Making a kite in the likeness of a superhero seems like something someone would have thought of a long time ago. But while Spiderman may look at home if he were flying in the streets of NY, he would be a little out of place out on the beach. The obvious question is what tall structure is he swinging from? If they stuck to someone like Superman then it becomes a no-brainer.

Why any parent would purchase this kit for their children is beyond me. Perhaps they are looking to indulge their child’s creative side—or they are freaky masochists that enjoy crippling headaches brought on by loud, semi-musical noise vomit. The set includes a miniature slide whistle, harmonica, kazoo, flute, pan pipes, maracas, and a tambourine.
And, most importantly, it comes with a set of earplugs.

Where does the change go on this Sumo Wrestler Money Box? Under one of his many folds I assume. I mean, Sumo wrestlers are fat, but did this dude get stung by a bee?

As if your pet isn’t pampered enough, you can get it this Air Conditioned Dog House and get them one step closer to your sedentary self. You could take the simpler and cheaper route of just letting the dog stay inside, unless that conflicts with your own sedentary lifestyle. Getting up to let them out a couple of times is pretty hard work. But the only question that matters is, “Whose dog deserves to live in an air conditioned house?”

If the Hamburglar could afford to buy a rug, this cheeseburger-shaped version would certainly be the one he would choose. Unfortunately, stealing burgers from children does not generate much income, so the Hamburglar is forced to live on the street—freebasing condiments to get a quick fix. Tragic.

I don’t see any reason to spend a lot of money so that your friends all have a comfortable place to sit. Get one reclining chair for yourself and a bunch of these Manhole Cover Cushions as seats for them. Just tell them you were inspired by Japanese decor. In reality, these things are not cheap but the urban look it gives your place are worth every penny.

Tired of sticking your hand down into your sofa cushions looking for that damn remote? Get this product and just give a little whistle. The receiver that is stuck onto your remote will start flashing and beeping loudly. That way your need to reach into whatever nastiness is in your couch is minimized.
It also sounds like something that would be fun to hide in someone’s room and then just give a little whistle when they are fast asleep. I am sure you can come up with a thousand other fun uses.
