Stuff We Find Ridikulus

There was really a market for these?

We can across these god-awful shoes at the local Goodwill. They are neon pink tennis shoes that are also 3 inch backless heels! It hurts my brain to think that someone designed this shoe. Then Someone even higher up them them said "Yes! Get these into production immediately! We've been completely missing the "no fashion sense what so ever/80's trash/Hooker/gym member market!"

Ye olde Superman

Being that we are true geeks of a variety of nerdoms we frequent comic stores, conventions, game centers and yes... even Ren faires. We found this gentleman at the entrance of the "Lady of the Lake" Renaissance Fair. He was very nice, but oh so ridikulus.

Queericus!

We think it's a positive thing that there are toys that appear to be marketed at youngsters who haven't quite figured out who they are. We disapprove of forced gender roles. So we give you Queericus! The gayest possible manly warrior from the days of ancient Rome. Don't worry dads. It's not a "Doll." It's an "action figure."

It's Happy Shark!

This lovely piece of home decor can be found at a store called "Bargains for Millionaires" We call him "Happy Shark" because he the happiest damn shark we've ever seen. Well- what's left of him looks pretty happy anyway.

Sure would be nice if we had some grenades!

We found these round the local Big Lots. Grenade shaped sugar and creamer dispensers. For when you need to take out Granny during the main course.

Seriously, why?

Ok... Realistically this happens to all of us blessed with 2 X chromosomes. But I ask you WHY would you wear a thong and add to your own discomfort at such a sensitive time?

In addition, I must address the CareFree Marketing Department ::Ahem:: Sir, (Yes, again I'm sure this one is all man) Sir. Before you send things like this off for print, mass production, and distribution, please make sure that the picture of the product on the box is not remnisent of an erect penis. Thank you.

A Delicacy , I'm Sure

Yes, we know what it really is. No, we really don't care. This is probably available at your local supermarket. Sadly, we couldn't help ourselves. It was a laugh-out-loud experience. Maybe we're a little immature, but I think someone in the marketing department should have run this by at least one random pedestrian. I imagine it would have gone like this:

Marketing Man (oh, I'm sure it was a man): "Excuse me, ma'am. Would you eat this? " Proudly holding up the newly designed packaging.
Random Pedestrian: Punchs him in the teeth and runs away blowing a rape whistle.

See how the subtle embarrassment of poor product nomenclature could have so easily been avoided?

When you want to get Farshnickert!

We were out at the liquor store doing Cat's family Christmas shopping (yes, that's true) and we happened upon this fine product. If nothing else we got a chuckle and were reminded to call and wish a friend of ours a Happy Hanukkah. To the person that came up with the line "The Chosen Beer"- I hadn't laughed that hard all season.
