What's the crappiest thing this year? I mean predominantly in entertainment (nothing heavy or political).

First things that come to my mind:

Hard to beat surely - shambles of UK olympics preview in Beijing (and subsequent 'party' in UK with Scouting for Girls murdering London Calling).

That Kooks song 'Shine On'. Let's have no more of that Lennon style use of the word shine in 2009 and the vocals were terrible - especially that bit where he sings the word beautiful in soppy mockney fashion.

Getting public to bare all on TV for pretence of enlightenment, eg Trinny and Susannah getting people to strip off on a hill and make a giant figure by lying done which was revealed from aerial shot, as shown and ridiculed on Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe. Also that Dawn Porter woman and her tawdry, cringe-making show. I know, you don't have to watch it - switch off and do something more useful etc. But only had to see Charlie's show and that was a pleasure - yet enough information for judgement.
