Cliché Corner   

It's baaaaack. As if it ever left. Ever since the spooky ghosties got back into the TV set in the 1980s hit, "Poltergeist," and a child actor observed, "They're baaaaack," we've used and abused this tired line. They're back. He's back. She's back. The following is a list of stuff the media has recently declared baaaack. After this, let's just send it back, once and for all:
