are you talking about video games, sports, music, or books?:(

Last time I checked, those are all sports-related things I mention.
Although some of them have been made into or referenced by video games. And yes, that vagueness is inviting a humorous interpretation.

One interesting claim I recall from some book on sports is that, for America, the racial integration of schools in the early days had a lot more to do with sports than it did with enforcing the courts (Brown v. Board). I'd probably want to read up more on that to make sure it isn't an urban legend.
When I was in high school, I ran cross-country and remember taking a kind of pride in participating in a kind of anti-sport, all the more because we went to state every year and ranked highly, and the football team never went anywhere.

Is it wrong to want to punch Kendra in the face when she does that fake huh huh huh laugh? How about wanting to kick Kim Kardashian in the crotch for being a general waste of space vapid cunt? I guess machine gunning the housewives of Orange county is right out then. I actually don't want to do any of those things. What I want is to slap each and every person who watches that shit and ruins the prospect of anything even remotely above the level of braindead from reaching the screen. I think what TBM is bemoaning is along these lines.
All the best NFL players are from my state anyway.

Tocky. is on the right track. I've not seen such mindless drivel foisted on the public since RMN and "I am not a crook"...

You know it's getting serious when someone invokes Tricky Dick.
But back to what fett was saying-- it's our own damn fault for placing these cocksuckers on a pedestal through celebrity worship. We've somehow elevated those who can play a game to God-like status, and role-models for the kiddies. What? So we can sit back and watch them, and somehow feel good about ourselves for their achievement (or failures) all while drinking awful beer from Milwaukee? It's madness!
I for one can't wait for Brad and Jen to get back together, and make things right with the universe.
Oh, and fett, you may want to reconsider Sweden--it's full of Swedes.

Name one good band who replaced more than one original member and didn't become shit / turn into essentially a different band because of it.
Sidestepping a common definition of "good" - there are plenty who didn't really change:
Fleetwood Mac
Megadeth
Iron Maiden
Rolling Stones
Pearl Jam
Dream Theater
Porcupine Tree
NIN (maybe...)
Jane's Addiction
Soilwork
More..?

Rush? Seriously, lots of good bands go through lineup changes and remain good. I think you're better off changing the number from one to, let's say three, and asking the question again.
