There’s pretty much no debate, yeah, but we do still have a one month long cooldown, so we do still have to wait for that, even for obvious inclusions like WCE.

Question, since I didn't see anything about it on the main page: is there an amount of time I have to wait before I can add an example to this page (like a certain amount of time passing after its release/after the event happens)? Because there's an event I felt could be a natural fit for this considering what I've heard about it, but it's recent enough that I'm not sure.

You have to wait one month after release. In TwitchCon's case (assuming it's that) wait until November 9.

So an update to add onto the eventual mention: one of the injured people turned out to be unknowingly pregnant at the time, and it resulted in a miscarriage because of it. :(

I believe it needs a month's delay. Unsure what the "pink sauce" issue exactly is — looking it up, seems to be some Tik Tok influencer's recipe for some sort of dubious sauce.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
From what I heard, Pink Sauce is produced in a home kitchen (in conditions that don't match industry standards), has blatantly wrong nutritional information on the label (apparently, the creator picked lucky numbers based on numerology or something), and contains non-shelf stable ingredients (including milk) but is shipped in non-refrigerated trucks, which may have led to people getting sick from it. But I don't follow Tik Tok crap so I have no clue if things got better afterwards.

Question for the rides section: Would Action Park's Cannonball Loop qualify for the page? It's generally regarded as the nadir of the park's ride/slide designs, was noted for its many injuries, and its following is limited to the same Bile Fascination that the rest of the park has.

I don't know, since a common legend of Action Park is that kids would go there to see if they could brave all the rides, and Cannonball Loop may have been included there.

A couple months ago, I suggested a bunch of new logos to add in the "Vanity Plates" folder on the cleanup thread, but I figured this would be a better place for it. Here's what I got:
- (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-viLvipd3VA ) Grupo Cidade (1995, Brazil), featuring some of the worst video looping effects ever put on screen.
- (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OID76iHQe00 ) TV Imperial (2003, Brazil), with a really bizarre concept, bad CGI and stolen music to boot.
- (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vHamvX2ozPg ) Third Eye Post Production Studios (India, 2016), which wouldn't qualify at all if it weren't just another logo with their name plastered on it.
- (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ruJRrq2Bi6M ) L.A. Hero (U.S., 1993), which I personally don't hate but it's still incredibly low-budget and can easily be recreated in Blender.
- https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vMtmhaANRbk ) Team Video (Greece, 1989), which has a very bad pixellated zoom-out and stolen music.
- https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jy1lvHzjUUM ) Arshee Films (India, 1996) has stolen animation and atrocious original animation.
- (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bvWfE3_4DkE ) Eatabullet Inc. (U.S., 2017) is just an iMovie text template. That's it.
- https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zW-7_ONAjik ) Brentwood Kids Company (U.S., 1991) has virtually non-existant animation and cheesy-sounding kids' music that gets interrupted by a rusty door hinge.
- (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=asAzH_rqSMg ) Jester Interactive (U.S., 2001) has an extremely unsettling tone and choppy CGI that goes firmly in Uncanny Valley.
- (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka-aUs81hRY ) Melisa Video (France, 1986?), The logo just flips around a few times. The effects aren't good at all.
- (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cpWeYIv2QQE ) Anchor Bay Entertainment (U.S., 2016), while not as bad as the others on this list, it still gets a lot of fury thrown at it because it's one of the blandest logos ever put on screen. It was made to accompany (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2dgUGd1xPA8 ) the new Starz identity from 2016, which has the same reputation.
- https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pfW3iMLGHlw ) Touchstone Television (U.S., 2020) is what happens when you bring back a branding to replace another company's name for no reason other than to show that you own it now, and then forget to change the logo so it's just as bland as it was before. (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=25Awm6vOpXE This is what it was before.)
- (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4oHIaOO77MA ) Phkar Pram Production (Cambodia, 2008) has outdated CGI, and two stolen logo themes that don't even go well together.
- (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P-VVw3t7vFU ) The He Tre, or Young Generation (U.S., 1989) has even more bad CGI (although it was the '80s, so it's a bit passable this time), accompanied by a 2D animation of kids skipping together at the lowest frame rate possible, with an annoying Ear Worm for its music.
- (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ignWKz29cxY ) Fuzzy Door Productions (U.S., 2019). Maybe not as bad as the others here, but it's extremely bland, and I don't think anyone has anything nice to say about it.
- (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x9LTjwM4YzE ) Lion Base International (Nigeria, 2005) is pretty blatantly just the MGM logo but with a twist; The audio is virtually unlistenable.
- (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHRpYJ4K42s ) K 33 LN-D (U.S., 2020) is barely even an ident. It's a cheaply made image with a pointless wipe effect.
- (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=euyfIFtAvMs ) Brij Mandal (India, 2010?) has it all; bad CGI, a knockoff Fox tower and stolen music.
- And last, but not least, (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lt9XXlznGic ) Vijetha Video (India, year unknown) is easily the worst case of plagarism ever made. They didn't even try to hide the fact that they stole the DTS logo, to the point where the logo still clearly says DTS on it.
Any thoughts on these?

