"The Baha Men are the American singers in a Bahamian band. They play a modernised style of Bahamian music called Junkanoo...
...The Baha Men were one of the many artists to record a song on the album DisneyMania and two of its four sequels. On the first DisneyMania, they recorded 'Hakuna Matata' from The Lion King. On DisneyMania 2, they recorded the famous song 'It's a Small World' from the Disney park attraction of the same name.

9. Zoot Suit Riots

"Zoot Suit Riot" redirects here. For the album by the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, see Zoot Suit Riot (album). For that album's title song, see Zoot Suit Riot (song).
"The Zoot Suit Riots were a series of riots in 1943 during World War II that erupted in Los Angeles, California between white sailors and Marines stationed throughout the city and Latino youths, who were recognizable by the zoot suits they favored...
...many white servicemen resented seeing so many Latinos socializing in clothing many considered unpatriotic and extravagant in wartime."

8. Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer

"The critical reception of Friedberg and Seltzer's movies has been consistently very negative Disaster Movie and Meet the Spartans were rated the two worst films of 2008 by The Times newspaper. Additionally, every film they have directed has made it into Rotten Tomatoes' 'Worst of the Worst' for the 2000s, only scoring one spot outside of the bottom 25. The duo received a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Screenplay for Epic Movie at the 2007 Razzies and were nominated for Worst Picture, Worst Director, and Worst Screenplay for both Meet the Spartans and Disaster Movie at the 2008 Razzies, as well as nominated for 'Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel at the 2011 Razzies for Vampires Suck. The pair appears on noted British film magazine Empire's fan voted top 50 worst movies of all time more often than any other person. Almost all of their movies appear with a rank, and all are mentioned in the full review text.
...Critic Josh Levin of Slate commented that 'Friedberg and Seltzer.. are not filmmakers. They are evildoers, charlatans, symbols of Western civilization's decline...' Josh Rosenblatt of the Austin Chronicle said that 'Writer/directors Friedberg and Seltzer are a scourge. They’re a plague on our cinematic landscape, a national shame, a danger to our culture, a typhoon-sized natural disaster disguised as a filmmaking team, a Hollywood monster wreaking havoc on the minds of America’s youth and setting civilization back thousands of years.'"

7. Complexity

Wikipedia's article on complexity includes this ludicrous graphical chart:

6. Asian Brown Cloud

"The Asian brown cloud is a layer of air pollution that covers parts of South Asia, namely the northern Indian Ocean, India, and Pakistan. Viewed from satellite photos, the cloud appears as a giant brown stain hanging in the air over much of South Asia and the Indian Ocean every year between January and March, possibly also during earlier and later months."

5. I Love Money

"I Love Money is an American reality television series airing on VH1, and is a spin-off of Flavor of Love, Charm School, I Love New York, Rock of Love, Real Chance of Love, For the Love of Ray J, Daisy of Love and Megan Wants a Millionaire."

4. Liver-Eating Johnson

"John "Liver-Eating" Johnston (c.1824 – January 21, 1900) was a mountain man of the American Old West.
...One tale ascribed to [Liver-Eating] Johnson (while other sources ascribe it to Boone Helm) was of being ambushed by a group of Blackfoot warriors in the dead of winter on a foray to visit his Flathead kin, a trip that would have been over five hundred miles. The Blackfoot planned to sell him to the Crow, his mortal enemies, for a handsome price. He was stripped to the waist, tied with leather thongs and put in a teepee with an inexperienced guard outside. Johnson managed to chew through the straps, then knocked out his young guard with a punch to the face, took his knife and scalped him, then quickly cut off one of his legs. [dubious – discuss] He made his escape into the woods, surviving by eating the Blackfoot's leg, until he reached the cabin of Del Que, his trapping partner, a journey of about two hundred miles."

3. BDSM

2. The Great Stink

"The Great Stink, or the Big Stink, was a time in the summer of 1858 during which the smell of untreated human waste was very strong in central London."

1. Gangsta Rap

"Gangsta rap is a subgenre of hip hop music that evolved from hardcore hip hop and purports to reflect urban crime and the violent lifestyles of inner-city youths...
...The subject matter inherent in gangsta rap has caused a great deal of controversy. Criticism has come from both left wing and right wing commentators, and religious leaders, who have accused the genre of promoting crime, violence, profanity, sex, homophobia, racism,promiscuity, misogyny, rape, street gangs, drive-by shootings, vandalism, thievery, drug dealing, alcohol abuse, substance abuse and materialism."
