Great Inventions that turned sour because of humanity's abusive nature

Let's list inventions that were originally meant for a good purpose or use that turned sour or became annoying, a nuisance, or utterly useless because of our tendency to abuse or misuse whatever is given to us

EDIT:
I'll start with the two things I absolutely abhor: This first one took up a lot of ranting by itself so I decided to post the other one later after a few of you posted your own thoughts. And if I'm lucky, someone might even post my second Item as their good invention that turn sour entry, if they feel strongly negative about it too. I'm not saying what it is until I post back later though.

1. The Karaoke &/or Videoke Machine - I absolutely hate this feat of human enjoyment of something great but not everyone has the talent to do. That being singing.

Whoever is the asshole who invented this piece of crap should BURN IN HELL!

Yes, yes I know a Filipino was the one who pioneered developing it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karaoke

But I still hate his guts for inventing such a device from hell!

I also know the thing was originally designed for the enjoyment of the one using it.... but didn't the inventor think of the other people who have to stand listening to a no talent hack singing his or her favorite song/s off key!?

I also know that in countries like Japan they have Karaoke bars where you & your friends can enjoy (or torture each other) merrily without bothering other people around you because you & your friends rent a sound proof room that only lets everyone inside hear the aural massacre that may be happening inside.

But here in my country, we don't have such amenities

Most Karaoke/videoke machines here are inside drinking establishments simply referred only as bars, regardless if the place is a pub, a dance club, a sex den... errr I think I shouldn't have added that, but who cares right?

Also, we have set top devices here which kinda resembles an arcade machine complete with a coin slot for paying your dues of vocal murder, they're kinda like Jukeboxes but even more sinister.

And even worse, you as a private individual can rent out one of these armaments of death for a whole day, for your own indulgence. These things are often rented by individuals during a birthday celebration which also incorporates drinking. Add the two together Alcohol + No talent = the whole neighborhhod going through a whole night of terror!

And let just me end my remark by saying I HATE the so called "Filipinos naturally love singing" label/ stereotype as it's the worst attribute my countrymen have. It's not enough you love singing, but you definitely SHOULD have the right to sing

And because of the damn device, one of the greatest songs of the great Frank Sinatra has been given the titles of "The Death Song", or" The Cursed Song" as people who sing it poorly at a bar or pub will most surely be mauled by the drunken patrons of the establishment... or worse, you might end up pushing daisies, period.

 

Nuclear plants =3 its only causing problems.. fill in the rest im lazy now

 

Agreed, but simply because I've read most of loony's explanations on how Nuclear Power plants work on older threads talking about the topic. And I think the technology involved with maintaining Nuclear Power plants these days have greatly improved, so as handling Nuclear Waste is no longer just about "them" dumping the stuff somewhere without thinking of the ill effects. Or that a Nuclear Reactor meltdown happening these days is less likely to happen.

 

Yes less likely but still cause of that also nuclear bombs have been made so without the discovery of it no bombs either

 

And Einstein never intended to build a bomb, well, that's what the history books & Discovery Channel/National Geographic Society Documentaries tell us... wait that didn't sound right. I didn't mean to make it sound like I'm questioning what we've been told, I'm just saying it's a well known & accepted fact.