Should we add an entry for Green Lantern: First Flight in the Rides section?
https://youtu.be/jJfgHa49GX0 Also in the rides section, should we add Submarine Quest?
I thought about it but I'm unsure if First Flight counts because it did have a good reception initially. As the video details, it was only after the ride was tweaked that it became so bad.
Submarine Quest, on the other hand, appears to be very poorly designed and have been immediately poorly received with guests, comparable to Superstar Limo. I think it could fit.

Check out this logo for 30th Television. Yes, they thought of that. Cheap all around. It’s clear they just pasted the “TELEVISION” part from the 20th Television logo onto the 30th Century Fox Television logo (and even stretched it), then zoomed out the end part. The part of the 30th Century Fox Television logo can still be seen, and the new addition goes over the “30th” part.
I hope the consensus is that it counts, because wow. That sort of jank would be barely passable for one of those cheapo British labels that went out of business because of the video nasty moral panic. Absolutely unacceptable for a major corporation.
At least the 20th Century Fox Television Distribution logo is So Bad, It's Good because of the way it’s rendered and the overly long name.
You can also see the black border on the top and bottom of the screen after the logo zooms out too far, if you look closely. Overall, the whole thing wouldn’t even qualify as a fan-made logo, and that’s saying something.
Oh, and if the comments are anything to go by, yes, that’s the consensus.
I agree with adding it.

Now that theme park attractions are eligible for this, I suggest Journey into YOUR Imagination, a needlessly cynical revamp of Journey into Imagination, as qualifying for this trope. Much of the ride got gutted to make room for a ride that insults the audience’s intelligence right at the start by insinuating they had no imagination. Figment was reduced to a cameo, and many other elements were totally gone. The ride was overall a dull experience, and even the current attraction bears the scars of this one due to the gutting of the old system.

I’ll do the writeup: By far the worst change as part of the revamp of Epcot was the transformation of the beloved icon Journey into Imagination into a needlessly cynical romp known as Journey Into YOUR Imagination. Right from the get-go, the old ride had been gutted and many parts auctioned or even thrown away. The ride opens, in a way that gave it lower capacity than the original, with the insulting of the audience’s intelligence, by insinuating that they lacked imagination. The ride had been cut down to a measly 5 minutes of boring exhibitions hosted by the unlikeable Nigel Channing. Almost every element from the original is gone, with Figment reduced to a blink and you’ll miss it cameo. This ride only lasted all of two years, before being retooled into the current incarnation, but the scars of this version remain, such as the shortened length.

