Don't worry, neither did we, and now the Cracked IT guys are asking why we have "Creator/DakotaFanning rape" in our Google cache.''-->--'''Website/{{Cracked}}.com''', [[http://www.cracked.com/article_15876_5-ways-hollywood-tricks-you-into-seeing-bad-movies_p3.html#ixzz2B4fmsL2e 5 Ways Hollywood Tricks You Into Seeing Bad Movies]]There are some well-known works that gathered controversy throughout the years, and there are also famously controversial works in which the controversy, whether rightful or not, would overshadow most other aspects. Which isn't to say that works in the latter category have no other redeeming factor, just that most people would know little else aside from the controversial aspects.Bad reviews alone do not make a controversial moment, and in fact some works can be well-regarded by critics and those who watched, read or played the work, and not all works listed here are either [[SoBadItsGood laughably bad]] or just [[Darthwiki/SoBadItsHorrible downright terrible]]. Plot-related twists are generally not what makes up the category either, even if such cases are subjective. The major qualifier is that the works would be known beyond the fans of a particular genre that there's little knowledge of some other parts of a work to the general public.Controversies can be a result of the following:* MoralGuardians (be they politicians or groups)* UnfortunateImplications* Public cat-fights between the creator and the media, critics, public, or all three (such as DearNegativeReader rants).* Deceptive or offensive marketing* Frequent embarrassing displays of offensive or questionable behaviour: chronic examples of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs in public, showcasing a HairTriggerTemper whenever feeling provoked, making impulsive offensive comments, use of foul language, rudeness towards fans...See also NeverLiveItDown, ColbertBump, DancingBear, JustHereForGodzilla, MainstreamObscurity, ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch, and WatchItForTheMeme. Compare and contrast NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity, and ControversyProofImage. When a whole genre gets held under controversy, it would become TheNewRockAndRoll.Keep in mind that, [[YouKeepUsingThatWord despite how it is usually used]], "controversial" is not the same thing as "offensive." You can have a completely family-friendly and non-political work that still provokes dissent, especially if the work is aiming for realism.[[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement Please be cautious about editing this page]]. It isn't supposed to imply that there's no other redeeming factor for the works on this list. It also doesn't necessarily mean that the creators ''meant'' their work to be controversial.----!!Examples[[foldercontrol]][[folder: Advertising ]]* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck14LKBI9GM This]] French Orangina ad. It barely raised an issue in France, but when a few activists showed it to the US people were so shocked by all the {{YIFF}} they saw that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn5PJTRduv0 one of the later Orangina ads]] [[SelfDeprecation poked fun at it]], only to realize that most French that saw it barely had any clue what the fuss was all about. They continued to keep the border-line furries as mascots, as their target country seemed all right with it.[[/folder]][[folder: Anime/Manga ]]* The manga ''Manga/HououGakuenMisoragumi'' barely made a blip in the US. But what was the general fan response? Absolute hatred. Both from the fans and the English publishers. Why? Because it's a manga that takes the CureYourGays route FAR too seriously, bringing along with it a whole mountain of ValuesDissonance regarding lesbianism and gender roles. The English publishers treat it as an OldShame and don't ever bring it up anymore.* ''Kodomo no Jikan'' (proposed title ''Nymphet'') was licensed by publisher Seven Seas but never released in America due to its lolicon overtones. They had only seen the first book (which isn't too bad in terms of content). Then the controversy erupted. Initially, Seven Seas defended the title, but a combination of major book chains refusing to stock it and their reading the later volumes (which come very close to violating the PROTECT Act) caused them to change their mind and drop it.* ''Manga/KoiKaze'' is well known for being about a romance between a 27 year old man and a 15 year old girl, who are also [[BrotherSisterIncest siblings]] who were separated at a young age. Despite the fact it covers the topic more maturely and realistic than other series that fact troubles the series reputation.* ''Lotte no Omocha'', for the same reasons as ''Kodomo no Jikan'' - the female protagonist is a succubus? Well, OK, nothing bad about it so far... wait, the female protagonist is also '''10 years old''' and will die if she doesn't drink [[UnusualEuphemism Life Essence]]? DudeNotFunny* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':** The episode "Electric Soldier Porygon" is known far more for causing a record-breaking number of seizures in Japan upon its initial airing and the resulting [[BannedEpisode ban on airing the episode in any form worldwide]] than the actual content of the episode itself.** ''Anime/PokemonTheMastermindOfMiragePokemon'' is more known for being associated with the controversy that followed after Pokémon USA (now known as The Pokémon Company International) fired the English voice actors that had been working on the anime since day one in favor of newer, cheaper ones.* ''Manga/BunnyDrop'' will forever be remembered for its ending where [[spoiler:the main character dates and then marries his adopted daughter (who he [[NotBloodRelated thought]] was his grandfather's child for ten years) whom he raised from childhood]] than any of its own merits before that. The anime gets off easily, though, thanks to [[GeckoEnding ending halfway through the story]] and keeping it an innocent family tale.[[/folder]][[folder: Comics ]]* ''ComicBook/{{Batgirl 2011}}'' has developed a reputation for getting caught up in a controversy of some sort every other month, greatly overshadowing the actual content of the book itself. First there was controversy over ''the very premise'' (having a well-known crippled character no longer be crippled, which was seen as offensive to the disabled), than there was controversy over one of the first villains being a guy who kills people that experienced miraculous recoveries (seen as insulting people who disliked the change), than there was outrage over the usage of an UnsettlingGenderReveal (interpreted by some as transphobic), and now most recently it's been at the center of a massive debate about the role of social justice and feminism in fiction after a cover for the comic was pulled by DC.* The first two ComicBook/{{Tintin}} stories, ''[[Recap/TintinTintinInTheLandOfTheSoviets Tintin in the Land Of The Soviets]]'' and ''[[Recap/TintinTintinInTheCongo Tintin in Africa]]'' are both controversial to this day. The first is essentially a SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped anti-Soviet, anti-Communist propaganda piece that even Creator/{{Herge}} saw as an OldShame and refused to have updated, colorized or even reprinted. The second has been updated, colorized and reprinted, but has gained more controversy since the 1960s because of the outdated colonial times imagery and very offensive depictions of black Africans. A similar thing happened with ''[[Recap/TintinTheShootingStar The Shooting Star]]'', which was made during the Nazi occupation and features a banker with a big bulbous nose as the villain, who not only looks a lot like a stereotypical Jew, but also has a Jewish sounding name ''Bohlwinkel''. Hergé denied that this was intentional and claimed the name was just a Marollian [[note]] Flemish dialect spoken in Brussels [[/note]] name for "candystore". He was actually surprised that it was a Jewish surname too. The original story had the banker being American too, which was changed in the reprints to the fictional state Sao Rico. There was also a minor scene poking fun at two rabbis, gloating over the fact that the world will end because then they wouldn't have to pay their debts off, which was also removed.* Creator/RobertCrumb has drawn a lot of stories that really pushed the boundaries of social taboos. Some of them frequently turn up in analysis about the freedom of speech because they are extremely offensive to women and Afro-Americans.[[/folder]][[folder: Fanfiction ]]* The ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureau'' and its ''numerous'' [[RecursiveFanfiction spinoffs]] are most well known for their misanthropy, UnfortunateImplications (least of which include the advocating of [[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide genocide]]), and the ''intense'' {{Flame War}}s that often accompany these fics. One spin-off writer, Chatoyance, is especially controversial for essentially taking the above and taking them UpToEleven and then some. Three particular stories stand out: ''Ten Minutes: Aftermath'', a personal FixFic that was interpreted (due to how Chatoyance posted a link right on the original author's comments page) as a [[TakeThat middle finger]] to the fans of the original ''Ten Minutes'' story; ''The Reasonably Adamant Down With Celestia Newfoal Society'', which was little more than a caustic TakeThatCritics leveled at anyone that didn't like her work; and finally, the short story ''New Universe Three: The Friendship Virus'', TCB fic InNameOnly that veered straight into UnfortunateImplications territory with its overtly [[DoesNotLikeMen misandric]] messages.