Getty ImagesWe now live in a world where people can start petitions and raise money online for anything. Anything. Fundraiser to make potato salad? Yes. Petition to make Beyoncé comb her daughter's hair? Sure. Ask the White House to deport Justin Bieber? Oh, yeah. But we're actually on board with that last one.
Online petitions are a great way to raise awareness for your cause and help spread the word if there is an injustice happening in your area.
Or sometimes you really hate sporks and want to do something about it.
We cruised the Interwebs and found 18 completely useless online petitions, and yes, most of them have actual signatures supporting the cause. And hey, if you're into the petition, we've provided the links so you can sign it yourselves. We may have already signed the Pudding Pops one.
1. Distribute Sour Cream 'n' Bacon Ruffles to the U.S.
The Cause: "They're really tasty. Everyone I share them with agrees. And I'm tired of constantly having to drive over the border to buy them. They would sell well in the United States, if only given a chance."

The Cause: "Dale, weraing [sic] his new leather jacket, needs to meet Justin Bieber in order to aleviate [sic] his concerns after recent revelations in the news. He also wants to show off his new leather jacket, and feels Justin is the type of person who would appreciate it."

10. Give the Brawny Man His Mustache Back!
The Cause: "I am petitioning to put the brawn back into Brawny Paper Towels by giving the Brawny Man back his Mustache. You see being brawny is more than just muscles and strength, brawn is about masculinity, and what could be more masculine than some facial hair! However in 2003 Brawny gave Brawny Man a makeover which included new clothes and a freshly shorn face, not to mention they took away his peavey."

11. Sequel for The Hunger Games: Cato and Clove
The Cause: "Just a simple sentence in the first novel of the trilogy captured many fans' attention and led them to wonder, who were Cato and Clove? What were their lives like before the game? And most important, who were they to each other? All these questions were left unanswered both in the book and the limited time they had on screen, disappointing the 'Clato' fanbase."
Number of Signatures: 90 (Sign it!)
12. Bring Back S Club 7!!!
The Cause: "The most amazing bubble gum pop band to come out of the UK in 1999 needs to make a comeback, and only through a groundswell of public support will they take a break from their lives of relative mediocrity and return to stardom. If BSB and NKOTB can do it, so can S Club 7!!"
Number of Signatures: 2 (Sign it!)
13. Bring Back Pudding Pops
The Cause: "Not only were Pudding Pops part of everyone's childhood, the freezer isle is sorely lacking with frozen treats that come close to the quality of frozen pudding. I want my child to grow up in a world where he can open the freezer and cool off with a delicious frozen chocolate or vanilla pudding treat just like I did."
Number of Signatures: 42 (Sign it!)

16. Louis C.K.: Leave Some Funny for the Rest of Us
The Cause: "Funny is a precious resource. With Mr. CK doing an hour a year, PLUS his show, PLUS telling stories on late night talk shows, PLUS whatever else he gets up too, the world is running out of funny. The rest of us work hard to think of a funny, original, intelligent premise, that this guy hasn't already done, but by the time we get to the club and tape it, we're too late."
