Shamwow (http://www.shamwow.com/)
-
I do not know about godawful products, but I know where you can find the best (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,18401.0.html) products for sale.
-
At some point I ended up with the business card of a hypnotherapist who's qualifications were a business degree and two certificates that I don't think are real.
-
I love how the Shamwow commercials always have "It's made in Germany, so you know it's quality."
Those Kinko foot pads (https://www.buykinoki.com/ver28/index.asp?refcode=knki28) look pretty awful and it's totally a fake.

nothing i have seen so far tops this:
(http://img354.imageshack.us/img354/4773/popcornsm1.jpg)
it's a popcorn bowl that comes with a basketball net, cup and remote control holder, and popcorn launcher. the idea is that while you're watching tv you also try to flick popcorn into the basketball net or make a huge stupid mess or whatever the main intent is. i saw this for sale in a store last christmas and almost bought it right there because i knew from that moment on i'd constantly bring it up in conversation and wouldn't have any proof that it did in fact exist. the fact that the cup holder was also described in the store as a "beer can holder" only caused more anxiety because i had assumed this would be for children or something, but no it's apparantly for adults. as if watching television isn't entertaining enough, you have to flick fucking popcorn all over the place while you're doing it too? shit like this is why people don't have attention spans anymore.
-
Haha, that website is awesome.
Knee protector, so that you can finally sleep on your side without having your knees chafe against each other! I could've understood if they marketed it as, say, something to protect your knees when gardening or something, but nope, it's meant for sleeping.

skymall has some amazing stuff too, but because there are hundreds of products on their website and you have to sift through a lot of things that are only kind of stupid i'll just post some of my favourites.
the clock that tells you only what day it is.
(http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/5176/skymall1cs9.jpg)
the sumo wrestler table that is kind of inappropriate and upsetting and makes you look like maybe there are some things people don't know about you, you know, sexually.
(http://i36.tinypic.com/25us3sg.jpg)
the toaster that can only burn really tacky holiday images into your toast and do absolutely nothing else.
(http://i36.tinypic.com/1z55e9s.jpg)
this thing is not only an encyclopedia but asks you questions, like what you like and don't like, and also stores your friends' phone numbers and i think maybe it calls them sometimes. it's really just every definition of the word freaky.
(http://i37.tinypic.com/2repf7p.jpg)
this stuff is all really expensive too. like, every item in this magazine was way more expensive than i would have expected, much less been willing to ever pay. the toaster is something like $60 american. in order to make a profit and be able to charge prices like this, somebody's got to be buying this stuff. the question is who are they? once you start thinking about it you can't stop. you don't know who you're going to suddenly meet who seems really normal at first and then ends up having that toaster in their kitchen.
-
That table is fantastic.
-
It perfectly suits my fetish, which is huge fat Japanese men subserviently holding all my stuff on their back while I watch CSI: Miami.
-
ewwww, csi miami?
-
Do not diss CSI:Miami, I love that show. Among the occasional things I miss about TV is making fun of Horatio.
-
Fluorescent toilet seats so you don't have to turn on the lights when you have to pee at night.
Why not just turn the fucking light on?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
the true epitome of laziness!
-
i guess maybe it's meant to help out people who dislike turning on lights in the middle of the night cos they're just been asleep and lights hurt your eyes etc etc.
personally i'd still just turn on the fucking light and deal with it.
-
yes you're right, point taken! i love how they use the old people in the picture to market it though! and ephemere, i nearly cried looking at those pictures and reading your captions! :laugh:

My friends little sister has that Brian Brain thing. It is the most fucking annoying thing EVER. It insists on yelling at the whole house to WAKE UP SLEEPY BONES TIME TO GET DRESSED AND BRUSH YOUR TEETH!!!!.

Dimmukane, I hate that fucking commercial so god damn much. But I can't help but watch it everytime it comes on.

Hmm, depends. If he met my mom: Brilliant. Otherwise cynical.

Next paycheck, I think I'm gonna get a Furby just because those things were bitchin'.
I saw this one thing at the Party Store when I was like 12. It was this thing called The Undie. It was basically a two-person set of tighty-whities, and, well, it's purpose was pretty obvious.
I'm pretty sure somebody put it there as a practical joke, but I thought it was awesome. What a great idea to have a party where the main theme is to have two people walking around, fuckin'.

