I'd say milli vanilli is the more appropriate analogy.

He said he didn't have the link... he should at least be able to still explain the concept.

I don't know if I'm in the sarchasm (I hope I am), but the context is...

Well, the Bad Place is the 'Vanilla Ice' and the 'Milli Vanilli' of countries, so I'd say the Tea Party is here to stay.

How long did Vanilla Ice's career and popularity last? Now it also admitted he sold tons of records while he was popular, but then note how quickly he fell of the charts.

So Thailand is? Since, you know, you're there, so it's the Bad Place by default. I almost feel sorry for everyone who has to live there