* ''Fanfic/MyLittleUnicorn'' is remembered more for the author's [[{{Wangst}} wangsting and whining about MLP:FiM]] and how bad it is than the fact that it's a fanfic at all. His notoriety in the ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' fandoms haven't helped. Although people can [[InNameOnly find]] [[ComplainingAboutComplaining plenty]] [[MarySue to dislike]] [[SelfInsertFic about the fic itself]].[[/folder]][[folder: Films -- Animated ]]* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker'' is remembered for two controversial scenes: the Bonk vs. SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker scene [[spoiler:in which the latter kills the former with the BangFlagGun]], and the entire flashback scene, with the very noteworthy part near the end [[spoiler:in which Robin does the same thing to the Joker]]. Even before the film was released to video and DVD in 2000, movie companies were coming under heavy criticism for violence in films during the fallout of the UsefulNotes/{{Columbine}} shootings that had happened over a year ago, and WB felt pressured and afraid that MoralGuardians and {{Media Watchdog}}s would object that the movie would be a repeat of Columbine. As a result, the original release date (Halloween 2000) was postponed, and the film heavily edited and toned down for release on December 12. But even then, the {{Bowdlerise}}d version (especially with [[spoiler:the Joker's death scene changed to a {{Family Unfriendly|Death}} HighVoltageDeath]]) didn't help matters, but only caused unrest among many Franchise/{{Batman}} fans that lasted for over a year. That unrest thankfully quelled down when the film developers still retained the original version in shelves and eventually released it on DVD as "the original, uncut version" under the PG-13 rating on April 23, 2002 (just three days after the third anniversary of the Columbine tragedy) following an online petition to have it released. The same uncut version would be digitally enhanced and released on Blu-Ray nine years later, just as it was intended to be before the backlash, as a way of ensuring that no tragedy such as Columbine would ever happen again.* ''WesternAnimation/{{Coonskin}}'', Creator/RalphBakshi's satirical {{Blaxploitation}} re-imagining of the Uncle Remus tales. The Rev. Al Sharpton famously criticized the film without even seeing it, saying, "I don't got to see shit; I can smell shit!" This has given the film some very undeserved bad publicity that it only managed to shake off in recent times, when professional critics and black audiences praised it for being a great movie that is absolutely the opposite of being racist. Even Creator/SpikeLee is a fan![[/folder]][[folder: Films -- Live-Action ]]* Everyone will agree that ''Film/AClockworkOrange'' is a controversial film. However in the United Kingdom its reputation is more legendary because the film was banned there from 1971 until Kubrick's death in 1999. Therefore, its controversial reputation remained far more intact than in other countries.* ''Baise Moi'' was banned in France because of its unsimulated sex scenes in the context of two female rape victims having revenge on their aggressors. The debate whether this is nothing less but cheap exploitation, or not, is still going on.* ''Film/TheBasketballDiaries'' is more notorious these days for allegedly inspiring Columbine co-conspirators Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris to go on the infamous school rampage.* ''Film/TheBirthOfANation'' is a milestone in the history of cinema as an art form, pioneering many techniques that would shape motion pictures for decades to come. Unfortunately, it's also a film that glorifies the UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan and has white people in {{blackface}} portraying all Black people as either savage criminals or lazy idiots, and it has been cited as a key influence in [[TheRedStapler the revival of the Klan]] in the 1910s and '20s. This aspect has overshadowed most of its historical significance.* ''Film/TheBrownBunny'' is a film known mostly for an unsimulated oral sex scene, being booed harshly at the Cannes Film Festival, and the subsequent media catfight between Creator/RogerEbert and the director. The film was later ReCut and given a wide release, and Ebert gave the recut a three star review.* Interestingly, it didn't happen with ''Film/InTheRealmOfTheSenses''; much like ''Film/TheBrownBunny'' the film has many unsimulated sex scenes including oral and it ''also'' received harsh criticism at the Cannes Film Festival, but ultimately it was not overshadowed by it. This is probably because ''In The Realm Of The Senses'' is actually a quality film with some artistic vision. It also gained more positive reviews from professional critics than ''The Brown Bunny'' ever did or will.* ''Film/CannibalHolocaust'' was notorious to a degree that it forced director Ruggero Deodato and the actors to explain that nobody died in production and the gore was just special effects. There is still a great deal of controversy to this day relating to animal cruelty, such as an infamous scene in which an actual live turtle is brutally decapitated and eviscerated onscreen. Seven animals were killed during the film's production. Although the director himself condemned his past actions and seems genuinely regretful, many people are turned off by the presence of actual animal deaths onscreen.* Many movies which were put on the ''VideoNasties'' list in the UK during the early 1980s have gained more notoriety for being on that list than for their actual artistic merits. In a lot of cases many of these movies are fairly overrated in terms of violent and sexual imagery and it's obvious that the people who compiled that list probably didn't saw many of the films and just based their opinion on the titles or rumors.* ''Film/CloudAtlas'' will probably be remembered more for the controversy over the decision to have white actors appear in YellowFace than for its story.* ''Film/TheDarkKnightSaga'':** The release of ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' might well be overshadowed by the controversy surrounding the tragic death of Creator/HeathLedger, who played the Joker, not long before the movie premiered.** The release of ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', the final film of the trilogy, was stained by a mass shooting at its Aurora, CO premiere, with the shooter even identifying himself as SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker.* Creator/KenRussell's ''Film/TheDevils'' (1971) has been banned, censored and re-cut in so many countries that several different versions of different lenghts exist. Its offensive blasphemous content has brought more attention than the actual picture itself.* ''Film/TheEliteSquad'' already suffered before release with its digital leak. Then came the discussion on whether the aggressive special corps were glorifying police violence (though it was mostly [[ValuesDissonance overseas]]; in Brazil, reviewers knew criminality was high\cruel and [[PayEvilUntoEvil at times can only be fought by being equally brutal methods]], and also thanked it wasn't a work [[DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster glamourizing criminals]] for a change).* ''{{Film/Eraserhead}}'' has the baby. Primarily because no one associated with the film ('''''especially''''' not Creator/DavidLynch) cares to discuss what the baby was made out of, leading to persistent rumors that it was a real animal fetus...or even a real ''human'' fetus.-->"They're not even sure it ''is'' a baby..."* If you see any articles on ''Film/ExodusGodsAndKings'', chances are they're more about the film's casting choices (White actors playing Egyptian and Middle Eastern characters) than of the actual film itself.* ''Film/FightClub'': So much discussion is made of the violence and [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop underlying message]] of the film that almost nobody says anything about its actual quality as a movie[[note]]For the record, it's a superb movie[[/note]].* ''Film/GangsterSquad'' ended up having some scenes reshot because a theater shooting that occurred in the film resembled the shooting in Aurora, Colorado. Yet even with the reshoot the film as whole was deemed to be so violent that it was still hard to forget the parallel with Aurora. It didn't help that the film was released about a month after the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.* The 1968 ''Literature/{{Heidi}}'' TV movie adaptation was infamous for interrupting the end of a Jets-Raiders game, leading to numerous complaints and setting the precedent for longer-than-intended sporting events overriding scheduled programming on American television.