A company called "Machina Dynamica" makes some ridiculous audiophile products (http://www.gearwire.com/Tru-Tone_Cover.html). They have a website (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.machinadynamica.com%2F&ei=Z8WiSLanEYjYggLe49E-&usg=AFQjCNGQ_IZ_2DRbFc9Pitc17bRMdoij6g&sig2=q4iOHyuE80XFVCluY5wFdg), but for some reason, replaced their product pictures with old sci-fi magainze covers.
The first link shows you some of their other products for the gullible.

Tania and myself have a fixation with SkyMall (http://www.skymall.com/shopping/homepage.htm?pnr=ING), the airborne shopping catalogue you get on most domestic flights in North America.
I know this is old, but my god I love skymall. Everytime I fly I make a point to read it. It is about the funniest thing ever.

the product pictures on the machina dynamica website are there too you just have to scroll right to the bottom

CHRIST ALIVE ITS A FUCKING ELECTRONIC SWAMP RAT
I had one and my dog ripped its face off. Still worked though. It would start saying it was hungry and one of the ears would fall off.
Yeah, my sister's Furby got left in the garage for a long long time. Then they got popular again and my sister wanted to get it out of the garage.
I don't know if you've ever seen the limited edition "Decaying Flesh" Furby, but let me just say that the sight of that thing gleeping and blooging sadly as its own face sparked and melted away is seared into my brain for eternity.

The whole concept of water energizers cracks me up.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/NvrTooMuchPython/2AO_living_water_gl_38b.jpg)
Because your water has been treated and rid of giardia, it has died! It is filled with negative programming! You must revitalize it by purchasing this glorified electric coaster, which projects chi and orgone (universal life force--a neologism from "orgasm" and "-one," which presumably denotes its thoroughly scientific origins).
You can purchase the transfer couple, which is a little stone circle, that you can energize on your Aqua Optimizer (http://www.hscti.com/c_chigenerator_ao2000.html), then bring with you anywhere to energize your water on the go! The Aqua Optimizer people claim to "have strong indications that it works way beyond our planet."
My boyfriend's father owns and uses a device similar to this.
-
It's not really godawful, but it is completely unnecessary. (http://www.mileskimball.com/MilesKimball/Shopping/ProductDetail.aspx?CID=Kitchen++Gadgets&SCID=Food+Prep&ProductID=0000135558&SiteNum=0&sortBy=Rank%20ASC&TabNum=0)
And these things, I think they are the worst idea ever. I mean really, who thought it would be clever to have two plastic geese (http://www.mileskimball.com/MilesKimball/Shopping/ProductDetail.aspx?CID=Home+D%C3%A9cor&SCID=View+all+Home+D%C3%A9cor&CollectionID=DC0000014&SiteNum=0&sortBy=Rank%20ASC&TabNum=0) that you could set up on your front lawn and dress in little outfits?
My mom used to get the catalog both those things are sold in. I am tempted to have it sent to me now, for a good laugh. Occasionally they do have useful things for sale, but usually everything is just ridiculous.
-
Oh God, speaking of water-treating products:
(http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q232/scapocy/Ozinator.jpg)
Oh hey, let's all put a highly reactive irritant into our water because it will give us even more oxygen and not just cause a bunch of shit!
-
I don't know where it's sold but I saw it on TV (the motorized ice-cream cones reminded me). It was like a Borat style mankini for a parrot. Apparently it was meant to be for if it was flying around so it doesn't shit all over your house. It made me laugh :-P

Magic Bullet anyone?

in all honesty, this product dosen't seem that bad. Maybe it's more of the commercial for it that is really bad.

Shamwow (http://www.shamwow.com/)
I know how sad this is, but I REALLY want a shamwow. I dont even have a good reason to, I just really want one.
-
that picture of the beauty mask alone could be enough to sell it, without even knowing what it does. who doesn't want to be that excited?
-
It looks like a giant head condom. The fact that I have seen cases where this would make sense should disturb me more than it does.
-
It's described purpose sounds fairly useful, tbh. I should get my bf one, he's utterly neurotic about his makeup.

