Cat_Marie — December 6, 2009 — Pop Culture
For the past three years, Stupid.com has released a list of the Top Ten stupid gifts for the Christmas season. They searched through 5,000 different products to come up with this list that will surely make you groan or finally be able to get that gift for someone who has everything!
Their list of stupid gifts was in no particular order and I start this one off with the one that made me giggle the most. Ok, maybe I have a bit of a dirty mind…
1: Choke the Annoying Chicken
2: Swine Flu Survival Kit
3: Life Vest for Golf Balls
4: Dog Poo Christmas Ornament
5: Freudian Slippers
6: Belching Beer Pager
7: Barack Obama Mix N’ Match Dress up Kit
8: Talking Toilet Paper Dispenser
9: Reindeer Food For Humans
10: Wall Street Financial Chimp
While you’re looking at the list at Stupid.com; take a peek at their “Cheap Gifts Under $7”. I love the “Snumpers”; bumper stickers for sneakers and the “Look And Feel Canadian Breath Spray!” Hmmm…I wonder if one spray will make you start ending your sentences with “eh”?