* ''Film/HoundDog'', as quoted on the page description above, was infamously referred to as the Creator/DakotaFanning rape film by critics and moviegoers alike.* ''Film/TheInterview'' had already attracted controversy for playing an assassination attempt on a real-life dictator for laughs, but after hackers leaked a massive amount of sensitive information relating to Sony Pictures and issued terrorist threats for any theater that dared to screen the film, Sony announced they would pull the film from theaters... Only to release it in a smaller scale (limited cinemas, wide digital) a week later.* Creator/MartinScorsese's ''Film/TheLastTemptationOfChrist'' had sparked protests from religious groups worldwide, including the infamous attack at a Paris cinema where the use of Molotov cocktails injured 13 patrons and brought the theater under heavy repairs for the next three years.* Scorsese's ''Film/RagingBull'' was a rare ''positive'' example. People nowadays remember it as the movie where Robert de Niro helped Martin Scorsese kick his cocaine addiction.* ''Film/TaxiDriver'' is good enough to stand on its own merits, but it will forever be linked to John Hinckley and his attempted assassination of UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan. Even Creator/JodieFoster had to keep a low profile for many years to avoid her name to become tainted to the incident.* ''Film/TerminatorSalvation'' was dismissed by most movie critics as a rather forgettable action/sci-fi flick, and it turned out to be one of the lowest grossing movies in the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' franchise. Unless you're a hardcore ''Terminator'' fan, you probably don't remember much about the plot beyond "Creator/ChristianBale fights robots in the future". But there's a good chance that you ''do'' remember Christian Bale's infamous profanity-laced rant against the film's lighting technician, which became an internet sensation when it was recorded and leaked, forcing Bale to issue a public apology for his behavior. * ''{{Film/Melancholia}}'' gets remembered more for the infamous interview of its director Creator/LarsVonTrier about how he "was a Nazi", and then how that got him banned from Cannes.* ''Film/ManhattanMelodrama'' came into full publicity not with the film itself, but with how the notorious Midwestern gangster John Dillinger was fatally gunned down by FBI agents outside the Biograph theatre after watching the film. One of the cast members expressed disgust over the whole matter surrounding it than with the film itself.* ''Film/MohammadMessengerOfGod'' was plagued by this from the start. False rumors that it actually portrayed the Prophet Mohammad onscreen, condemnation from numerous Muslim clerics, funding from Muammar Gaddaffi, violent protests abroad and a terrorist attack in Washington, DC conspired to make ''Mohammad'' notorious for reasons other than its artistic merits.* ''Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian'' was considered by the troupe to be their best movie, but the protests surrounding its supposed heresy will always limit its popularity with religious viewers. At the time of release, protests by religious groups were described by the Pythons as the best publicity they could have hoped for. It really raised a lot of awareness of the film's existence, and led to a much higher box office taking. NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity.* Creator/MelGibson's ''Film/ThePassionOfTheChrist'' owes its record-breaking success with audiences who weren't devout Christians to this very trope. [[ItWasHisSled Practically everyone in America already knew the story]] (unlike ''The Last Temptation'', the plot itself wasn't revisionist in any way), so the most interesting two things about the movie for most people were that it was ridiculously violent for a "Christian" film (as well as being probably the only R-rated film in history that Christian leaders ''urged'' their congregations to see) and that it was that rare post-1945 Western film with (supposed) anti-Semitism as part of the subject matter. Cool.* Creator/WaltDisney's ''Disney/SongOfTheSouth'', like the stories it is based on (see the Uncle Remus stories below), is remembered more for the UnfortunateImplications of a {{happ|inessInSlavery}}y ex-slave living in the American South than for anything other than, perhaps, "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah". This aspect of the film has made it enough of an OldShame for Disney that [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes they have locked it up in the Disney Vault forevermore]].* ''Film/TriumphOfTheWill'' and ''Olympia'' by Leni Riefenstahl are visually impressive documentaries which were way ahead of their time from a technical standpoint. However, it's hard to praise these films because they were intended as Nazi propaganda. Riefenstahl was never able to distance herself from all the controversy surrounding these films and herself.* ''Film/TwilightZoneTheMovie'' will be forever tainted by [[FatalMethodActing the helicopter crash death of Vic Morrow and two child actors during filming]].* ''Film/VaseDeNoces'' is mostly a LeaveTheCameraRunning film, starring an AmbiguousDisorder man and his faithful pig, going about on random hobbies and at one point [[BestialityIsDepraved porking each other]]. That one scene is thus the most highlighted part of the film for those who've heard of it, to the point that the DVD release even added the subtitle "The Pig F***ing Movie". It's also subverted in that, according to some critics such as [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Kyle Kallgren]], the film's even-worse scenes (including unsimulated piglet hanging and eating feces) avoided public outcry due to being overshadowed by the one (simulated) zoophilia scene (which happens much earlier in the movie).* The 1996 film ''Crash'' (based off [[Literature/{{Crash}} the book of the same name]], not [[Film/{{Crash}} a 2004 film about racial tension]]) is a film that revolves around Creator/JamesSpader and Creator/HollyHunter's characters reviving their failing marriage by replicating famous car crashes and getting sexually aroused by it. The premise naturally caused the UK's MoralGuardians, most notably the ''Daily Mail'', to campaign against both the violence and the sex (the latter of which was agreed to be the source of the controversy, ''somehow'' overlooking the whole "recreating car crashes" premise) and cause a huge national debate that lasted for a few years. The film was agreed by critics to be okay, but some said that the campaigning against it had heightened their expectations, leaving them disappointed.[[/folder]][[folder: Literature ]]* ''Literature/AClockworkOrange'' by Creator/AnthonyBurgess thanks much of his infamy to the movie adaptation by Creator/StanleyKubrick, something Burgess himself wasn't happy about.* ''Literature/AdventuresOfHuckleberryFinn'' is well known for how many times the book has been banned because of its persistent use of the word "[[NWordPrivileges nigger]]". This is despite the facts that the slave character, Jim, is [[ObfuscatingStupidity the smartest character in the whole book]], and that the book is ultimately anti-racist, as shown when Huck tears up a letter meant to tell where Jim has been captured and [[BigDamnHeroes goes to save him]], despite Huck honestly believing this means that [[YouAreWorthHell he'll go to Hell]].* ''Literature/AlfiesHome'' is a children's book... about [[CureYourGays curing homosexuality]], arguing that [[UnfortunateImplications dysfunctional families cause kids to be gay because they lack the love from a parental figure]], but it's MUCH more infamous for a [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids blatant depiction of a child getting molested by his]] CreepyUncle, who is also a KarmaHoudini.* ''Literature/FannyHill'' is well known for having been a subject of obscenity tests and for having been banned in America from inception until a 1966 Supreme Court case ruled that the book has redeeming social value. When it was published in 1748, it got the author arrested on obscenity charges.* ''Literature/{{Lolita}}'' is unfortunately more famous for the controversy that surrounds it than the actual content and quality of the novel: Vladimir Nabokov went through many publishers who refused to publish it, and after it was published, it was banned in many places for being "pornographic" or "an instruction manual for paedophilia" (which it is not). Even for people who aren't familiar with the history of the book, a lot of the covers/jackets make it look like erotica.* ''Literature/FlowersInTheAttic'' is a book about four children who are abused by their grandmother. It also has incest between the two teenage siblings. The latter fact has created a lot of controversy and infamy, to the point where people forget this isn't basically an incest novel.