Are Achievements\Trophies important to a game?

Just watched the Foamy rant on this subject. I can agree on the retardedly easy ones as it fits with the real life trend of "everyone gets a trophy".

Showed up at your soccer game and left early to see this week's episode of Star Trek? You get the same trophy as those that played hard and broke bones at that very game.

One of the world cup-stacking finalists? A trophy is awarded for a skill with less freakin' practical use in society than blowing your nose.

Did bad on a test? No problem, we grade it in purple ink instead of red ink to reduce stress, and then design a group test so your grades come from the efforts of others.

Lost your job and to lazy to get another? Apply for welfare and get paid with money taken from people who actually work.

There needs to be a removal of all trohpymachievements except for those along the lines of (complete optional More Difficult Dungeon of Doom).
