Now this is a USB I would buy....

Yes, I said I would buy this.  Once in a while you have to indulge these guilty pleasures and laugh a little. I watched a video of this product and couldn't stop laughing.  This dog is USB powered so that when you plug him into your computer he furiously humps it.  I thought it was hilarious and would like to shake the hand of the man, or woman, who came up with this one.
Although  the ones that are being sold on Amazon don't actually serve any purpose except for the joke, I found a Japanese site that is also selling the same sort of product and I'm hoping that these ones are actually used as storage devices.  If they are then I am definitely buying one.  I can only imagine the look on the face of the person next to me in the computer lab after i plug in a USB drive that humps the computer.  Plus they come in all different colors to fit your needs.

USB = Ultimate Stripping Barbie

Scrounging up some dollar bills to go to the strip club can be stressful when you have a lot of work to do.  Someone has obviously already solved this problem by bringing you a USB powered doll on a stripper pole.  I'm not sure how this could entertain someone for more than 10 seconds. (Thats how long i watched the youtube video before closing the screen.) Amazon recently stopped selling them but you can still find them because evidently they are in high demand, even though I'm not sure why anyone would buy that?!??!

Parasites have feelings too.

Kids everywhere are going to start WANTING to get lice after people find out about this wonderful cuddly plush toy. Ya, probably not, but I would love to know what was going through the mind of the guy who decided to produce these. Could you imagine that pitch meeting? I can't decide whether this is cute or creepy, but either way there are so many better stuffed toys for your kids to enjoy, so WHY WOULD ANYONE BUY THAT?!??!

Metal beats paper.

Remember The Slinky?? Who doesn't. We all had them and tried to get them to walk down the stairs and got really pissed when they got tangled because it was always bent out of shape by the time you untangled it. But I think the products song said it all "It's Slinky, It's Slinky, for fun the best of the toys. It's Slinky, It's Slinky, the favorite of girls and boys."

But what if that wonderful toy was made out of cardboard?? Oh wait someone already did it! Here I introduce The Flexy:


Let's start with the name, it should be called something more like "The Soggy" because any kid is going to drool on it, ruin it while playing in the mud, or spill their chocolate milk on it. Even when bent a little The Slinky was still considerably fun, but how much fun can wet cardboard be? And what about the price, you can get a Slinky for under $5 now, so I think $14.50 is way over priced for such a disposable 'toy'.
I understand that a lot of companies are trying to become more green and make products out of materials that are less expensive and better for the environment, but come on!! WHY WOULD ANYONE BUY THAT?!??!
