美国：2008年度十大最愚蠢圣诞礼物出炉
Top 10 stupid Christmas gifts unveiled
Short of gift ideas for that person who really does have everything? Then
how about an underwear repair kit or maybe a Barack Obama "Yes, We Can" can
opener?
Website Stupid.com, which claims finding a truly stupid gift is an art
form, on Tuesday unveiled its second annual list of the top 10 "stupidest"
holiday gifts for 2008.
"2008 might have been a bad year for the economy, but it was a great year
for stupidity," said Stupid.com's founder Gary Apple. "Weird products seemed to
come out of the woodwork this year. There was almost too much stupidity to
choose from!"
Last year the list featured a Hillary Clinton nutcracker, a Mother Teresa
breath spary, and portable mistletoe with a suction cup to attach to your
forehead.
Here is New York-based stupid.com's top 10 list for 2008
(http://www.stupid.com/fun):
1. Screaming Chicken, The World's Most Annoying Toy:
This rubber chicken doesn't squeak or squawk. It screams.
2. Wealth Redistribution 2008 Holiday Ornament:
This tree ornament announces that the ornament that used to be there has
been removed and given to someone who needs it more. The Redistribution Holiday
Ornament will let everyone know you're spreading the wealth whether you want to
or not.
3. Mini Guitar Hero:
This miniature version of that mega-hit game is barely 6-inches long but
you can still rock out to songs by Queen, Cheap Trick, Nirvana, and The
Police.
4. Potty Putter:
Why waste time on the toilet, when you can use it to get ready for the
fairway? Potty Putter contains everything you need for an exciting round of golf
without leaving your seat including a putting green for around the toilet, mini
putter, flag stick and two golf balls.
5. Wasabi Flavored Gumballs:
These potent little green confections offer an intense explosion of wasabi.
Strangely, the gum is actually delicious.
6. Men's Underwear Repair Kit:
In this troubled economy, don't throw away your old underwear but repair it
with the Men's Underwear Repair Kit. This handy, inexpensive kit provides
everything you need to get your unsightly undershorts back into presentable
shape.
7. Obama "Yes We Can" Opener:
Every election spawns some interesting products, but this has to be one of
the stupidest. To Obama fans, the "Yes, We Can" opener, seizing on his campaign
refrain, could be a treasure.
8. "How To Tie A Tie" Tie:
Still struggle with your tie? This stylish tie has simple knot-tying
instructions printed right on the front. Just follow the six step-by-step
diagrams and you'll look as dashing as George Clooney in seconds.
9. 2009 Dog Poop Calendar:
Each month features a spectacular landscape or breathtaking tableau, but
somewhere in every shot there's a pile of dog poop. Distasteful? You bet it is,
but the contrast between the beautiful photography and dog poop is
remarkable.
10. Pole Dancer Alarm Clock:
When the alarm goes off, dance music plays and disco lights flash. At the
same time, a buxom blonde dancer gyrates around a pole under the spinning disco
ball.
