

Oh it gets better with Kidz Bop:

I personally found the irony epic when I first found out about this. We'll have to go all the way back to Kidz Bop #2. This isn't on Youtube so I wonder if someone actually figured out why it was a stupid idea.

A song by Uncle Kracker about him having an affair with a lady....yeah, let's throw that onto the kids CD!


As for my answer to your question; a shit ton of stuff on infomercials makes me question why anyone thought that was a good idea and why anyone would consider buying it...

Everyone's favorite "Top ____" style website Cracked explains it so much better than I could ever.

How about a game about dogs shitting?

What's hilarious is some of the songs that they've covered. Including 'Move Along' (a song about suicide), 'Heartless' (a Kanye West song) and 'My Humps' (children sing about ass and titties, how entertaining). Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go punch a child in the face for every sale that this company has made.

How times have changed. The first answer used to always be this:

I still think it wins.

 

[Dead Seerius]

I don't know about you guys, but I can't tell you how often I'll be sitting on the can and think to myself 'You know what would go great with this? Golf.'

You know what's even better?

They covered "Born This Way", which is about LGBT and sexuality. WAT

--snup--

Okay, this one annoyed me for different reasons. They cut out all the lines pertaining to being 'Born this Way', because they have references to the gayness. Rampant homophobia everywhere. If someone does a cover of a song, I can respect that, but only if the artist intends to respect the message of the original while giving their own meaning to the track. This is just garbage.

 

[Antari]

I don't recall the actual name of the product as its been purged from memory. But I do know who released it. Electronic Arts.

In reality I think anything sold in a tourist gift shop is terribly made and overpriced

Either they included the line "My lovely lady lumps" or you've got to tell me how it sounded.

 

[shrekfan246]

Yeah, KidzBop is pretty terrible...

I'll have to go with this one though.

It's called Scrabble, guys. Couldn't believe when I saw that in a store one day.

Unlike some of their other songs, it doesn't seem to be on youtube. Fortunately for my ears.

When we were kids my grandma bought my sister and I Pacman: the board game. Joy was had.

 

[Scarim Coral]

This come to my mind-


Sure I can get wanting to stay warm but not wanting to raise the heating bill but seriously? You's just buying a fleese cloth shape blanket! While I would comment that it look stupid but yet again you're not wearing it for outside unless you got roommate/ family seeing you wearing that!
It also made worse that I know someone who hah bought one...

I have to add another one

This book is a waste of matter:

Book burnings, amirighgt?
