"infamous" = celebrated & day of infamy

[Mark A. Mandel]

from Joel S. Berson:

>>>

I was thinking that the various research papers honored by Ig Nobels are
being deemed sometimes disreputable, and of little to no value.  Isn't that
at least a little bad for a scientist?

<<<

But not all such papers. Some of them are of real scientific value but just
sound funny, like the one about herring communicating via fart.