* The children's book ''The Pet Goat'' probably wouldn't have an article on [[{{Wiki/Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]] if it weren't for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pet_Goat#George_W._Bush:_9.2F11 the fact that George W. Bush was reading it as he was notified of 9/11]], and the subsequent debate over whether he should have left or kept reading like he did.* ''Literature/{{Rage}}'' by Creator/StephenKing is probably best known for being King's OldShame after several school shootings were possibly inspired by the novel. [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes King has let the work fall out of print.]]* ''Literature/TheSatanicVerses'' by Salman Rushdie is recalled more for the ensuing fatwa declared on the author by the Ayatollah Khomeini, and for the fallout from that incident, than for the novel itself.* ''Literature/TheTurnerDiaries'', a white supremacist novel by William L. Pierce, is best known for its association with [=Timothy McVeigh=], the Oklahoma City Bomber.* The Uncle Remus stories are a group of actual fables told by slaves and former slaves in the American South, making them a valuable cultural resource. However, though once popular, they are now nearly unknown. Compiler and editor Joel Chandler Harris' fictional character who tells the stories, Uncle Remus, was written as an elderly ex-slave who was basically content to continue to work for a white family. The implied racism is now almost all that is known of the stories. The fables themselves, taken out of the Remus context, are stories about animals using their wiles to trick each other, and man, in order to survive. Unlike Aesop's fables, they are not meant to be morally instructive, but are a commentary on man resorting to animal-like behaviors in desperate circumstances.* ''Literature/UncleTomsCabin'' had a controversy that the publication of this book inspired over slavery, particularly in the years leading up to UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar. However, few people have actually read the book, even those who (inaccurately) slur supposedly servile African Americans as "Uncle Toms".* The notoriety of [[Music/JohnLennon John Lennon's]] murderer and [[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Ronald Reagan's]] attempted murderer (among other gunmen) each possessing (and claiming as an influence for their actions) a copy of [[Creator/{{JDSalinger}} J.D. Salinger's]] ''Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye'' has overshadowed any merits of the book.* The Qu'ran is this in some Islamophobic circles, including Western media. To non-Muslims, most of what they heard about the Qu'ran is how zealots, terrorists and fundamentalist crackpots misuse it. It has gotten to the point that quite some people claim the book is ''dangerous''. On the other hand, the Torah is also this to some (obviously not all) of the more particularly Antisemitic Muslim communities. In Indonesian grade to high schools for example, the Torah and Jewish people themselves are often cited as the cause for all that is wrong with the world (also the United States, which of course is also controlled by those dirty Jews); it's not rare to find a random Indonesian Muslim proudly professing to be a Holocaust denier (or better, claim that they've never even heard of the Holocaust before) when asked.* ''If You Were a Dinosaur, My Love'' is a Nebula award-winning (and Hugo-nominated) short story in which the fiancée of a comatose paleontologist fantasizes about their love being a ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. It is best known for attracting the ire of science-fiction purists who feel that it barely qualifies as speculative fiction and thus did not deserve to win awards for science-fiction literature.* ''Literature/{{Stranger}}'' is less known for its content than for the fact that it was [[DevelopmentHell unsold for years]]... simply because [[GetBackInTheCloset agents wanted to make a gay character straight or take him out completely]] out of fear the book wouldn't sell. The resulting ''Publishers Weekly'' post -- [[http://blogs.publishersweekly.com/blogs/genreville/?p=1519 Say Yes to Gay YA]] -- was widespread and led to a lot more diverse YA being picked up both by publishers and by readers, and it among many other things eventually led to the We Need Diverse Books movement. But how many people know ''Stranger'' finally came out in 2014?[[/folder]][[folder: Live Action TV ]]* ''Film/{{Ghostwatch}}'', the one-off HalloweenSpecial drama shown on BBC 1 in 1992, is better known for the controversy caused when a sizable chunk of the viewing audience thought it was real and the ensuing argument over whether this was the creators' desired effect than the fact that it's a damn fine ghost story. It makes frequent appearances on 'Underrated Horror Films' listicles as a result.* ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'' gained notoriety in 1989 for causing a Michigan housewife to launch a crusade to get it cancelled, which resulted in getting one episode banned for about a decade.* ''Series/GrowingPains'' will forever be known as a TroubledProduction where its star Kirk Cameron demanded that the show be clean of everything even remotely obscene, including having series regular Julie [=McCollough=] fired for appearing in ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'', due to being a born-again Christian. This behind-the-scenes drama has tarnished Cameron's reputation and is frequently cited by anti-theists as a textbook example of why religion is bad.* ''Series/{{Roseanne}}'' was more famous for Roseanne Barr's backstage antics and personal life than the show itself when it was on the air. For the record, it's a realistic show about a working class family. Despite shades of FashionDissonance and UnintentionalPeriodPiece, [[ValuesResonance it's relevant with the Great Recession of the late 2000s/early 2010s,]] due to many American families struggling to make ends meet.* ''Series/AmosNAndy'' was a very popular comedy radio and TV show from the 1940s and 1950s starring two black people playing stereotypical dimwitted jive talking black fools. Due to ValuesDissonance it hasn't been broadcast in ages anymore and is probably better known for the racial offensiveness than the actual comedy.* ''Creator/RonanFarrow Today'' managed to get hit with controversy ''twice'' in just its first few weeks. First, he was overshadowed by his sister Dylan going public with her allegations that she'd been molested by Creator/WoodyAllen. Then, three days after his show premiered, he was awarded the Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism and Exploration. While the award was unrelated to his work on his show (Farrow had previously worked for years in a variety of roles that might justify his getting the award) the fact that the award came so soon after the premiere of his show made him look like an over-privileged celebrity scion, an image that he wasn't able to shake, particularly not after someone released a memo to the press declaring that Farrow would not take "off-topic" questions during the pressers for the Cronkite Award ceremony. Incidentally, his show suffered from chronic low ratings and lasted only a year.[[/folder]][[folder: Music ]]* BlackMetal is mostly associated with crimes committed by a few of its members. This was not helped by said members exaggerating their own acts. As noted by Lords of Chaos in reference to an article in Kerrang:--> Like it or not, however, the Kerrang! article was what brought Norwegian Black Metal to the rest of the world's attention. It probably meant the crimes would eternally overshadow the music, but it was undoubtedly the best piece of international P.R. the scene would ever receive.* This trope tends to be [[ZigZaggingTrope zigzaged]] with hip-hop artists. Sometimes they're overshadowed by controversy, other times they're ''[[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity FUELED]]'' by it.* Fear of this trope was what caused Music/IceT to remove "Cop Killer" from Music/BodyCount's debut album, ''Music/{{Body Count|Album}}'' as he felt that the controversy over its lyrical content had eclipsed its musical merits.* Music/IgorStravinsky 's ''Theatre/TheRiteOfSpring'' is universally praised for being a milestone in classical music and music in general. Yet the infamous story of the riots during its premier will forever remain associated with the piece.* Music/MichaelJackson's career went through an interesting loop with this trope. From 1986 on he became increasingly more notorious for controversial issues such as his facelifts, his ever-whitening skin color, his daft ManChild behaviour and the child molestation accusations. It got to the point that he was basically a walking punchline for the last decades of his life. After being cleared from the child molestation accusations in 2005 his public image got a change for the better. Radio stations started giving his music more airplay, critics started to focus on his musical legacy again and after his death he was literally beatified to the point that the same media who had hounded him for years now praised him as a musical genius, innovator and trendsetter. Nowadays it's no longer embarrassing to like his music, but reports of child molestation still keep popping up from time to time.