Examples of bad reviews

What's up every one? I was browsing through Amazon the other day and found something interesting. I thought I'd share it with you guys. One of the top 500 reviewers made a listmania list of how reviews shouldn't be written. I found it interesting, so i thought you guys might too. Anyways here's the link:

I'm not sure the examples are really good there. Seems a bit baseless sometimes. Otoh, there are tons of really bad reviews on Amazon, of course. In fact, there are so many, I think it's hard to pinpoint any particular ones. And, in addition, the way things stand with Amazon reviews, bad reviews there is the last thing one should worry about. They're obvious and easy to skip.

Also, I noticed that all example reviews this guy picked out are negative. But a bad review doesn't have to be one-star; any review can be bad, a five-star one just as much as a one-star one. I'm not sure I can really relate to what this guy was trying to say...
