It's also implied that the album was a flop due to a scene that shows a Tower Records employee putting copies of the album on the "reduced" rack. In reality, ''Generation Swine'' reached #4 on the Billboard 200 and remained on the charts for nine weeks. The album was certified gold (meaning it sold over half a million units) in the United States. Although it still was not as critically or commercially successful as the albums released when the band was at the peak of its popularity in the late-1980s.

* BreakTheCutie: The show becomes this for Pamela. For the most part she's a kind, sweet person whose biggest flaw is that she has bad taste in men. At the start of the series she is a happy, deeply-in-love newlywed who is excited to start having children with Tommy. But once the sex tape starts being distributed Pamela is subjected to an ever-increasing level of stress and public humiliation that throws her private life and her marriage into turmoil. On top of that her first starring role in a mainstream Hollywood film, ''Film/BarbWire'', turns out to be a critical and commercial flop. By the end of the series she's willing to do anything just to end the sex tape scandal even if it jeopardizes her marriage, and the failure of ''Barb Wire'' has made it so nobody is willing to hire her for serious acting roles.
