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:
pro-series kayaking
fool-proof guard for your kids
products your dog will love
getting some non-awkward z's

this is marketed as "high-performance inflatable kayak". high performance? its inflatable... i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that its probably relatively low-performance.

"kid safe driveway gaurd". obviously the child in the picture cannot escape. children do not have the mental capacity to go around the side. obviously the grass is off-limits and because soccer balls are trained to know that, this "great wall of driveway" will keep kids in as wells as burglars out. here's a "happy dog" that they love to make the subject of pet products. he looks like he loves all of these products. especially the bath. i think dogs really like being put in a tube smaller than a doghouse and squirted by a 5 year old.





and this guy just looks stupid. and i don't think anybody could look "cool" using it. its an inflatable pillow for sleeping and flying. maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, but is it worth the risk??

    Where DO you find these items? I really think the driveway guard is the 'best'. I laughed so hard I cried. I know you & Penguin would not have kept it on the drive, but hauled it off to create something entirely different.Looks like something stolen from a construction site to me.

    I'm so glad someone is keeping his blog current. Maybe I'll get around to mine next month!

    That kayak would barely hold a child 'professional'. Anyone of KauffmanBoy size would collapse that thing in half.
    Imagine sitting next to that flier when he starts hugging his huge lap pillow... and isn't he gonna be leaning on the seat in front of him?
    Many dog owners buy more crapsky for their precious 'children' than we do for our human kids -- marketing genius!
