* Using the Phillips CD-I games as a source for [[Youtube Poop]] has been frowned upon by the members of the [[You Chew]] community for years now, although some people are still able to make some funny videos using them.
* The Daewoo Lacetti (aka the [[Market-Based Title|Chevrolet Optra]] in the rest of the world (except Europe, where it's badged as the Daewoo/Chevrolet Lacetti, and Suzuki Forenza in North America, and [[Market-Based Title|Holden Barina]] in [[Land Down Under|Australia and New Zealand]].) was considered great at launch in 2002 (or late 2003, in the rest of the world, 2004 for North America), but by 2008 was considered to have lost its elite luxury image due to offering a basic 1.4-litre version, and going for the [[Lowest Common Denominator]] in equipment levels.

([FT] may be gone, but the former editors are still clearly pleased with his current fame.) In spite of the clear cases where they feel are low-talent (Sharon Stone and [[John Travolta
