WORST IDEA: NCAA women's torunament

What a shock, UCONN opened up its tournament with a rout over Hartford -- one of a variety of first-round tourney routs. This happens because there are approximately four good women's college basketball teams and maybe four other that aren't terrible. Having a 64 team tournament makes as much sense as adding some high school teams into the NBA playoffs.

WORST IDEA: Costco selling wedding gowns

I can see saving money by buying a pallet of Rice Krispies or a drum of ketchup at Costco, but a wedding dress? Seems like that might not be the area to get a bulk discount.

WORST IDEA: AFLAC dumps Gilbert Gottfried

AFLAC has dumped Gilbert Gottfried as the voice of its cartoon duck after he posted an number of "insensitive" jokes about Japan to his Twitter account. Apparently, AFLAC had never watched any of the comedian's other material if they waited this long to be offended. Comedians make jokes. Their is humor in tragedy, even if it's painful humor.

WORST IDEA: Marathoner eats only McDonalds

If you're training for a marathon, you probably won't get fat eating only McDonalds, but that won't stop your innards from getting clogged up with McNugget and "special" sauce. What exactly is the point of this exercise, to show that fast food is fine for us, if we run 20 miles a day?

WORST IDEA: Daylight Savings Time

It's supposed to save energy. It doesn't. Sticking with this ridiculous system would be like changing in our alarm clocks for roosters. It's antiquated and no longer needed.

WORST IDEA: Worrying about the Hawaii 5-0 cast

In the wake of the tsunami that killed at least 1,000 people in Japan, one of the more popular Internet searches has been checking on the cast of Hawaii 5-0 in light of the fact that the wave was headed for Hawaii. People weren't searching whether everyone on the island was going to be wiped out. Instead, they were worried about the cast of their fifth favorite TV show.

WORST IDEA: Julie Taymor out as Spider-Man musical director

All I can say is, job well done.

WORST IDEA: Wal-Mart opening small stores

Wal-Mart plans to start opening "express," locations which will be about 1/10th the size of its regular stores. This should allow the chain to fully crush all local business and force everyone to have to shop in their dirty facilities full of Chinese crap.

WORST IDEA: Airlines ditch free snacks

Airlines now charge you for luggage and and blankets or pillows on some flights and, now, the intend to do away with free pretzels. I get charging me for a bagel or a bag of Skittles, but the tiny little bag of pretzels? What does this save, a couple thousand dollars industry-wide? How long until you have to pay extra to not share your seat with a poisonous snake?

WORST IDEA: Pajama Jeans

As if Americans weren't big enough slobs, we have now made jeans out of pajama material. Bring on the SweatPantsXedo for formal wear.

WORST IDEA: Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘Glee’ return

We get it, you can sing, now how about making a movie that doesn't suck?

WORST IDEA: Hefty Heart Attack Grill spokesman dies at 29

Apparently being 575 pounds and shamelessly touting a restaurant that's proud of it's unhealthy food is a little dangerous. Who knew?

WORST IDEA: Fox News suspends Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum

FOX News has suspended the two politicians turned talking heads because they appear to be making moves to run for president, unlike, say FOX News' Mike Huckabee who is always running for president but remains on the air? And, since when is being partisan a negative on FOX news?