* Malevolent Creation is still a reasonably big name in death metal, but while many people believe that they have been treading water musically for a while, the general consensus as to why they're not a bigger name even after all these years (aside from some [[ScrewedByTheNetwork label issues that genuinely were not their fault]]) is the fact that Phil Fasciana and Jason Blachowicz have both become infamous for racist and homophobic comments (and, in Phil's case, the [[NeverLiveItDown "foiled a robbery while going to buy chocolate milk and accidentally killed a dude"]] story that was quickly proven to be complete and utter bullshit by Fort Lauderdale police even as he still vehemently insisted that it happened) and general JerkAss behavior. While they have multiple albums that are still regarded as classics, most metal fans know them less for the music and more for the drama and generally idiotic and childish behavior that has surrounded them for a while now.* Notorious criminal UsefulNotes/CharlesManson has caused some pop songs to gain unwanted notoriety. For instance, the tracks "Helter Skelter" and "Piggies" from ''Music/TheWhiteAlbum'' by Music/TheBeatles inspired him and his cult to go killing. They even wrote the song titles on the walls, smeared with the blood of their victims. Similarly the track "Never Learn Not To Love" from Music/TheBeachBoys' ''Music/TwentyTwenty'' has gained notoriety because it was written by Manson. Only a couple of months after the release of this album he would be arrested. If the murders had happened earlier the single would have likely been omitted from the album.* Music/MarilynManson was a very controversial group in all of music during the mid to late 1990's, garnering everything from concert protests to being blamed for the Columbine shootings... but outside his fanbase and 1990s rock fans you'll find more people who know him as a result of the controversy than for his actual music.* Music/MilliVanilli was once a popular group, but after a scandal broke out revealing the fact that they playbacked all their songs they became a universal shame. To this day nobody in their right mind can admit liking their hits without addressing the playback scandal.* Music/RichardWagner: Another example of a composer who is widely seen as important, innovative and influential, yet also notorious for his antisemitism. His case isn't helped by the fact that so many Nazi members, including UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, adored his operas. This is the main reason why the composers' work is banned from being performed in Israel.* Music/TheSexPistols are mostly known for trying to play "God Save The Queen" from a barge during the Queen's Jubilee after being prohibited from playing the song on land. Much of the [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity bad press was intentional.]] As was the bad press they received for "Belsen Was a Gas", which was more of the DudeNotFunny variety.* Music/YokoOno: She has been the subject of hate and derision by many Beatle fans for supposedly causing the split of Music/TheBeatles and turning Music/JohnLennon's music into too many unenjoyable experimental, pointless, too politically heavy handed and/or Yoko obsessive songs. And that's not mentioning her own incomprehensible art, left alone her OneWomanWail singing. All these aspects have made her perhaps the most recognizable AvantGardeMusic artist of all time, but not the most popular by any length. In old age she is getting a bit more recognition for her work, but the controvery stays. A special case in point is Lennon and Yoko's debut album, ''Music/UnfinishedMusicNo1TwoVirgins'', which caused scandal because it featured them both fully frontal naked on the album cover. This aspect completely overshadowed the actual content of the record, which is basically experimental noise. Even today it is [[MainstreamObscurity far better known for the nudity on the cover than the recording itself]].[[/folder]][[folder: New Media ]]* ''{{VideoGame/Evony}}'', a browser-based, [[AllegedlyFreeGame allegedly free]] strategy game, is more known for its infamous advertising campaign and [[LadyNotAppearingInThisGame false promises of boobs]] than for anything else. On top of that, the publishers have been accused of plagiarism, spamming, and distributing spyware, and they [[http://www.bruceongames.com/2009/08/25/evony-want-to-sue-me-for-telling-the-truth/ tried to sue a British blogger for libel]] for pointing it out (which [[StreisandEffect backfired predictably]]).* Very few knew of ''Innocence of Muslims'' on Website/YouTube until protests in the Muslim world were triggered after an excerpt was aired on an Egyptian television station.[[/folder]][[folder: Professional Wrestling ]]* In June 2007, WWE's ''Vengeance'' pay-per-view was relaunched as ''Night of Champions'', which continues to this day. At the time, WWE had nine championships, and this first ''Night of Champions'' was the first time that all of them were defended in the same night. But hardly anybody remembers that, because what they ''do'' remember is that Wrestling/JohnMorrison unexpectedly won the ECW Championship because he was booked in place of Wrestling/ChrisBenoit, who no-showed the event because he was busy murdering his wife and child and then committing suicide. Not only was Benoit's reputation forever tarnished, but Morrison has (at least with some people) [[NeverLiveItDown yet to live down]] the fact that he rose to main-event status in WWE entirely because of an offscreen tragedy.* Chris Benoit's entire career is now tarnished by how [[PaterFamilicide he ended his (and his family's) life.]]* {{Wrestling/WWE}}'s 1999 ''Over the Edge'' pay-per-view will forever be known as the event where Wrestling/OwenHart fell to his death. Vince [=McMahon's=] decision to keep the pay-per-view going despite Owen's death remains one of the most controversial topics in professional wrestling circles to this day.* Survivor Series 1997: The Wrestling/MontrealScrewjob. There were six other matches on the card. Does anybody remember those?[[/folder]][[folder: Sports ]]* Baseball player Ty Cobb. One of the champions in his field, but his reputation suffers from the fact that he was a surly tempered man and an unshameful racist too.* Cyclist Lance Armstrong, winner of a record breaking 7 Tour de France contests. All stripped afterwards when it turned out he had used a complicated and water tight system to use doping. It seems unlikely he will ever be trusted again.* Tonya Harding, a promising figure skater able to pull extremely difficult tricks that few were able to back then (like the triple axel jump), but apparently ordered an attack on fellow figure skater Nancy Kerrigan with a telescoping baton so she could defeat her rival that way. (She has always claimed it was not her idea, but her abusive and obsessive ex-husband's.) The case came out afterwards and she was sentenced guilty to racketeering, stripped of all her titles and banned from figure skating for life. Since then she only gets in the news media for the kind of behaviour you wouldn't want to become famous for; it doesn't help that, whether innocent or not, she has some serious character flaws that make it difficult for her to endear herself to the public. She continues to have some fans though, especially among people who believe her to be the victim of a smear campaign, or for TakingTheHeat for something ''her husband'' ordered ''someone else'' to do.* Boxer Mike Tyson, once world champion boxing, nowadays more notorious for the [[TheTysonZone numerous violent incidents in his private life]], including an alleged rape and biting off Evander Holyfield's ear.* O.J. Simpson's achievements as an American footballer and actor have been overshadowed by the controversy over his involvement in the murder of his wife and her boyfriend. Most people today know him solely for the murder scandal.* Tennis player John [=McEnroe=] was one of the most glorious champions in his sport, even managing to give Björn Borg a difficult time during Wimbledon 1980. Yet he mostly lives on in people's memories for his HairTriggerTemper and F-Word induced yelling at the referee during many matches. It has gotten to the point that there's more demand to see that kind of archive footage again than him winning his games.* French soccer champion Zinedine Zidane is world famous for one incident during his final game where he [[UseYourHead headbutted another player]]. Especially to people who don't know much about soccer, like American citizens, this is all they know about him. What's especially embarrassing was that Zidane's disqualification as a result of the headbutt cost France its victory in the 2006 World Cup game with Italy. What usually isn't mentioned is that the Italian whom Zidane attacked [[BerserkButton insulted both his heritage and his sister]].* Penn State's Joe Paterno is the winningest coach in major college football history, but will forever be remembered in connection with longtime assistant coach and serial child molester Jerry Sandusky.