Who or what, despite widespread incomprehension and incredulous despair, remains inexplicably popular?

There may be some overlap with other threads here but I felt like there was a gap to be filled. Let's start with a few obvious candidates... Boris Johnson The Conservative Party Adele Ed Sheeran Stadium concerts Banter |

What is the "universal disdain" for Adele. Or Ed Sheeran for that matter. Or stadium concerts?! (I'll give you the other ones!) Whaling in certain countries?  G

Diogenes banter in itself is fine its the imbeciles who use it as a cover to be unnecessarily provocative or deliberately offensive that is the real problem. To add to the list: Audis Richard Hammond Tottenham Hotspur Mrs Browns Boys |

Mrs Brown's Boy is right up there with the heavy hitters. Good natured joshing is fine, calling it "bantz" is not.

I think your premise is flawed Dio! Thread title should be, "Who or what, despite Dio's disdain, do other idiots still find popular?" Seriously though - some of those are just taste. But even fox hunting and whaling, which I deplore, there isn't universal disdain for - in some cultures whaling is still seen as acceptable. I won't dignify fox hunting with "culture" but some circles still think it's OK to perform random cruelty on wild animals for fun. Hmmm. |