Perhaps I should put this the "best" products thread, but it seems more at home here.
Friends, I give you the five hundred dollar digital cable.
Denon AKDL1 (http://www.amazon.com/Denon-AKDL1-Dedicated-Link-Cable/dp/B000I1X6PM)
Actually, the price has since been reduced a bit...but still, it is a 1.5 meter length of digital CAT5 cable for $370.00. Nice product for the criminally gullible.
-
I remember seeing a pair of 4-ft. cables that cost around 3,000$.
But I love how there are a bunch of one-star reviews because of it being a digital cable that uses copper instead of silver wiring.
-
I think the lamest actually-useful product ever is a pair of those sunglasses that they have at Del Sol. How stupid! If you are buying a pair of sunglasses just so that they will change color in sunlight (where I expect you will be wearing them, unless you are Ray Charles or something), why not save like $10 and buy a normal pair of sunglasses.
-
I thought the idea of those was that they were your prescription glasses that adapted to light so they become sunglasses when it's sunny. That seems pretty sensible to me, it saves you having to swap (and from having to carry 2 pairs of glasses around with you) and presumably they help your eyesight as well as helping you not get blinded by the sun.

also i think its for people who need glasses to see all the time and its difficult to find a pair of sunglasses which will fit over the top of a normal pair of glasses. those glasses also cut out the glare and dont reflect if your outside, making you still able to see where your going and protect your eyes.

This combination is not appropriate at any time of the year. I hate uggs, and wearing a mini skirt with a tank top is just a bit too much. Well, it's to little, I guess. You know what I mean.

I love it when girls do that. The Mini Skirt/Tank Top thing. But that's just me.

Oh yeah. I went there. :evil: Strictly looking at fuel mileage, it's going to take an impractical amount of time to pay for itself.
Just tell me how the hell a car made with batteries that require strip mining for nickel and a voyage around the globe is economical or "green" in any way? Especially when the batteries, like all Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries will reach end of life and become nothing more than dead weight in about a decade? Granted, it seems like most people don't keep their cars that long, but depending on how they drive they won't see any gross cost savings for years.
Think about it. The Prius gets 47 MPG in the real world (46 in government tests) and costs $21,500. A brand new Corrola gets 34 at an MSRP of $16,050. Let's do a little math. We're going to assume you have a choice between a Prius and another car, and will drive both the same amount.
The MSRP difference between the two is $5450. Assuming 50/50 city/highway driving at 15,000 miles a year with $3.96 a gallon gas:
Prius annual fuel cost: $1291
Corrola annual fuel cost: $1980
Fuel cost difference: $689
Price difference ($5450) divided by fuel cost difference ($689) = 8 years to break even
Ratchet that up to a generous 80/20 city/highway figure, and the annual fuel cost difference only jumps to $936. That's still roughly 6 years before you break even.
Here are the break-even points for other cars (at 50/50 city/highway):
2008 Ford Focus: 33 MPG @ $15,380 = 12 years
2008 Honda Civic: 31 MPG @ $15,810 = 9 years
1999 Saturn SL1: 36 MPG @ $14,311 (inflation-adjusted original MSRP) = 20 years
1999 Saturn SL1: 36 MPG @ $4,325 (Kelley Blue Book value) = 48 years
2008 Chevy Aveo: 29 MPG @ $13,255 = 11 years
2008 Toyota Yaris: 35 MPG @ $12,450 = 22 years (on a brand new car form the same manufacturer)
Here's how I got to these results:
([Prius MSRP] - [Comp MSRP]) / ([Comp annual fuel cost] - [Prius annual fuel cost]) = Break-even point in years
Annual fuel cost = [miles] / [mpg] * [price of gas]
Even if you do an assload of driving (30k a year), you'll only cut those numbers in half. (So for the least favorable contender, the Civic, it would take 4.5 years. Either way, you're looking at 120,000 miles.)
TLDR: Unless you drive in stop and go traffic almost exclusively**, a Prius won't save you money for several years compared to a reasonable compact car.
* Original MSRP = $11,295, adjusted for inflation
**and thankfully the vast majority of us aren't so unfortunate
All new car price figures are manufacturer's suggested retail prices for base models equipped with automatic transmissions. For old cars, the Kelley Blue Book dealer resale price for a car with 90,000 miles was used. Whenever asked, I entered 02134 as the zip code. Fuel mileage readings are the average of the user-submitted mileage readings off fueleconomy.gov, rounded to the nearest whole figure. These estimates don't include rebates or maintenance costs, or deal with features. Obviously these numbers will change as the price of gasoline fluctuates. Mileage rating for the Saturn SL is from personal experience. Fine print fine print fine print.

