What Was the Biggest Pop Culture Disappointment of 2012?

The team over at Zap2it compiled a list of 2012’s biggest pop culture disappointments.

They explained, "These are the people, the things, and the moments we looked forward to in 2012 -- only to have our dreams dashed by heartbeakingly underwhelming eventualities. Please join us in a moment of silence for the spectacular pop culture events that were not meant to be in 2012."

Some of Zap2it’s contenders include the lackluster Spice Girls reunion at the London Olympics, the iPhone 5 (and it’s awful map app), and “Smash” (which made “hate-watching trendy”). But then again the Facebook IPO, Britney Spears on “The X Factor,” the overabundance of movie sequels, and pretty much everything related to Lindsay Lohan could not be ignored. Click here to view Zap2it’s full list.

What do you think SodaHeads? What was the biggest pop culture disappointment of 2012?

    This ENTIRE YEAR.

    One direction

    These guys got famous.



    Divided country

    People divided themselves as a nation

    Elementary school massacre

    We found out there's someone sick enough to kill Elementary schoolers

    And to top it all off, there won't be an apocalypse to wipe this all out. Humanity will just become dumber and dumber.

    Pop culture itself. It is taken way too seriously! In a sane world the Kardashian sluts would be unknowns... "Cultural elite" wouldn't exist. I know nothing is going to happen but I hope for 12-21!!!

    prometheus alien


    Prometheus, easily. TDKR was...okay. Was it a letdown? Sure. But it wasn't unwatchable and it had good moments. The only redeeming feature in Prometheus was the special effects, which is sad because the cast was phenomenal and really working the best with what they were given. Too bad it wasn't the first time I walked out of the theater angry...The Hobbit had me pissed off, too.

    iPhone 5 = iPhone4S with a bigger screen and a ridiculous price tag on it.

    I believe the question is misstated. Pop cultures IS a disappointment. People invest themselves so heavily in news about celebrities they don't and will never know, films that --hello?-- are make-believe, and electronic gimcracks who have a popularity only as long as their battery life. O tempra, o mores!

    This is a trick question, right?

    "the moments we looked forward to in 2012 -- our dreams dashed by heartbeakingly underwhelming eventualities"

    If you had dreams and expectations for the year that were depending on any of these people or things you have a sad, sad life.

    That our pop culture President got re-elected. It certainly wasn't because of well reasoned, intelligent, thoughtful voting.

    The Dark Knight Rises was 95% epic, 5% too long.

    But it was awesome!!!!!!

    I didn't feel the time, but my sister and the friends who came with me to the midnight show thought it was a tiny bit too long. Then again the first one to complain was the twilight fan of the group.

    I personally loved it, every bit of the movie was interesting to me, but yeah, my sis and some of our friends said it was to long...
