your terrible ideas

PAUL REISER is about the closest this thread comes to proposing a genuinely terrible idea but 'mad about hugh' is still awesome.

87-88 style Bay Area thrash band....with horn section

a tv show called MAID MEN about former mafia bigshots fallen on hard times who need to work as domestic helpers

it's funny cuz it's true

1. An adaptation of Blood Meridian scored by Def Leppard

i'm having trouble with the premise of this thread as the original post is one of the greatest ideas i've ever heard of

I can kind of hear the theme song in my head:

"Blood muhRIIIIIdian
muhRIIIIIIDian
There's so much blood on the meridiAN!"

a whole thread of bad idea Jay z lyrics sounds promising

bong and olufsen: upmarket head shop

^^^^^ this motherfuckeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

that is one of the best ideas

I'm surprised that no-one seems to have thought of this already, but a quick Internet search didn't turn up anything: a bar band called The Tijuana Bible Thumpers.

Write an encyclopedic tome about the history of "Babyjet", a series of failed films which never actually existed.

Not a bad idea - Borges pretty much made a career out of it!

I feel like we need to refocus this thread on unambiguously bad ideas. The problem is that it seems like one trait of a really bad idea is that it must be boring (because if it's exciting or interesting then it's not really a "bad" idea to at least some people). And coming up with boring ideas runs against the appeal of sharing things in a thread with each other. So we'd just have to list things like "clean the bathtub with cleaner that isn't as good as another cleaner that you could have used", or "leave one of the clocks off by an hour during daylight savings time", or something. I guess this post was a bad idea.

GIS for terrible idea is actually pretty wonderful.

A bar called "The Thirteenth Step"

maybe these ideas are secretly so bad they're good.

unlike the movies in that "kill yourself" movie thread, which are supposed to be not good, even though you expected them to be bad, but you thought they'd be fun anyway, but they weren't.

FUCK somebody already did the 13th step! and it's in NY!

a terrible idea:

french fries (most likely of the steak fry variety) are served standing up in a short bowl-type vessel with an inch of your favorite dipping sauce in the bottom. this eliminates the need to dip into a sauce. i think it would have to be a teak fry so it was sturdy and crispy and the outside to eliminate sog.

steak not teak

see, the terrible version of that idea is that the fries are served upside-down, with the dipping bowl on top, so it spill all over the table.

lord, help

Fries made from teak wood so that they don't go soggy when they're sitting in dipping sauce?

man I don't know if this qualifies after Z S's soul searching comment, but:

a smaller camera that you can attach to the flash shoe of your big, professional camera. so while you're taking a picture, you can take a smaller picture. plus, people won't know which camera to look at, so you might catch them either looking up out of the frame or down out of the frame.

so while you're taking a picture, you can take a smaller picture

i don't know why but this is hard lolz

anything + gun seems like a good candidate:

How about a camera that looks like a gun?

Gun camera business that sells candid pictures to tourists trying to figure out how to buy tickets for the metro

"I know what you're thinking. 'Did he take six shots or only five?' And in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But the question you're got to ask yourself is 'do I add his photoblog to my RSS reader?'"

"Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot (and then upload ur pic to her Facebook page after adding a load of Blingee shit)"

Throw momma off the train - the musical

Gun that looks like a camera would be hours of fun. Or...wait I think I got that the wrong way round...

kanye west cover rapper called kanye east - he's asian, and only tours in asia. in fact, I could be kanye east.

kanye north by northwest - kanye cover rapper who does an entire set while pursued by a cropduster

i had a similar idea a couple years ago: kanye south, a caricatured rapper appealing to crowds at live-action, "hee haw"-type shows popular in touristy areas of the southeast

kanye north, rapping to polar bears

sumtimes: a mathematics course for children that only teaches addition and multiplication

i love this

wasari peas: a service that delivers a packet of wasabi peas to a loved one you have offended, along with a note imploring their forgiveness. the TV/radio theme song would go, "wasari/ oh so sorry/ peas accept my apology."

MOP JUICE

fill used Pom juice bottles (like the above) with floor cleaner & label them "M♥P".

worse yet, put a giant Pom juice bottle on wheels, label it "M♥P", and use it as a mop bucket (like the above) at grocery stores, restaurants, and the like. to complete the illusion, you could even decorate the individual strands ofthe mop head with maroon beads that resembled pomegranate seeds.

Porn Juice, sold in
Pom Juice bottles, containing the juices of your favorite adult film stars

ewwwwwww

(in retrospect, GIS-ing "porn juice" really was a terrible idea!)

Thought of Pom Juice label designer while frantically going through font after font to find one thar doesn't make "Pom Juice" look like "Porn Juice":

"Pom Juice? What a terrible idea"

yes it is! xp

although I did spy a tasty looking avocado sandwich

That wasn't an avocado
