Not really Achievements?

1 vs. 100 is a free game show style trivia arcade game where you play as your avatar. Most days you can play extended play during specific times of day to earn sweepstakes entries and a chance to be a part of the mob or The One and there are also live shows (a couple times a week) with an actual host where you can win prizes such as Microsoft Points or XBOX Live Arcade games.

Since the game is officially out of its beta testing and starting it's new season, it now has 12 achievements. I was looking through the achievements list and found one that really caught my attention, Low Rider. To achieve Low Rider you must answer instantly and incorrectly three times in a row. Now, since this is the opposite of the point of the game (you want to answer as many questions correctly as possible) why is this an achievement? It seems it is a lack of an achievement because let's face it, if you get this achievement you suck at this game - on a side note I did go throught the minimal button smashing effort to get this because I am a sucker for gamer score and this was too easy not to. It seems more and more achievements aren't really much of an achievement. What games have you played and found achievements that you thought were ridiculous?
