Going on for over 10 years, people still make fun of Alanis Morissette for Ironic.
It’s been over, what, 60 years now, and people still make fun of France for surrendering to Germany.
So I’m curious, what other people or places have done things that they can never live down?
I’m just going to bring this up before anyone else does, because I’m a Clevelander: Cleveland and its burning river.
Bill Buckner.
The guy with the counter-protest sign that read, “Get A BRAIN! MORANS”
OJ Simpson. The Shamwow guy. Monica Lewinsky. Hal Briston.
Hanoi Jane will never be forgotten.
Michael Jackson and his purported love of little boys.
To be fair, he thought it was a protest sign.
Michael Fish. BBC weatherman of ‘there won’t be a hurricane’ fame after someone called and said that she thought there would be. Cue a big fuck-off storm that took down half of South-East England.
He’s defended it in various ways, including the fact that it didn’t technically qualfy as a hurricane (but only technically). Whatever happens, he will never, ever live it down.
Pee Wee Herman
Tom Cruise
Miss America…pick one, any one.
That Guy Fawkes dude could probably be let off the hook by now.
Guyana and Kool-Aid.
Steve Bartman.
Australia bowled an underarm delivery for the last ball of the final over in a One Day International against New Zealand. Just not cricket, old boy. And I’m an Aussie.
^^ Is there any video online of this delivery? I’d love to see it! Thanks in advance.
Enjoy. 
I think Brutus got off easy. Personally, I’m still pissed.
Rick Astley thought he’d lived it down, but I don’t think he’ll ever actually manage it.
Montreal mayor Jean Drapeau:
“The Olympics can no more lose money than a man can have a baby.”
The Montreal Olympics had a billion dollar deficit that took the taxpayers decades to pay off.
