Ripoffs, Anyone?


So what we have here are some video games: WirelessSports plus, Wireless Fit and (my favorite) Guitar Superstar. Now I cannot be certain, but I think I have seen those same color schemes and fonts used on other products somewhere. I'm sure that is just a coincidence because no one would try to confuse and take advantage the American consumer, would they?

Plaid

Bat provides today's rant. Click the picture to enbiggen.
Not a great photo but notice the plaid seat covers on the back seats... THE ENTIRE INTERIOR is fitted with green and white plaid. There was also a matching bag or purse on the dash. A few questions come to mind. Where does one find an entire plaid car interior cover? Is it a kit? Do you go to Joann's and enter your make & model at the car interior cover kiosk? Why green and white plaid? If going with plaid, why not a plaid that has the car color in it? Or is this a new option for Toyota? Yes, I'll take the mag wheels, 6 disc CD changer and the green-white two color plaid interior... Really? Come on Mr. Toyoda, I know you need to sell some cars but this is wrong. First sticking gas pedals, now plaid interiors...

Ironic or Just Insulting?

Now before anyone complains, I know that dyslexia is a legitimate disorder and I am not making light of anyone's ailments. That being said, really? The Dyslexic Reader? Seems a little cruel and insensitive to me. How about the Anorexic's All-You-Can-Eat Buffet? The Acrophobic's Ladder Sale? The Coulrophobic's Circus?
(Feel free to look that last one up. It's pretty funny.)

Pun-errific

Today's post comes from a new contributor: Mrs. "The Original Fancy" Mac.

This is a picture of a Thai restaurant she saw on one of her many world travels.

They specialize in seafood.
Are the women and children always served first?
I bet they don't serve iceberg lettuce.
Think the kitchen is un-SINK-able?
They treat you like the King of the World.

Feel free to contribute your own puns in the comments. The worse, the better.

Jail Toilet

Field correspondent Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq. provides our latest entry.
This view was spotted at a local restaurant. I assume that at some point in the past (or future) the frame was (or will be) covered so as to provide the privacy most people desire when using this device. As it is, it looks like you have to enter a jail cell in order to, uh, eliminate. Maybe this is just an attempt to remind patrons not to drink and drive.

One more for the road...

Commit Suicide Much?

We're have returned from the most awesome vacation ever and are ready to get back to the sarcasm. Griff sent this to me.
Step 1: Stripe the card? Mildly amusing, but certainly no WTFoto. Why would he send this? Ahhh, there is a second image:

That's better. Let's see here: if you are having problems putting an extremely flammable liquid into your car, the most logical solution is to hold the nozzle above your head (hoping not to drip gasoline into your hair), count to 10, then try it once more. Nothing out of the ordinary here, folks. Please move along. Nothing to see. Please disperse.

Not a Toy

I will be absent for the next couple of weeks due to a much needed vacation. I leave you with this from Bat.
Just so we are perfectly clear: this bag is not a toy. The 10" table saw blade, however, makes an excellent frisbee for babies and children (at least for one throw, that is). Then you can play EMT and doctor.

What The Concept

Thanks to Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq. providing the picture.
Shortly after the tragic collapse of the I-35W Mississippi River bridge in Minneapolis, Missouri Department of Transportation implemented a program called Safe & Sound to repair or replace 802 of the most worn-out bridges in Missouri. So far, an excellent and commendable plan. Here comes the asinine part: those bridges that have been selected for repair are marked with the signs shown in the picture (click to enbiggen). The least safe bridges in Missouri now boast signs that exclaim "Safe & Sound." If that isn't one bass-ackward concept, I don't know what is. Thanks, MODOT, for the confusion and misleading information.

Wal-Mart Sex Toys

So I was at the pharmacy in one of our many Wal-Marts when I spied this scene. Take a look at that top shelf (click to enbiggen). They won't carry CDs with explicit lyrics, but look at the variety of sex toys they sell: Trojan Vibrating Touch Finger Massager, Trojan Vibrating Ring (standard and Duo), LifeStyles Vibrating Ring, and Durex Play Vibrations (both in regular and the variety pack). I'm pretty sure none of those products can played off as "therapeutic body massagers".

Now, I don't have a problem with those products being sold at my local Wal-Mart, I'm just surprised that a company that errs on the conservative side would have them. As a complete aside, I do enjoy the fact that they sell pain reliever next to the condoms.

Speachless...

This picture comes by way of T-Bomb.

She writes: "My cousin took this picture. Tampons made out of sea sponges...AND they are reusable. I think this is a bit ridonkulous!"

Now there isn't much that can leave me at a loss of words, but all I can add is "Eewwwwww."
