"No Training Wheels for You, Alexander, I've Purchased What Is Essentially a Wooden Scooter!"
The "Wooden Balance Bike," for Scandinavian tykes having a difficult time coping with all of this "growing up" business. Nobody on the playground is going to poke fun at an athletically-disinclined youngster straddling a faux bicycle that goes by the name of "Skuut." Replacement children sold separately.
Give Your Car the Privacy it Deserves!!
$600 is a small price to pay for the comfort your car will have knowing that it can handle its' "business" in private. How would you feel if you had all your hardware exposed? For just $1200 you can be a truly sympathetic owner and ensure that not just the right half, but the whole car has much needed alone time. While this clear, see-through plastic car curtain provides an emotional coverage it must be stated that it offers no protection from physical damages.
Your Marriage is Doomed Anyway
So why not put the final nail in the coffin with a pair of Wireless Headphones? Once you slip these on (along with your crisp hospital pjs), you'll forget all about the significant other laying next to you in your communal twin bed. Get the feel of a deluxe surround-sound system, even in your 8x10 domestic dorm room.

The $150 "Swirl Stool"
Too Safe To Not Photoshop Onto a Profile Model's Ear
This is the Drive Alert Master, a diminutive way to stay awake in the car on those special highway jaunts when consciousness is priority No. 1. The DAM will sound a piercing beep at the "first sound of drowsiness," which we have to assume constitutes any cranial movement of 2 inches or more. Feel at total ease on your next cross-country venture as your earpiece blasts arbitrary alarm after arbitrary alarm through your head, steadying your nerves and your hand. Shit-eating grin optional.
Make Booger Seats a Problem of the Past!

Telling Time Has Never Been So Pointlessly Complicated
Do you remember how smart you felt in kindergarten when you learned how to read a clock for the very first time? Search for that vindication all over again with the Color Pattern Clock, the latest step downward in SkyMall's irritating quest to reinvent the way we tell time. At first sight, the device might confuse you, but once you realize the series of colored lights corresponds with the different numbers on a normal clock, you'll understand just how clever this product really isn't. Great for people with overwhelming feelings of inadequacy and epileptics who love a challenge.

Your General Lack of Awareness Has Never Been So Stylish
Everyone's been there before: you wake up, look over at your alarm clock and say to yourself, " it's obviously 7:45 a.m., but good god, what day of the week is it?" These days, if you don't have access to a newspaper, television, radio, computer, family member, friend, neighbor, passerby, digital wristwatch or calendar, you'll never know! Enter the Day Clock, the latest addition to SkyMall's arsenal of products for the vacuous consumer.
The product details christen the Day Clock "a great conversation piece." Great conversations may include the following remarks: "are you serious," "wow, you're completely serious," and
"my cousin in solitary confinement would love one of these."

There's No Way a Fake Security Camera Could Ever Backfire
Too cheap to install a real security system in your home? You should take the gamble of a lifetime with the Dummy Surveillance Camera, half-hearted subterfuge that renders potential intruders alarmed, then confused, and finally, more determined than ever to gain access to your home. Your family's safety is important: entrust it to SkyMall's aluminum box with a blinking red light.

When you don't have the time to shower in front of a mirror/multimedia onslaught, take those no-good double-crossing whiskers into the shower, turn the water off, and scrape away. Scrape every last motherfucking pore until it bleeds, until it's pure. Yeah, now we're cooking. COOKING IN HELL!!!
Now only $29.99--just because everyone else is going to pay doesn't mean you have to!