What’s done is done. And I also think Rocket Rods would qualify. A disappointing, malfunctioning, inconsistent replacement for the Peoplemover that was so bad the Peoplemover tracks remain unused today. I’d also add the fat-shaming Habit Heroes, which may very likely have killed the creation of new original characters at Disney parks.
When Paul Pressler performed the controversial redesign of Tommorowland, he green light a replacement for the low-capacity Peoplemover; the result, known as the Rocket Rods, was easily the most unsafe ride Disney had ever developed. The rickety vehicles used had uncomfortable seating, were exposed to the elements, and were very obviously never meant to be on a slow track, which was very obviously never meant for a thrill ride. The inconsistency of the ride was illustrated when it speeds up at the start with an annoying revving sound before quickly and roughly slowing down for a turn. It kept on doing this, turn after turn, making for a bumpy ride. The vehicles and track were very prone to malfunctioning, leading to fluctuating speeds and system failures. Not even a slight revision three months later could fix things, and they remained completely unreliable. It was unceremoniously closed in 2001, and quietly announced to be a permanent closure. To this day, the Peoplemover track stands unused, likely as a consequence of this disastrous ride.

Hey. You're a good writer. You don't have to consult with the discussion section to see if your entry is good once it's confirmed a qualifier. Just add it. Looking into stuff, both Rocket Rods and Habit Heroes qualify. We have our own ATT thread for Horrible stuff too. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15574101790A64005900&page=18#comment-437 link won't work so copy paste.
There’s one more, very early Disney attraction I could see fitting; the Phantom Boats; ugly little boats that were so poorly-designed that they overheated in an instant, with 14 staff required to manage them. The area around them was unimpressive at the time, and they also gave off a lot of noxious smoke. It was the shortest-lived Disneyland ride, and one that Disney rarely acknowledges today. It also has the shame of being the only proper Tommorowland ride on opening day, and the very first permanent Disney attraction to close.
Looks good.

I found out about another day 1 Disneyland ride that could count; the Canal Boats of the World, the original version of the Storybook Land Canal Boats. While it was intended to have miniature scenes and cities (and even tiny animated figures) from around the world, the ride was rushed to completion, and thus riders would only pass ugly, muddy banks (or “Fantasyland Hills”), in a sharp contrast to the rest of the land, and suffered from frequent overheating. It closed after only two months for a massive revision into the Storybook Land Canal Boats.

I'm not really in the fandom so there may be details I don't know, but does Tentmoot really count if it never actually opened? The core of the entry seems to be more about the guy behind it (who seems to have stirred up a lot of controversy and constant re-editing) than the con itself.

Nobody ever provided follow-up but I finally removed it. Every other entry in the Conventions folder focuses on the actual convention being why it's SBIH. Tentmoot focuses more on the person who created it and them being a scammer because the con never proved itself to be Horrible, since it never existed. It's more a weird case of Development Hell than anything.

"Oh, and for those hoping to collect DIVX discs out of some misplaced sense of weird nostalgia or an obsession with failed media formats"
Something about this statement on the DIVX entry strikes me as kinda mean spirited and insulting. Some people would want to find a DIVX for reasons outside the personal, such as documentations for tech museums and so on. In addition, while I was able to find plenty of evidence this was horribly received and thus deserves its entry, the article itself is extremely poorly written and contains many run-ons.

All of the "jokes" either insult the people that main the characters, or make literally no sense. Among other things, thinks that Meta Knight debuted in Melee.
Just one person's reaction isn't enough to judge something as Horrible. For all I know, the person in that video might be overreacting for laughs/views. I have seen works that were So Okay, It's Average mistakenly added as SBIH before just because someone made an angry video about it.
Well, I personally thought it was bad enough for the dishonor, but if you, Tarsier God of the Horrible Pages (sorry that I call you that) think that it doesn't qualify, I will not add it.
SP00PY month!
It's not my fault if nobody else frequents the Horrible discussions to give their opinions.
Steam Greenlight and Steam Direct were added as examples. I don't think they fit, since even if they allowed the release of games that are SBIH, they also allowed the release of some actually good games. It sounds like pointless complaining to me.
- Steam Greenlight and its successor, Steam Direct, are classic examples of a good idea ruined by Sturgeon's Law. The idea for Greenlight was that indie developers could propose games that they have been developing to the Steam playerbase to determine what games they would like Valve to publish, with only the most in-demand quality games getting the green light, so to speak, to be sold through Steam. In practice, however, there was so little oversight (if any at all) that the indie marketplace on Steam was quickly flooded with the worst Shovelware ever released, with quality games drowned out in a sea of complete and utter crap, completely failing in its stated intent to curtail the flow of bad games. Greenlight would eventually be shut down in late 2017 and replaced with Steam Direct, which was created to ostensibly help streamline the publication of indie games onto Steam. Sadly, the streamlining amounted to little more than paying Valve $100 to publish the game, with very little done to vet the games or the publishers beforehand: when it came to curtailing the flow of shit, Direct did WORSE than Greenlight! The sheer amount of utter tripe released on Steam as a result of Greenlight and Direct have provided no shortage of material for Jim Sterling.
I agree, plus if it did qualify it should go under Video Games Other.

