Considering I listen to music more often than I watch TV, that's a horrific sacrifice. No.

You become a superhero for a day!

BUT

Someone else becomes a supervillain for a day and becomes a Karma Houdini by the end, and you don't know who nor where this person is.

These two may literally be more bark than bite, but they are no less tenacious than everyone else.

Mmm, no.

You have the singing talent of George Michael

You also gain his sexual preference.

I'll pass.

You can be credited with starting a worldwide trend that earns great success and little hate

BUT

Since you're a trendsetter, you decide that pants (and, for that matter, shorts) are too mainstream, and you forgo them entirely.

As a person who had much negative publicity before (and in fact found myself shamed on TV Tropes through said negative publicity before, no less!), I'd pass.

You create the best quality (in innovation graphics, story, music, gameplay) game in the world.

BUT

It has such horrendous business practices (e.g. microtransactions, Origin, etc) like EA that almost everybody hates you and the game.

Then what's the point.

You get to live one day having an adventure as a Rugrats' baby

BUT

On the adventure, you meet Chutulu(IDK how to spell it) who will try and lure you in with cookies and money because you still have your adult mind.

You get 100,000 whole units of your country's currency!

BUT

For each one of those units spent, a random life dies. If your currency uses decimal values, then getting those means a random schmuck also gets broken/disabled body parts. The closer to the next whole number, the more body parts get affected and with greater intensity, and (s)he dies upon that change being completely spent if the pain hadn't already done so.

You have to clean everything by yourself, and King Boo comes by every 6 months.

There's nothing wrong with having to clean stuff. Of course, I'd probably let it all fall to pieces but I figure I could turn the mansion into a swinging bed and breakfast or something to pay for some cleaning service, plus, what's the point of having a big house and pool if you cant share? Press.

I could live with that.

You get a suit of Powered Armour.

But

It only works if you wear a complicated, uncomfortable outfit which includes every form of clothing imaginable and takes 2 hours and at least 3 people to help you put on.

What's the point if you can't even speak the truth to anybody?

You have awesome powers that allow you to create, manipulate or destroy physical matter in any shape and form, and you have perfect control over them.

BUT

You're forced to kill 100 innocents each day to fuel your hunger for souls, making others deem you a monster. Failure to do so means you die. And no, you can't create living beings to get your souls.
