Dishonorable Mentions: The Worst Products­ of 2008

From speakers to cables to video games, these are the products you should avoid...at all cost.

Whether it was an action figure whose head popped off after only a few hours of play (I’ll never forgive you He-Man), or a video game so boring (anyone remember Pitfall II for Atari?), it made homework a viable alternative, we’ve all been disappointed with certain toys, games or gadgets at some point in our lives.

Some of the products qualify for our Dishonorable Mentions list simply because they don’t deliver as promised, such as Logitech’s QuickCam Vision Pro and Sega’s Beijing Olympics video game. Others make the list for their absurd pricing (a $499 cable and $16,000 Blu-ray player).

This one is too old to qualify, perhaps, but I just saw a new one installed. See "Can an Omnimount UCL hold a TV level? -- [Link: remotecentral.com]

To Ominmount's credit, when I sent photos showing the different resulting angles off of plumb, they sent a claim form. Not to their credit, will they really pay me for the time to get a different mount, take the UCL off the wall, put up the new one, and drive the 113 miles each way to do so?
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
