* Doesn't belong on the list: BETAMAX - The technology was superior to VHS, it was just poorly marketed and you couldn't record as many hours on a tape as you could using VHS. 

* Isn't on the list, but should be: CHIA PETS

That list isn't complete without the 'epilady'.

not sure how a flying car can be a bad invention, That's like saying the first silicon chip was a bad invention because it couldn't do EVERYTHING.

The Segway isn't a bad invention, it just isn't affordable yet.

'hydrogen blimps' aren't an invention, it's just a blimp that has had it's tanks filled with hydrogen instead of helium.

Plastic grocery bags aren't a bad idea, they're just not disposed of properly.

Not sure how Auto Tune can be on the list, since it does what it intends to do fairly well. This is like blaming the invention of the movie camera for s**tty movies.
