- On Encyclopedia Dramatica, a good place to look for articles needing a complete rewrite is the Crap category - articles in need of a rewrite are so marked with the {{crap}} template.
- On Apple products, a "complete rewrite" entails downloading the latest crapfest from kernel.org, adding a fat and ugly interface and then claiming to have invented unix.
- On LiveJournal a complete rewrite is more or less the equivalent of removing an entry (or select contents thereof) in order to not offend and lose the money of corporate sponsors.
- A normally-good band will "re-invent" themselves into a shitty band in order to drive up sales, usually by adopting a "punk rawk" persona.
With the noted exception of the first point, generally a complete rewrite is a bad thing, due to the second law of thermodynamics which states that all systems are spiraling down in to disorder, also known as the law of entropy.