The Xbox One reveal actually predates that year's E3 (in fact, that may have been part of the reason it went so horribly wrong), so perhaps a folder for "Video Game Presentations"?
While I did add the Xbox One reveal to Other because Nintendo's E3 08 disaster was also here and the former may have been even worse (since E3 08 didn't completely derail Nintendo's momentum - actually, perhaps the Wii U reveal counts as well, since that did?), I actually honestly wonder if it would fit better in an "Announcements and Presentations" section of Video Games Other.

Does anybody else think some of those restaurant examples should be removed? Amy's Baking Company is probably fine (although it does seem to be getting an ironic fandom thanks to its appearance on Kitchen Nightmares), but I don't see anything about Nello that would qualify it as this trope. One negative review does not make a restaurant So Bad Its Horrible, especially since the restaurant's user reviews on sites like Yelp.com seem to indicate that the food falls more under So Okay, It's Average. And, as for the ridiculous prices, I think using that as an argument violates the condition of "merely being offensive" not being enough. Same for the Captain John's example (plus, if the restaurant used to be good, then I would think that if anything it belongs under something like Fallen Creator).
Not so sure about the TGI Friday's example, since the arguments/complaints certainly seem to qualify it, but given that Friday's is a chain...

I'm cutting it. While it seems a borderline case, even the negative Yelp reviews have people claim the main problem is the prices.
TGI Fridays should never qualify. It's popular.
Honestly, unless we're talking about health violations that are never fixed or the worst staff or management ever as the main issue, tastes in food and restaurants are way too subjective, and they can't really have "objective" criteria in the same way a film, book or song can.

Any idea of other vehicles besides aircraft? I had several ideas on trains:
- The Decapod (2-10-0), at least when it was first produced in the 1880's. Unless The World Is Not Ready, it belongs here.
- The AA20-1, the sole non-articulated locomotive with seven driving axles (its Whyte notation — or wheel configuration — is 4-14-4) and built by the Soviet Union. An attempt to Follow the Leader on locomotives with more than eight driving wheels (particularly the 4-12-2 design of the Union Pacific's 9000-series), the main differences were 1) having another driving axle and trailing axle and 2) being at the Russian gauge of 5' as opposed to the standard 4'8 1/2". A poor wheelbase, with the axles too close together, doomed the locomotive to failure.
- The Kitson-Still steam/diesel hybrid, proof that hybrids with steam are really bad. A few trials on the LNER was all it had before it was withdrawn and eventually scrapped.
- The 6-2-0 wheel arrangement, putting the weight on the three leading axles rather than on the driving axle. In Great Britain, only one locomotive of this wheel arrangement, the Liverpool of 1848, was built; and in the United States it fared no better, as many were rebuilt in the 4-4-0 wheel arrangement. Very few locomotives have more than four driving wheels, and no more would have six until the Pennsylvania Railroad introduced its S1 class in the late 30's.