[[/folder]][[folder: Video Games ]]* ''Custer's Revenge'' was an unauthorized third-party game for the UsefulNotes/{{Atari 2600}} in 1982. It gathered quite a bit of negative attention, particularly from feminist and Native American groups, as the objective involved raping an Indian woman. From the next generation of consoles onward, manufacturers require approval for games to be released on their machines.* ''VideoGame/{{Daikatana}}'', aside from its years spent in development hell, picked up controversy over its advertising campaign, which stated that "John Romero's about to make you his bitch. Suck it down." The game has mostly been forgotten aside from the aforementioned campaign and the negative press [[CreatorKiller that brought Romero's development career down with it]].* ''VideoGame/DragonsCrown'' had gathered some rather heated arguments around the Internet for the Amazon and Sorceress character designs. This actually led to lot of free advertising in the west, [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity making the game more successful in the process]].* The prequel to ''VideoGame/FearEffect'' on the Playstation was known for having the first lesbian couple in the history of video game. A third game was supposed to be released but finally got cancelled.* The indie game ''{{VideoGame/Fez}}'' has become more well-known for the now-infamous online outbursts of its creator Phil Fish, particularly the outburst that caused him to announce that he was leaving the gaming industry.* ''VideoGame/{{Hatred}}'' is notorious for it's AudienceAlienatingPremise, the controversy it's trailer caused, and the major outrage that occurred when Valve attempted to pull the game off of Steam. This has all vastly overshadowed the actual gameplay merits.* The ''VideoGame/{{Manhunt}}'' series was best known for its premise of being about a convict being forced to take part in snuff films (the gameplay was mostly stealth based, with elements of SurvivalHorror). The first game was given mixed reviews, with some marking it down for the {{gorn}} and others praising it for its atmosphere, the sequel received average reviews across the board and the series was mostly forgotten. The franchise is also overshadowed by claims that the first game [[MurderSimulators inspired]] a series of killings in the UK which led to it being temporarily pulled from several chains (claims which were ultimately proven unfounded); while the sequel was actually [[BannedInChina banned outright]] in several countries, unlike the first game.* ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'' is mainly known for its infamous story that, in its worst interpretations, glorifies an abusive relationship; made all the worse since the series' heroine is something of a feminist gaming icon. In second place is the attempted justification for the series' usual BagOfSpilling that [[VoodooShark ends up absurd]] (particularly, not using available heat shielding in a lava-filled area).* ''VideoGame/MortalKombat1'' led to the creation of the ESRB through its fatality system. Amusingly, the Sega versions of the game ''were'' rated (at the time, Sega used their own rudimentary content rating system), and the Nintendo ports were censored.* ''VideoGame/NightTrap'' was one of the video games that contributed to the creation of the ESRB ratings in the United States. An infamous bathroom scene[[note]] which the game does call you out for when you fail to save the girl, or any girl for that matter[[/note]] in particular was what led to intense senate hearings with proponents of the ban saying it glorified violence toward women, while many of them admitted they hadn't played the game.* The ''VideoGame/{{Postal}}'' series is well-known for being a common target for MoralGuardians to campaign against video game violence, more so than any quality of gameplay, as opposed to other common targets like ''Doom'' or ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto''.* ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' was highly anticipated upon release, being the crossover of two fighting game giants. Then through a series of controversies (the Gems game mechanic, the addition of an obese parody of VideoGame/MegaMan in the wake of the controversial cancellation of ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends 3'') culminating in the revelation that all DLC was on disk (and there was a ''lot'' of DLC) overshadowed the game's actual quality. To this day, Namco's half of the crossover is still pending and very much in question.* ''VideoGame/ThrillKill'' is a case where the controversy was enough for the game to never get released (it was [[{{Gorn}} so violent]] ESRB gave it an AdultsOnlyRating, and thus Electronic Arts pulled the plug despite it being basically finished).* ''VideoGame/TomodachiLife'' is infamous due to the lack of a GayOption and Nintendo's initial rationalization about it (which was later retracted in an apology), moreso than the game being about interpersonal relationships between Miis. An UrbanLegendOfZelda asserting that the Japanese version had a bug allowing same-gender couples that got fixed in the localization didn't help. [[note]]The only real bugfixes were related to save data corruption, and any appearance of a same-gender couple is due to one of the Miis being deliberately given the wrong gender so the game thinks the couple is straight, which is still 100% possible in the localization.[[/note]]* ''VideoGame/EternalDarkness'' semi-sequel ''Shadow of the Eternals'' was engulfed in controversy ever since its announcements, and it seemed to swell up more with each bit of progress made. First, fans were skeptical of the development team accepting [=PayPal=] for donations instead of using a reputable site like Kickstarter, and Kotaku published an article shortly before which focused on Creator/SiliconKnights and its alleged shady business practices. After Kickstarter was finally secured as the primary funding platform, skeptics accused Precursor Games of double-dipping, and co-writer Ken [=McCulloch=] was arrested after an accusation of being involved with child pornography. They really just can't catch a break.* ''{{VideoGame/TERA}}'' tried to market itself as a new breed of Action-MMO, but most people who know of it know of it because of the controversy over the Elin, a OneGenderRace of Lolicon LittleBitBeastly girls who, like all the females in the game, dress in an incredibly skimpy fashion. Even with the American publishing company (shoddily) making the clothes more modest, this reputation has never particularly died down. As you can guess, Western fans of the game actually developed uncensor patches because they in turn feel betrayed by their publishers, making this a ''double'' case of this trope.[[/folder]][[folder: Western Animation ]]* Countless cartoons from TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation (1930s until the end of 1950s) have been subject to censorship since the 1960s because of imagery that is nowadays considered racist or a bad example to little children (scenes of smoking, SuicideAsComedy,...). Though most of them only have minor scenes that can be edited in syndication other cartoons are almost impossible to show because they are troublesome from the first until the last frame. These are the WesternAnimation/CensoredEleven, cartoons who are never shown on American TV. The unfortunate thing about many of these is that some of them are actually good, funny and/or important films.** ''WesternAnimation/DerFuehrersFace'': An Oscar winning propaganda cartoon that has gained more notoriety over the years for starring WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck as a Nazi than its artistic merits. It doesn't help that images from the cartoon often pop up out of context on various sites, causing many people to believe it actually ''endorses'' Nazism rather than criticize it.** ''WesternAnimation/CoalBlackAndDeSebbenDwarfs'': A parody of ''Snow White'' with grossly exaggarated stereotypical caricatures of Afro-Americans. Still many claim it to be Creator/BobClampett's best work.** ''WesternAnimation/AllThisAndRabbitStew'' is a fairly straightforward WesternAnimation/BugsBunny cartoon where the rabbit outwits a hunter. Yet the hunter is black and a mix of almost every Afro-American stereotype at the time, making the cartoon far more infamous for this aspect than anything else.* The ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' episode "What Was Missing" immediately became popular, AND controversial, for the alleged lesbian subtext between Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen.* The one thing most people remember about the ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' movie, other than the kickass opening number by Music/{{Mastodon}}, is its ViralMarketing campaign that caused the Boston Bomb Scare and resulted in then-head of Creator/CartoonNetwork Jim Samples stepping down and being replaced by Stuart Snyder, who became hated by fans for [[NetworkDecay pushing out action cartoons in favor of live-action shows]].