merchandise

A friend of mine sent around this video a while ago and it made me think twice about my own consumption habits and not being wasteful (http://www.storyofstuff.com/).

So when I see signage in the window of an airport store announcing that I can buy elephant shit to carry with me on the flight home, I'm instantly baffled. It makes me want to help elephants open and run an operation that produces signage directing animals to stands the sell human feces for elephant consumption. Brilliant! Seriously though, who on earth buys this stuff?

It also makes me think...didn't those baby on board things go out of style a LONG time ago? The answer is possibly...however, I snapped this photo in October, 2007. Here's to hopes that baby on board products are NO longer being produced. I'm going to give mankind the benefit of the doubt and assume that all remaining BOB suctions in cars today are from the original fad.
