Underwear Ninja comes with Space Suit
to blog or not to blog, which is the path a true underwear ninja must take? whichever path it be, it will surely be a rough-hewn one. argyle, possibly.

a good idea? or...
And now, for the next installment of:

WORLD'S STUPIDEST MARKETING INVENTIONS
the section dedicated to bringing into focus those items that some "genious" invented and is trying to sell through a mail-order catalogue or a flier that you get on an airplane.

in this issue:
what your pet wants most in this world
a better way to play games
fashionable weather-gear



so apparently someone thought it would be a great idea to put pets in strollers. nevermind that they have legs. or even that they might be trying to go to the bathroom. look how excited and happy they are to be in the pet strollers. look at that cat. how would you describe that gaze?


here we see some young, posing kids and a "grandfather"-type looking ever-so-happy to be playing some sort of old-timey baseball game. well i gotta say they certainly know how to market that piece of trash. grandpa looks happy that he has to hold it in the air in order for it to work. what you don't see is how he will get tired 1 minute from now and the game will be over. but before that happens the kids will get tired and want to play something electronic, like video games. not pictured: 3 days from now it is in pieces in the trash!

who is that down the street mowing their sidewalk? r2-d2? let's get a closer look. it seems to be some kinda machine that ate someone. wait, no. oohhh, its just old man withers! my how stylish he is using a box-thing to protect him from the elements. do you think the man pictured here would purchase this? its almost a good idea except that his legs are exposed and its so boxy the draft will whip right up through the bottom. so much for weather-proof. but still, at least he's the best-looking, non-awkward driveway snow mower on the block.

    HAHAHAH, Do you think Dad could use one of them snow-mower hoods for christmas? I can't imagine standing in the foyer trying to put that thing on before stepping out in the cold winter air. Then there's the matter reaching underneath or unzipping to reach the door handle.

    OMG.. I laughed so hard I cried. I can't believe these are real products. Gypsy would just love the stoller. I hope it as roller blade wheels for a 'smoother' ride. Might get a little bumpy. And the walking telephone booth! It doubles as a DELUXE umbrella for working in the rain!