Does anyone think we should start a sports section? I think it should be dedicated to terrible, short-lived leagues, teams with notorious seasons, or players that stood out for being especially awful (in ability and/or ethics). Two examples I can think of right off the bat:
- Ali Dia's tenure in Southampton. Dia's a non-league forward who conned his way into joining the squad by having a friend impersonate George Weah and lie about his past experience playing for club and country. This got him a one-month contract, leading to an appearance as a substitute for the Saints in an English Premier League match against Leeds United. Dia was, in Matt Le Tissier's words, "like Bambi slipping on ice" and was thoroughly dominated by the Leeds players, ultimately causing him to be substituted off the pitch. He disappeared back to non-league football after that match and is forever mocked by Saints fans for being a liar. Here is a Guardian article and a few interesting videos on the matter.
- Derby County in the 2007-2008 Premier League season. Awful managers, squads filled with players out of their depths, and poor ownership led the Rams to 29 losses and only 11 points throughout the entire season. To this day, they are still statistically the worst team to have ever played in Premier League.
We did have Horrible.Sports, but it was put in the Permanent Red Link Club because it was completely extraneous.

Here's hydrixes attempt to recreate a Web Video section:
- All Beiber Haters Suck’s video called "larmankiller sucks and Justin Bieber rules" might possibly be the worst case of trying to be a Moral Guardian on the internet . Aside from the fact that he makes spelling errors constantly, he also outright insults the Justin Bieber fanbase's own intelligence (by saying that he does not even know who Walt Disney is). He also makes insults during other fanbases during the mean time (such as saying that Mickey Mouse has always been for preschoolers), does use some extreme Fridge Logic (such as when he said that larkmankiller brainwashed a former belieber named omegadeltazero2 with powder) and comes off as extremely hypocrite (he criticizes larkmankiller for not showing his face, but the creator of the video (All Justin Beiber Haters Suck) only showed text during the entire video). With all that in mind, it should not suprize that it is one of the rare youtube video's with 0 likes.
- "all justin bieber haters suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". This is a video in which the creator (bieberluvr1234) adresses the haters of Justin Bieber and says that they should stop hating on Justin Bieber. Aside from having no actual arguments provided (the only thing she said was that his music was good {which she showed my letting the audience show a music video of him within the awful video quality she had} and that he looks beautiful, which is very subjective to begin with), she also outright insults the haters of Jusin Bieber(especially the female ones) (for being lesbian, fat and ugly). At times she even goes completely out of character.
- Dafawfuliser’s top 11 wario master in disguise bosses just has to be on here because it is so boring to watch. He talks so slowly and points out even the most obvious of obvious. It could have been a decent list because of its decent choices and reasoning, but all of the above problems just make it painful to watch or listen to.
- Darksydephil is already a controversial Let's Player, but he set himself a new low with his 2013 Christmas special, a Grinch parody which serves as nothing more than a ego-stroking middle finger directed at his Hatedom. The video is filled with horrible rhyming, juvenile insults, and acting and costuming that makes even Chris Bores look moderately professional. Phil's detractors are depicted as basement-dwelling Trolls who are jealous of Phil's Internet "fame" (using the word very lightly) and make "shitting on him the goal of their lives" by flagging all his videos and making long montages of him failing. This is followed by an awful song and dance number that not only has atrocious singing and lyrics with even more terrible rhymes (ie. he rhymes 'trolling' with 'wife'), but outright threatens his detractors ("If I could choose between being filthy rich or going back in time to prevent your birth, fill up the Delorian~!"). Phil then goes full-on Gary Stu when he reads encouraging Christmas fan mail, complete with a sappy rendition of "Silent Night" and a disclaimer stating that their totally real letters he received. He then states that gaming is about having fun and not popularity, and that "you'll just be a dick" if you hate on (his) playthroughs. This is completely undermined by not only the fact that Phil spends several other videos whining about low views and non-existent game bugs, but by the fact that he just made a mean-spirited 9-minute video trashing his haters. Hypocrite, much?

