Hello Kitty - Random Topics
The Hello Kitty hand massagers are not a Sanrio licensed product but an unauthorized knock off. Simply Sanrio felt added negative publicity by going after the the company that made them was not worth the effort. Hello Kitty never boned. -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on April 30, 2013, 1:54 am

Firefly - TV Shows
Firefly boned not because of Fox but Joss Whedon put out a bad show. Firefly had huge plot holes like when will the passengers leave? Suddenly they become part of the crew. The biggest problem was how the show was marketed. Joss Whedon fell for the trap of the one big thing, thinking that a show success was due to the one single element, in this case (Star Trek) Fans. Mr Whedon try go gin buzz by getting fans excited about the show, it work to a point a la browncoats fans; but the writing was so poor when some fan tried to get me to watch , and when I did, I felt let down by the fan and the show. Firefly did not live up to its expectation cased by the buzz. -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on April 30, 2013, 1:43 am

Snagajob - Websites
Worst meta job search ever. They are ebaumsworld or job search site that re-post job posting from other sites and often much later. By the time Snagajob posts the job announcement the original job posting is expired or already filled. I suspect the site is more about data mining. -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on December 26, 2012, 3:27 pm

Kickstarter - Websites
My concern is the lack of accountability; there is no structure to insure the person raising the money will spend it responsibly and not just take the money and run. The downfall is when people realize Kickstarter enables crowd fleecing the flock. -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on December 26, 2012, 3:14 pm

JibJab - Websites
Exhibit one why Jib Jab boned.: No 2012 election video. I quote. "We want to let you know that, after much debate, we have decided not to produce one of our usual election satire videos this year. We've spent 2012 focusing our creative energies on our eCard business as well as developing a new product line that we are extremely passionate about that will make learning fun for kids (and easy for parents). Check out StoryBots.com for a sneak peek at what we are building! That said, we will be releasing a fun little election-themed web toy before the election. Make sure to sign up for a free account or like us on Facebook to get notified when we release it." The message I see is forget about entertaining viral videos; we just hawking cheesy eCards. Jib Jab is over over. -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on December 15, 2012, 4:42 pm

Santana - Music Groups
Yes I felt Supernatural was when Santana boned. We got rick rolled thinking we got a Santana album but we really got was guest singers and Santana acting as a lowly studio musician riding others coattails. -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on December 14, 2012, 12:27 am

Isley Brothers, The - Music Groups
Their career is just amazing in the way they transition from 50's do wop to disco and R & B and funk. Most other groups fell aside swept by the winds of musical change. -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on December 14, 2012, 12:16 am

Alcatraz - TV Shows
Alcatraz attempted to ride off the coattails of a successful franchise, in this case Lost. It could never measure up. -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on June 15, 2012, 11:25 am

Sarah Palin - Celebrities
Sarah Palin over exposed and burnd herself out first, leaving the State of Alaska and going on and staring in so call ed reality shows. Even I a Republican have a hard time seeing her as a viable candidate. -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on March 31, 2011, 10:36 pm

American Chopper - TV Shows
I never care about the show from the get go but the show became even more annoying when it became more about Junior vs Senior meltdowns than building bikes -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on January 17, 2011, 9:18 pm

Air America Radio - Random Topics
Air America Radio failure was due to redundancy and unfounded need to balance Conservative talk radio. Air America ended up competing and losing to already established libral media outlets like the New York Times and NPR -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on November 5, 2010, 11:28 pm

Space:Above and Beyond - TV Shows
The show boned for confusing militarily genres. Space tried to be part Top Gun and part Combat! with a touch of Starship troopers. The icing on the cake was sending high trained officers as ground pounders. -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on September 20, 2010, 2:18 pm

Santana - Music Groups
I feel Santana boned in the 1999 with the album Supernatural. While it enjoyed commercial success I felt it was not Carlos Santana but Santana plying back-up to a slew of guest artist. -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on August 16, 2010, 2:57 pm