* The ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode, "The Last Round-Up" appears to be only remembered for giving fan favorite character Derpy Hooves lines and a canon name, and then subsequently censoring her when it found that her portrayal and name was offensive to some, delving into her [[ComicallyCrossEyed cross-eyed look]]. Everything else about the episode (except for perhaps, Pinkie's antics) is eclipsed by it.* The ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episodes "200" and "201" is a MilestoneCelebration and we learn the real truth behind Cartman's father. However, "200" caused a Muslim group to send death threats to Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone for depicting UsefulNotes/TheProphetMuhammad in a bear suit ([[spoiler:even though it was really Santa Claus]]); Comedy Central subsequently altered "201" so all audio and visual references to Muhammad were censored, thus resparking the Muhammed cartoon controversy in real life. To this day, it has never been rerun, it's not available for legal streaming and only the censored version has been released on DVD. Portions of the uncensored cut very rarely leak onto the internet but are immediately blocked before they can spread. The censored speech at the end, amusingly proven true by the forced censorship, essentially amounts to "Use fear and you will always get what you want!"* The final episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' has largely been overshadowed by the last four minutes [[spoiler:where Asami and Korra receive a RelationshipUpgrade]]. There's been talk about it being anything from pandering to it being improper for a show aimed at elementary schoolers [[spoiler:to have a same-gender relationship]]. And even then some were unsatisfied because [[spoiler:their relationship was only barely subtly built-up, and was not given full confirmation on-screen like Aang & Katara's relationship. but was instead only confirmed online afterwards.]]* While ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'' is still a pretty popular show, mention it anywhere, and typically at least one person will bring up the [[CreatorBreakdown mental breakdown]] and subsequent firing of the show's creator Skylar Page.[[/folder]][[folder: Other ]]* Louis-Ferdinand Céline, author of ''Journey To The End Of The Night'', one of the most acclaimed novels of the 20th century. Sadly, he was also a grotesque antisemitic, which makes praise of his work problematic.* Emperor Hirohito of Japan remained closely associated with being responsible for and causing the war in the Far East during World War Two. Therefore he remained a war criminal in the eyes of some people who suffered during that war firsthand. When the emperor visited Europe in the 1970s, for instance, there was a lot of protest from people who survived Japanese POW camps. To this day debate about his role during that war has remained, even though he has done a lot to clean up his image in the decades after the war. He was also a note-worthy scientist who researched fish, but very few if any remember that. And not only was he not executed or at least jailed at the war's end (which many, many people no doubt wanted to see), but he was ''allowed to remain on the throne for four more decades''. Indeed, the only real punishment he received was being forced to admit to the Japanese people that he was not a god (which even many Japanese probably never believed in the first place).* UsefulNotes/BillClinton is nowadays more remembered for his sex scandals than any of his actual political deeds. Not that it particularly hurt his popularity, as polls taken around the time he left office will indicate (in fact, his approval rating went ''up'' during the impeachment hearings).* UsefulNotes/RichardNixon's presidency has been overshadowed by the Watergate affair. Other memorable events during his administration, even good ones like him opening relationships with China, have been forgotten except for history buffs.* Silent movie comedian Creator/FattyArbuckle's legacy has been tainted by his involvement in an party/orgy where a young girl died. Even though his name was eventually cleared, the affair destroyed his career and public image. He was given the chance for a comeback, but died the day after signing a new deal. Nowadays, ''if'' he is remembered at all, it's more for this public image than any of his films.* UsefulNotes/BorisYeltsin is not remembered today for any of his policies, but more for his very visible and embarrassing alcoholism problems during public appearances.* The long, succesful and admirable career of Creator/BillCosby will now forever be overshadowed by all the controversy of him being an alleged rapist and all the women who've come forward claiming to have been raped or sexually assaulted. Recently NBC and Netflix dropped projects they had with Cosby like a hot potato. It's an open question whether a court case or his sudden death might change anything. Interestingly enough, Creator/RomanPolanski, who indeed ''was'' convicted of raping a young teenage girl in the 1970s and has been arrested for evading confinement in the USA for many years, has not garnered the same amount of public backlash Cosby now endures. Polanski's movies are still seen on TV, at festivals and praised by critics without even having to address the controversy.* Creator/IllichGuardiola is a voice actor known for his anime dub work with Creator/SentaiFilmworks. However, after April 2014, he is only remembered for his sexual relationship and sexual abuse with a 16-year-old female student of his. Even though the charges were dropped, this scandal effectively destroyed his voice acting career.* British TV presenter Creator/JimmySavile. During his lifetime he was quite popular as a host and fundraiser for humanitarian causes, even being knighted for his goodwill. He died as a celebrated entertainer with people gathering to watch his funeral procession in the streets. Only a year after his death a revealing documentary outed him as a sexual predator who had molested hundreds of young women, many of them only teenagers. The report caused an outcry and many people reported similar incidents. As a result Savile's name became so tainted that virtually all memorials, tributes and statues to him have been removed and destroyed. Even archive footage of him- or downright ''references'' to him in comedy shows- have been removed from the BBC site, making him effectively an UnPerson at this point. It seems unlikely that his name or image can ever be shown again without creating controversy.* Gary Glitter: A glam rock icon from the 1970s, but dogged by scandal from the late 1990s on. He was arrested and sentenced for possession of child pornography and as a result his music is mostly banned from airplay. It's not likely he'll ever shake off the controversy again, seeing that he was recently brought back under suspicion, because of his friendship with Jimmy Savile.* UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, swastikas or anything regarding Nazism. Rightfully so, of course, the negative associations and controversy surrounding the ideology have never diminished. It remains highly controversial to show, reference or talk about Hitler and Nazism in popular culture, especially in Europe. Downright saying anything positive about the Third Reich will likely result in a public backlash. What makes Hitler's case especially interesting is that other conquerors from the past, such as Creator/JuliusCaesar, Charlemagne, UsefulNotes/GenghisKhan and/or UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte have far less controversy attached to them. You can openly praise them without being accused of advocating a murderous invader and/or a dictator.** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmYog5DszEI A famous advertisment by Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo]] tells on the feats of an art-loving man who helped rebuild his war-ravaged country before revealing it's Hitler, followed by "[[ManipulativeEditing You can tell a lot of lies by only saying the truth]]".* Poor, poor swastika. [[NonNaziSwastika Originally used in an almost exclusively positive manner]], it is completely unusable in any context now.* Oddly enough, this trope applies even to things that would normally be considered good, hence the HitlerAteSugar trope; for example Hitler was strictly against smoking, with Nazi Germany being the first country in the world to regulate smoking and outright banning it in public places for the health benefits (and their ideology of "racial purity", of course) of the common person.[[/folder]]----

Very Herby Pots
Conventional wisdom holds that strawberry jars should contain strawberries, but master gardener Paul James has other ideas.
Conventional wisdom holds that strawberry jars should contain strawberries, but master gardener Paul James has other ideas. He wants his jar to contain a collection of herbs so he'll have a handy supply near his outdoor kitchen.
James selects include a weeping rosemary, coconut thyme (Thymus pulegiodes coccineus), a silver-edged thyme (Thymus citriodorus 'Argeneus'), an Italian oregano, a trailing Corsican mint (Mentha requienii), pineapple sage (Salvia elegans), golden sage and a globe form of sweet basil.
