I’m probably going to go for a sort of fail blog-style thing with my suggestion
Bozoness
I have a great idea. I would love to turn the site into, a place called ouch designs. Designing all kinds of crazy online ouch’s and celebrity messups. Like when barack obama talked about kanye west.
Andy
It’d make a great ‘RateMyScar’ website. Perhaps not the most tasteful but certainly an interesting one and simple to set up.
Nick
Money fails. With the current economy doing so poorly due to money management, I would show users what their mistake was - and possibly solutions on how it cam be corrected.
For example explain budget deficits, how they got there, and how to correct the problem. (Prime example California’s budget LOL).
Tonymo
I’d use it as a youve been framed type video site showing the ouwch type vids that make you wince
James
I would turn it into a site displaying the worst design errors on the web.
SB
Automatically reminds me of the phrase ouch. Would look good as a site that features all the painful pictures from all around the globe.
Vimal
A combined website of all the ouch moments of celebs n also the people around the world..either containing the videos or news or a combination of both
Pastis
I think it would be a great site for bad situations, embarrassing situations. Users could upload their own content, be it in text, picture or video, and other users could vote on a ten point scale to what they think is ouwch. Could even give away some prizes for different categories to get the site rolling…

My idea is a site that aggregates specifically BAD product reviews, gives a brief run down on why that product is bad, and proposes better alternatives to the product, rated upon by viewers and in comparison to better reviews. There would also be a mobile version for users to be able to use in-store, if they see a product that might tempt them into an impulse buy but are still unsure if maybe there is a better alternative for the money. The main idea is to find better products based on the bad points of the reviews and user opinions, instead of just basing the buying decision on a few good reviews or ratings.
Lucifer
