The Truly Bizarre

Am I the only one left that finds something wrong with things like this?

Sometimes I am simply amazed at what people find cool or worthwhile. Magic kits are for kids, and while I don't think I'd be a very responsible parent, I certainly wouldn't want them looking up to Criss Angel. If nothing else he's lame as hell.

I know this is probably a regional or cultural thing that I am unaware of, but this seems nasty to me.

I'm honestly not sure what sadder - that there's "Iron Chef" brand coffee or that the flavor names are so...lame.

Yum yum yum, pink pancakes. How...f*cking revolting. I'm not sure if it's better or worse that they're regular buttermilk. What feels more wrong, something odd looking with an odd flavor or something that tastes normal but looks freakish?

So let me get this straight...I'm supposed to wash my hair with same stuff I'm using to wash my armpits?

Chuzzle is an awesome match game from PopCap. The bundling of a stuffed Chuzzle with the retail version is...very random.

Maybe I'm the only one who finds this weird: it's a vending machine for inkjet cartridges. It was on a college campus, but at the same time the cartridges aren't cheap and the machine only takes cash. I would certainly be the kind of forgetful student desperate for a new cartridge at 1am for an assignment due the next day, but I'm also the kind of forgetful person that never carries cash.

Maybe we're slowly moving in Japan's direction and soon I'll be able to buy beer, fresh ramen, and a shaving razor from the same vending machine. That would be pretty sweet.

Yum yum, kids - American Idol Pop-tarts. That filling looks so utterly nasty, I freely admit I didn't have the balls to buy one and try it. As you can see by the price sticker, there are many wonderfully awful failed products at Big Lots.

I was originally trying to ration out the stock of pictures I had when I started this blog, but as you can see by the timestamps I kept forgetting I had them. I also have an iPhone now, so until at&t decides to implement MMS like the rest of the civilized world I'll be posting manually.

Seems like a pretty cool bike, right? Nice and sleek, and it certainly looks fast. This bike was always parked in the parking garage at my last job. Now, let me show you why I took interest in this bike...

That is the same bike. Note the size of the nearby Buick. I wanted so very much to meet the owner of that bike, but I never saw him/her. That's one badass midget. Either that or someone gets the "Worst Parent in the World" award for buying their eight year old kid a crotch rocket.

...Geisha brand?

2008-10-06T15:57:00.001-04:00

Do I even have to say anything?

JOY! I found my old memory card from a while back. These pictures are what gave me the idea for this blog in the first place. I found this line of toys at the dollar store. This has to be one of the funniest bad translations I've seen in a long time. Apparently girls are either supposed to be non-threatening or tumors in remission. Take your pick.

Apparently Betty Crocker makes candles now. Or 'made' since this is at a clearance store. I can't imagine why they didn't sell.

Sneaker-heels?

2008-07-15T19:00:00.001-04:00

Honey Nut Scooters? Seriously?

This is an older pic but worth mentioning. I'm not a Rock Band fanatic, but it's a fun game. The concept of a stage kit for what is essentially a glorified karaoke game, however... Let me also state that this kit is $100.

That's right, it's a drama-filled hospital game for the whole family! In case it's not legible the red text says 'Operations. Relations. Complications.' This brilliant idea of a game is completely covered in dust; I had to wipe it off before I could take the picture.
