As if you needed another sign that society is headed in the wrong direction, take the stupid products people spend their money on. Every year they get stupider and stupider, but we are right there to spend our hard earned dollar. Why? Because poop never stops being funny and it’s hard to resist a “limited edition.” So, without further ado, here is Part I of the epic master list of the stupidest products of 2009.
The “doggy back” part of this outfit can be heated in the microwave or frozen before being attached to the Velcro therapeutic jacket to provide your dog with relief for his aches and pains.

Wow, 2008 has been one hell of a year. It was the year we elected our first African American President. The year Michael Phelps won 8 Olympic golds. The year the economy faced near collapse. And, of course, it was the year we discovered a poop frisbee and a Sith Lord Toaster. But, as you will see from the list after the break, that’s not all the crazy crap we found.
Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of May 5th-11th 2008:

This little dog here may be the hardest working USB hub out there. He features 4 ports for your peripherals and a head that functions as a speaker during normal use. However, when you decapitate him, his head can be ported around as an AM/FM radio. I wonder if the ASPCA is aware of this. Additional image after the break.