James adds potting mix to the jar, stopping as soon as the level of mix is even with the first set of holes. In the lowest holes James adds the coconut thyme, oregano, basil and silver-edged thyme. Then he adds more mix, filling it up to the level of the next tier of holes, in which he adds the golden sage, Corsican mint and rosemary. He fills the remainder of the pot with soil and plants three pineapple sages at the top of the container. Pineapple sage will grow to about three feet tall, but you can keep it short by pinching it back regularly.
James recommends watering a jar like this slowly to allow the water time to drain through the container to the bottom of the jar. James also suggests watering the individual balconies. In fact, it's a good idea to water once, allow the water to soak in for a half hour or so, then water again. Water often because these strawberry jars will dry out much faster than conventional terra-cotta pots.
James also combines cacti and succulents for a unique mix of upright plants. Again, James fills a strawberry jar part-way with some potting mix and adds a few plants to the first set of holes, being careful not to stab his fingers with any of the cacti thorns. After adding more mix, he adds more plants in the next tier until he reaches the top of the jar. The crown of this jar is Euphorbia, one of James' favorite succulents.
Plants in jars like these will need a better-than-average fertilizer. James says this means nothing more than a weekly dose of good old compost tea. And to apply the tea, James waters the plant lightly first to slightly saturate the mix. Finally, he adds the tea so that most of the mix stays in the jar.
And, of course, you can always plant strawberries. This container holds 10 plants, including an ever-bearing variety known as 'Quinault'. Ever-bearing strawberries are so named because they produce more than one crop, in fact they may produce as many as three crops spaced one to two months apart from spring to fall. June-bearing strawberries produce only one crop, although, here in James' neck of the woods, production is at its peak in May not June. "I think the ever-bearing variety is the best because they don't produce nearly as many runners as the June bearers," he says.

A good friend of mine was working (as a musician) at the recent Help for Heroes concert. He's a massive fan of Michael McIntyre and after the show there was a bit of a party in the bar, MM was there and my friend approached him and was told to "**** off". Friend was really shocked at how horrible MM was and it's put him right off him. He said everyone else was really nice, especially Rhod Gilbert who bought everyone drinks and kept them in hysterics all night.

Zodiac Aerospace : Zodiac Aerospace: General Shareholders' Meeting Zodiac Aerospace General Shareholders' Meeting Plaisir, January 9, of 2013 - The combined General Shareholders' Meeting of the Zodiac Aerospace Group was held today at the headquarters of the company. The quorum of the shareholders present or represented amounted to 65,246 % of the voting rights^[1]. The General meeting approved all the resolutions submitted to its vote. In particular, the shareholders' meeting approved of the distribution of cash dividend of €1.40 for the 2011-2012 financial year, against €1.20 for the previous year. The terms of the Office of Directors of Mrs Gilberte Lombard, and of the FFP Company, represented by Mr. Robert Peugeot, were renewed. During this general meeting, Olivier Zarrouati, Chairman of the Executive Board, confirmed the company's growth prospects, as a result of both organic and external growth. At the beginning of the 2012 /2013 financial year, in accordance with its strategy which consists in being the global leader on each of its niche markets, Zodiac Aerospace has completed three acquisitions for a total amount of $160M: *In the field of in-flight entertainment, Zodiac Aerospace accelerates its development through the acquisition of American company IMS, the 4^th global actor in the IFE sector, and the leader of the IFE "passenger centric" segment. The company employs about 250 people and generated sales of over $70M. IMS developed RAVE, a "Passenger Centric" IFE system which was notably selected by Lufthansa to equip its long-haul aircrafts. *Northwest Aerospace Technologies (NAT) strengthens Zodiac Aerospace's offer in the field of cabin retrofit. NAT is an engineering services company specializing in transport category aircraft modification programmes. Based in Everett, Washington, the company has about 160 employees, of which 100 engineers, and generates sales of about $50M. This activity effectively complements those of Zodiac Aerospace in the field of cabin retrofit. *Zodiac consolidates its world leadership in the field of electricity through the acquisition of Innovative Power Solutions (IPS), which manufactures generators and converter units for business aircrafts, helicopters and drones. Founded in 1999 and based in Eatondown, USA, IPS employs 60 people and generates sales of about $8M. This acquisition will complete and reinforce Zodiac Aerospace's leading position in the field of electricity on board aircraft, a field in which the Group was already the global leader in primary electrical distribution and the supplier of all major new programmes. About Zodiac Aerospace Zodiac Aerospace is a world leader in aeronautical equipment and systems designed for commercial, regional and business aircraft, as well as helicopters and spacecraft. Zodiac Aerospace has 26,000 employees worldwide, and brought in sales revenue of €3.4 billion in 2011/2012 through its five business segments: Zodiac Cabin & Structures, Zodiac Galleys & Equipment, Zodiac Seats, Zodiac Aerosafety and Zodiac Aircraft Systems. www.zodiacaerospace.com Upcoming events: Ex date January 11, 2013 Paiement date January 16, 2013 Q2 and H1 results March 28, 2013 CONTACT ZODIAC AEROSPACE PRESS CONTACTS - IMAGE 7 Pierre-Antony VASTRA Flore LARGER Tel: +33 (0)1 61 34 25 68 Tel: +33(0) 1 53 70 74 91 / firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com Valérie AUGER Tel: +33 (0)1 61 34 22 71 Priscille RENEAUME firstname.lastname@example.com Tel: +33 (0) 1 53 70 74 61 / 61, rue Pierre Curie - CS20001 - 78373 PLAISIR firstname.lastname@example.com CEDEX ANALYST CONTACT - KEIMA Communication Emmanuel DOVERGNE Tel: 01 56 43 44 63 / firstname.lastname@example.com [1]Quorum of the general shareholders' meeting, 48,422,124 votes and 35,458,000 shares.

Concepts And Operationalization Of Pro-poor Growth
Download Now
Date Added: May 2010
Format: PDF
Growth that reduces poverty is often considered pro-poor regardless of whether the poor benefit from it more than the non-poor. Such growth could simply be termed poverty-reducing growth. This paper argues that for growth to be pro-poor it should disproportionally benefit the poor. The paper proposes an operational definition of pro-poor growth that restricts it to the cases in which the mean income of the poor increases proportionally more than that of the non-poor. A new index is proposed based exclusively on the redistributional component of poverty-gap changes obtained through an exact decomposition.

India PC shipments in Q2 plunges 28 percent YOY
Recent findings from IDC shows that India PC shipment stands at 2.55 million units in second quarter, plunging 28 percent year-on-year but rising of 24 percent quarter-on-quarter.
IDC stated that the market remained upbeat buoyed by business purchases, as well as channel intake of low-priced PCs at the end of the quarter.
However, the commercial PC segment emerged stronger than the expected performance with 1.38 million units shipped, growing 34.5 percent QOQ as a clear mandate in elections signaled a mark of recovery in Indian economy, CNET reported.
The annual budget announced by the new government suggests a positive outlook for business, and IDC expects this to influence the near term prospects on enterprise IT spending.
IDC believes that, against last calendar year, business prospects are expected to remain moderately better in the coming six months, the report added.

Most of them are at University Hospital (that's where I am now) but some (like next month for me) are also at Hackensack univ hospital. and my last one was in metuchen, which was one or two towns away from RU. so yeah haha.
Do you work everyday or just some days? That way we can figure out a day that works for us. Me and Kristine didn't really have summer vacations this year so we've been in school for a while so no worries there xd
