An event where a person or group is publicly advised of their shortcomings. Often in an abrupt and humiliating manner.

Late 20th century coinage pertaining to a band from the UK named Five Star and a phone-in interview on a popular UK childrens television show in the late 1980s.
On national TV:
Sarah Greene: OK Eliot, what's your question:
Caller: I would just like to ask Five Star WHY THEY'RE SO FUCKING CRAP, FUCKING... <cuts out>.

That is a Five Star moment, they never really recovered from that. If you find the youtube clip, watch for the girl in black sat immediately to the right of them trying not to piss herself -TV gold!
