The opposite is also true; some of them have no unique features and nothing behind them in terms or development or merchant adoption. Most are just clones and get rich quick schemes. Some will survive; some wont; some will become useful and of worth; others wont. It'll be interesting to see what other alt coins merchants start accepting.
I agree with you. Most of alt-coins don't have any credibility and no chance for adoption, it's just matter of time when they die.
http://www.cryptosextoys.com/ accepts Sexcoin haha, but also BTC, LTC, FTC, PPC and XPM. It really does depend on merchants, but we really don't need a new coin for every niche or industry possible. These coins are becoming a joke now and it takes away some of the credibility from Bitcoin and cryptocoins in general.
We have Gamecoin, Casinocoin, Betacoin, Pokercoin, Lucky7coin.
And not evern talking about animals : Elephant, Tiger , Eagle , ...
