There's an unpleasant comedy sketch show take on cryogenic preservation here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7Lzr3cwaPs

Plot: a cryogenics company goes bust, the bodies they store are bought cheaply and revived to make low budget TV with no concerns about treating the revived people badly.

Relevance: What if cryogenic preservation works but the plan of waking up in a better future, doesn't.