No arguments are in sight for this one (although he tries), all he does is starting to formulate what he is trying to say (although failing miserably, as you could guess by the title of this video). After it he plays with a fart soundboard, with still nothing interesting to come out of his mouth. It should come as no suprise that after him saying to himself that what he did was rude that he said without reason that Toy Story needs to die.
- The Pissed Off Angry Gamer has made three video's. All of them so awful that they deserve to be mentioned here.
- His review of the Xbox360 (which he calls the shitbox 360). The intro is already 1 minutes and 30 seconds long, but it just gets worse, up to degrees that few people can comprehend what he is saying. The line at the end could have saved it, but it is completely undermined by the fact that the game and the consoles he reviewed were not even that bad to begin with.
- His review of the Nintendo Gamecube (which he calls the nintendo shitcube). Not only is the video quality very "very" awful, but so is the video itself. He needs an overly long time to form his phrases, destroys his console at the end of the video without you even being able to understand why and does inexplicable Critical Research Failure (such as saying that nobody will defend the nintendo shitcube).
- His review of Contra 4 is however easily his worst. He shows you only briefly the game and tells you that he hates this game just because it does not have a Multiple Lives cheat code and that you have limited lives. Than he proceeds to eat the cartridge in a very terribly photoshopped manner. Thankfully he falls from his chair at the end of the video.
- His review
- The first season of Crtl + Alt + Del: The Animated series. While season 2 has a few half-decent episodes (only from 1 to 3) and moments in its own right (which were few and far between after the third episode), the episodes of the first season are just awful beyond belief. The animation could already have been done with microsoft paint and powerpoint, but most episodes also it suffers from the main character (Ethan) being the kind of jerk the ‘Your mom hates Dead Space’ commercials were designed for and the other characters having no comedic value whatsoever. Any kind of actually decent plot even suffers from the fact that most episodes only air for 5 minutes (there are only 2 exceptions, episode 6 & 7 which shows Ethan at his very worst and episodes 10, 11 and 12 whose plot is blatantly ripping off ‘’Star Wars’’ . The other episodes (those not involving Ethan) are just as bad, with episode 5 being random takes and unfunny pot shots and episode 9 showing some of the very worst visual humor ever.
- Pimpinmast3r DX is considered to be one of the worst ranters and one of the worst countdown artists ever made. His output clearly shows why.
- His rant about anime. Not only is he confusing Anime with WesternAnimation, but his arguments on both matters are poorly valid. It seems still tolerable though, until he says how he thinks an ideal anime should look like, which should ba about a pretty boy on a motorcycle who gets to hang out with some pretty girls.
- His Top 10: The Worst Consoles of All Time shows some of the most insulting Crititcal Research Failure ever, the list itself is awfully strucured with some good consoles tied up with a few bad ones and his voice is undeniably annoying and he even starts singing wit hit.
- His Top 10 Worst Games Ever is just unbelievably offensive. His list shows lots of good games which he only put on here because he sees his opinion as a fact tied up with only a few bad ones.
- His rant about anime
- While smackaderp is a decent youtube channel, you will have to find hard to see anyone who defends his top 10 most overrated games. The whole countdown is nothing more than a mixture of obtuse Fridge Logic, stuff that he said just because someone else said it and spots on list with them having no information whatsoever. Combine this with painful visuals and you have a recipe that fits this trope well.
- Sponge Bob Shiting Plz has made some really bad video’s.
- MY TOP 100 WORST SHOWS EVER!!! is just one of them. He shows a clear list of pretty good shows all which have reached a respectable level of fame. Not only does he show only 39 shows, but the real kicker is the final statement “Spongebob is the only best show ever”.
- MY AWSOM ART WORK. A recollection of terrible artwork drawn by the artist himself only for your enjoyment.
- MY TOP 100 WORST SHOWS EVER!!!
- superflipper76 is considered to be a great countdown artist. Even so he made some very awful ones early in his career and Top Ten Worst Video Game Endings is considered tob e the pinnacle of that. It shows some pretty decent endings, but he keeps just arguing like a devil advocate that those endings are somehow bad. Even Super Flipper 76 later on said that it was the perfect example of how not to make a countdown.
- veryinvalid's review of Mega Man 9 entitled "Mega Man 9 sucks fucking balls" is considered to be one of the worst video game reviews of the internet. Already the "intro" of the video (which features him twisting around with his balls, a random shot of his hair and him Flipping the Bird in slow motion shows that you are going to see something horrible, but it just gets worse from there. Later on in his video he keeps talking about high school (and ignores his review completely), makes very offensive remarks (such as him saying that he outright does not care how many soldiers died in Iraq). He also died on purpose multiple times and blames the game for all of his mistakes. Worst of all, he says that he is a huge megaman fan at the beginning of the video, but not only does he make errors against the Canon of the series, he also later on states that he outright hates the series. It all ties up so well that at the end of the video he gives the middle finger towards youtube and everyone who watched his video.

