Are you planning to do some travelling or Holiday gift shopping this weekend? There's only one way you can do both at the same time, and that's with SkyMall. It's the catalog for products that didn't quite make it into Sharper Image or BrookStone, and are too expensive to sell on infomercials. We picked up the latest issue on a recent flight, and were astounded to find terrible products on every other page. Here, we've picked out the fifty worst items, including horrendously ill-conceived vehicle accessories, impractical grooming devices, and the most terribly advertised gadgets for sale.
But let's start with the gem of a cover, which apparently breaks the rules of the space-time continuum.
Let's overlook the fact that this Soutwest plane cabin includes holiday decorations, Slanket-wearing passengers, and SANTA CLAUS. Look at the lady wearing the red Slanket in the front. She's reading a copy of SkyMall. But look closely, and you'll see that the issue she's reading is the very issue she's on the cover of! Here's a zoomed-in look at the cover-within-a-cover:
Do you have little trouble keeping track of the hour and even the date, but the day always eludes you? If so, then you're a moron.
What do you mean “Not for use while driving?” I’m writing this article from a Passenger Seat Office right now! OH SHI—
If you're too cheap to get a membership to the local pool, but have $500 to spend on a personal oven. Plus, it doubles as a Captain Pike Star Trek costume.
Sleep the restful sleep of a man who has given up on his dignity.

D*** in a box is always a nice gift - unless it's coming from a crossdresser.

Ok, I want one. No, I don't NEED one. I WANT one.
The look on people's faces when they walk in the door and see that on the wall across from them would be TOO good. lol I mean, tell me you guys wouldn't stare at this for a full minute longer than necessary to be sure that, no, there were no numbers and, yes, it really only listed the days of the week. Then turn to the owner of the house and just ask "WTF!?"
lol

I would love to hear Gordon´s thoughts while he reads a catalogue like this.

What else are you going tp do when you are "preparing to land" and have "put your seatback and tray table in the full upright and locked position and put away all electronic devices"?
