Hitler ruined the little moustache for everyone.  In other words, unless you're a total ---uvula---, skinhead or whatnot you wouldn't be caught dead wearing a "Hitler 'stache."

What other things have been sullied forever due to one person/group/event?

shmokes, DrewKaree, Mr. C, Chad, Dexter, Dartful Dodger, Fredster, etc.,  ruined the EE forum and therefore the entire hobby of BYOAC for everyone.  Even after being relagated to the obscurity of the PnR forum we continue to destroy BYOAC by sheer proximity for everyone, especially Chris.

Amen.  Those "new" lactose sticks of death are horrible.  They may as well just put Ex Lax in them and be done with it.

I have a deep scar by my left eye from my brother smashing me in the face in 1984 with one of their metal trucks.  I miss those metal trucks.

This is actually truer than you think!   I read a story a few months back where COWBOY RETAIL SHOPS outside of the "cowboy" states (Texas and such) were experiencing a DRAMATIC drop in business.   One retailer I remember they interviewed from the Los Angeles, California area claimed business was down by HALF because of the movie and that she was going to have to close up shop likely...

I am not ignorant of that fact. 

It doesn't address the massive problems we had where I used to live regarding the numbers of people moving from there and not getting jobs, not contributing to society, committing welfare fraud, clogging up the high schools with 20 year olds that don't intend to graduate, etc etc.

I'm not saying all of them... but there were far, far too many who did.
