Pinhead

I used to enjoy collecting Disney pins—that is, until the "pin trading" craze swept through around the end of 1999, and "pin sharks" made it no-fun anymore, and Disney began churning out so many pins it became expensive to get good ones anymore. Still, you can't deny that they've made pin trading extremely pervasive. So much so, in fact, that I overheard an over-Disney-exposed individual lament recently while watching TV, "Oh, no, they're doing pin trading at the Olympics." Ahem. Pin trading has been part of the Olympics for quite some time now.