Does my entry really insults Sweden's culture:
- Surströmming is considered one of the most disgusting foods of all time and is especially infamous for its horrible smell. Surströmming is a fermented rotting fish in a can produced in Sweden that sits in an absolutely disgusting smelling juice. The smell is so bad, that most people throw up just by smelling it. It's so bad, that Ashens refuses to taste it let alone open a can of it.

I'd argue that the entry on Haribo jelly beans should be at least rethought—the issue isn't strictly related to their product; artificial sweeteners generally cause explosive diarrhea when consumed excessively, and near every brand of sugar-free jelly beans has a warning about it.
Is this really necessary to have here? It (and the folder it is contained within) seems like nothing more than a retread of the Real Life section of Crappy Carnival. Did we not relocate Horrible/Cars to the real life section of The Alleged Car for this same exact reason?
- Lapland New Forest, which opened briefly in the United Kingdom in December 2008. Visitors to their website were promised a spectacular Christmas experience, only to find a bare field with a handful of overpriced rides and concessions, a broken ice rink, and entertainers in unconvincing snowman and elf outfits - all after paying theme park prices for tickets. Unsurprisingly, this resulted in numerous credit card chargebacks and a fraud conviction for the park's owners, not to mention Santa and his helpers being beaten up by angry guests. The director is also becoming an example of Never My Fault, blaming the park's failure on crowd manipulation and slanderous media. The Other Wiki even states that the attractions largely consisted of a single billboard depicting the nativity, lights dangling from trees, mistreated animals in chains, a broken ice rink, empty garden sheds (previously described as log cabins by the website) and a very poorly decorated Santa's grotto.

Would these two blogs qualify as So Bad, It's Horrible?
http://yourstuffsucksbigtime.blogspot.com
http://yourcartoonsucks.blogspot.com
The author establishes himself as a prick (he's like Caustic Critics such as the Angry Video Game Nerd and the Nostalgia Critic, except totally unlikeable and completely unfunny), and the blogs are larded with some rather questionable choices (Toy Story?!? WTF?!?) to pick on.

Question — can conventions be put under the "other" heading for the So Bad It's Horrible trope? Or is that just begging for a flame war? I notice restaurants got removed from the Horrible page, so I wasn't sure if adding Las Pegasus Unicon 2013 would be acceptable or not...

Anyone else think we should put the Westboro Baptist Church under organistations? Y'know, that group of nutters who picket people's funerals waving around signs saying things like 'Thank god for 9/11' and 'Fags die, god laughs.'

Sorry for the late reply, but no. No real-life organizations, especially groups like WBC. It's just a flame war waiting to happen. I don't agree with their politics or methods, but any real-life anything getting declared SBIH should not happen.
Why do most of the cute characters in anime have to be guys, or have breasts the size of my head?-myself
For Apps, should we remove the apps that are games? As it is, I see a Super Mario 3D Land Mockbuster game on both here and the Video Games page.

Cutting this and putting it here for now. Judging by You Tube videos, it's not that bad.
- The live show based on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Most fans really despise it. First off, none of the voice actress reprise they role. Only Applejack, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash appeared in this live show. The costume are horrible too. Look at their rear hoof, it looks like there's only one actor wearing each costume. And do you know that Applejack insulting Rainbow Dash by calling her Rainbow Crash in the Live Show?
Whoops, I should put it to the theater page instead.
Still, most peoples on Youtube complain about how childish even was compare to the show itself. Their rear legs looks broken, only Twilight Sparkle, Applejack and Rainbow Dash appear. And the voices. It have more than 2,000 dislike out of 1,000 likes. Even those who like are those who find it So Bad, It's Good. .... I guess only Newborn Uglies deserve to be So Bad, It's Horrible.
As of now, Willy's Chocolate Experience should be included.
