war on drugs

Wouldn't even survive a simple cost/benefit analysis. Besides, the LEGAL drugs (alcohol, tobacco, caffeine) are the ones that are being abused MORE than marijuana, LSD, or cocaine anyway.

The War on Drugs costs too much because we are putting otherwise innocent people in prison for even holding trace amounts of drugs which otherwise have no negative side effects if used properly. There is no significant benefit because the taxes just keep rising, the police system discriminates the poor, the prisons are always overcrowded, and drug use is STILL increasing.

blackjack

A card game where you basically try to beat the dealer by getting as close to a total of 21 as possible without going over. A picture card and an Ace counts as 21, or Blackjack. This is one of the best games to play when you are in a casino given the low winning advantage of the house.

If the tourists spent more time playing Blackjack, Poker, and Craps, and less time playing the slots, the casinos would be making a whole lot less money.

Keno

One of the worst casino games to play aside from the slots because the house has a high winning advantage. Basically, you pick a bunch of random numbers and pray that the stack of balls that gets dropped has at least some of your numbers. Almost comparable to Bingo.

The tourist lost $181,564 plus the cost of his car and his farm as a result of betting large sums of cash while playing Keno.

N-Gage

what the Hell were the folks at NOKIA smoking when they designed this ghastly device? You actually have to hold the phone with its width next to your ear in order to communicate, and they could have included better launch games which you can only play by first removing the battery and then adding or changing the cartridge. Not to mention the ridiculous price range. Definitely a concept designed for failure.

If NOKIA had designed the cartridge slot on the external part of N-Gage, and designed it more like a pocket calculator like many of NOKIA's cellphone product lines, and cut the price in half, the N-Gage might do a little bit better.

Kid Notorious

Some animated show that appears on Comedy Central, right after South Park. Basically features some producer guy who is always strapped for cash, causing him to invent the wierdest ideas for a play or movie. He is also accompanied by his pet cat, his butler, and his maid.

The MAFIA paid a visit to Kid Notorious's house, and threatened to break his kneecaps for not paying up the $5 million he owed them.

Genesis

SEGA's last great console before they wasted their money on add-ons and mediocre-quality consoles like the SEGA CD and the SEGA 32X.

If SEGA followed similar marketing strategies and advertising efforts on one single console as they did on the Genesis before 1992, and not wasted so much money on poor product ideas, the company would still be making consoles today.

sega cd

This SEGA console would have fared better if the company didn't spend more of their time making horrible-quality interactive movies and just focused on making games which fully exploited the power of the console.

Sonic CD, Eternal Champions, Dune, and Shining Force were some of the best games for the SEGA CD.
