Trendstopping

These trends; whether gadgets, fashion, popular personalities, or ideas, are due for lethal injection:

1. Paris Hilton
2. NeoCon political punditry
3. "You can never be too rich or too thin" (This one is long overdue for a mortal throttling!)
4. The phrases, "15 minutes of fame", "snark(y)", "bling"...
5. Reality TV (If you possess any lingering doubt about this, I refer you to the program "Wife Swap".)
6. Blogging-for-Dollars
7. Pop-Up Advertisements (Although, if so universally reviled, why do they persist?)
8. Gaucho pants. Seriously, look in the mirror again.
9. Espadrilles. I predict a Spring fashion season rampant with twisted ankles.
10. Those ridiculous foam/plastic things shaped like animals or butlers, in which you plug in your IPod and watch it gruesomely "dance" and glow like it swallowed a string of Xmas lights.

Pretty please add to the list! So many abominable, deplorable, disgusting, disturbing things crested the tide of public fascination these last few years, I no doubt missed a few.
