Well that's not a surprise then.

Honestly, who buys this shit?!?!?

L'il ol' tweenies... how cute

Actually, slightly off topic, but who starts the damn trends?!

I'm not a huge fan of those wrist bands. They we're tollerable, the charity bands - because funds are going to charity, however, when shops like "Situls" (I think thats what its called, collectables store in the broadmarsh) have big signs like "The new craze to hit the uk! Get your livestrong band now!" take the whole point away from supporting charity. I'm all for supporting charity - but know what your supporting - don't just buy them because your mate has all the latest bands.

Especially the racism bands, its funny i know some girls that chased a girl down the street calling her "a fucking paki" when she was actually from trinidad. Why would she support against racism when she hates "fucking pakis".

Now theres Scoubis/Scoobies... wierdo plastic band things that you have to tie up some wierdo way to make into a bracelet. Seriously, make something original, I get bored of these crazes as soon as they pop out from no where.

And that fucking frog! please! piss off!

It just shows the mentality of todays society unfortunately. There have been crazes throughout the last couple of decades. The ones from the 1990s I can remember are:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Game Boy (Tetris)

Sonic The hedgehog (And other computer consoles)

Shell Suits (Yes, I had one. In fact, my whole family had one at one point. There's a photo of all of us taken in 1991 and we're all wearing them!!)

Trainers with air cushions (I remember that you weren't cool unless you had trainers with bubbles in the heel!)

Mood rings (those stupid rings that would change colour depending on your "mood")

The Spice Girls

Teletubbies (Remember the people queuing out of shop doors to get the Tubby dolls for their kids presents?!)

Cyberpets

Charity wristbands

Crazy Frog

NEXT: Umm...if I knew that, I could become a millionaire!

Ghostbusters was a fab one. I had the gun that projected an image!

Do you remember the 'trend' at secondary school where it was 'cool' to wear your bag with one strap?

The record buying public of the UK are mostly braindead idiots, chavs and morons!

I'm not keen on Coldplay, but their stuff is many magnitudes better than the fcuking sh!te that's in at #1 right now.

Agree with you exactly, I actually contemplated buying the "Coldplay" single but knew that nothing would have stopped that f***ing Frog getting to number1. I've seen the "Dancing Teddy" this morning & apparently "Nessie The Dragon" will be the next one released in the charts

Don't forget the most annoying of them all:

I had a Thomas The Tank Engine torch. It was blue, and shone an image of Thomas' face onto the wall.

I'm not the only one then. I saw one whilst passing a car boot the other day, litterally, it was in the back of a car.