Exactly, Anna. Photo-grey lenses are a brilliant invention but shit that is like twice as expensive just 'cause it looks pretty in sunlight is kindof ridiculous.
I bet that frisbee is badass though.

Alright, I need to side track this thread a little bit. Why the hell do people say this? Is it supposed to make people sound edgy? Because it really just sounds stupid.

I think it used be that it was meant to sound edgy and now it is just an ironic stab at all those goddamn sitcoms that think their characters should say that.

They (http://www.animehot.net/cosplay.html) also have cosplay outfits.
And also these (http://www.coloronpro.com/instant-makeup-animal-kit.html). They just look really awkward and I'm not sure what occasion one would wear them at, except maybe with a Halloween costume.

I'd imagine they'd be worn when cosplaying. While it might not be something you quite get, cosplayers would not see this as a godawful product. From the sellers perspective, if people are buying it and you're turning a profit then the product is just fine.

Oh goodness. The :30 mark on that video is amazing! God bless The Fridge.

No, I just found the cosplay outfits interesting and worth linking to, not awful products or anything.
The eyeshadow product does not look like it's aimed towards cosplayers, though. I found it recommended on a teen website I post at. It seems to have been featured on the Tyra Banks show.

Oh man, Fridge, where's the love?

I know a guy that bought one of those because he was going to have to commute an hour each way frequently, seems like a good idea when you just think of it as a gas-efficient new car, but then you realize that it has worse mileage on the highway than in city.
You really want high mileage? Get an old CRX, up to 50 MPG highway, and it should cost no more than 2k. If you just want a commuter, you could get one of those one-person electric cars. The CRX only has two seats for some reason (in europe, it has 4, but here it doesn't, even though it has a bump where a seat would fit perfectly), but it handles better than a Prius, and accelerates faster than a prius, which is good for when you have those entrance ramps onto the interstate that are about 50 feet long, they like building those around here. The Honda insight also has better mileage than the Prius, still a two seater, though, so for a family sedan, the prius is best gas-wise, though the points about the strip mining and the cost are good ones. Oh, and that Yaris? There was an older one called an echo, also got just about as good mileage, but would be easier to find used.

This thread may have been dying a natural death, in which case I apologise, but I needed to tell you about the wonderful Winnie the Pooh Lollipop Holder I bought once for 20p at a school stall (I believe it was second hand).
You stuck a lollipop into the top of Winnie the Pooh's head. The pure genius part was that his head began to rotate, thereby allowing you not only to eat a lollipop without effort, but also to prove that it isn't just owls who can look all the way round. I'd love to show you a photo (or better still a video) but I seem to have lost it.
Another one I particularly liked was bought in Germany by the woman I was working for as a gift for her daughter. It was basically a set of combs that are supposed to slot together and create a zigzag parting in your hair. What they actually do is fit together with a sickening crunch of broken plastic, and then tangle your hair so badly that you have to cut them out. Brilliant.

OMG, the vagina-shoe-foot (I think vagina is apt since that's sort of the... operative part) is the best thing I have ever seen. I shall have to spam everyone I know with that!
-
Make it into a chain letter. People love that.
-
They are saving latex people, this does not look that creepy. really.
-
Okay, I realise that I should not be that surprised by the vagina-foot thing, but..... I am, somehow. Apparently my mind is just clean enough for that.
I would say I have now seen everything, but I am really damn sure I have not. Although that is definitely on the list of thing I don't want to think about for very long at all. And in the interest of saving my brain from breaking, I will stop thinking about it..... now.

If we had those growing up, I would still have both eyes.

I think the lamest actually-useful product ever is a pair of those sunglasses that they have at Del Sol. How stupid! If you are buying a pair of sunglasses just so that they will change color in sunlight (where I expect you will be wearing them, unless you are Ray Charles or something), why not save like $10 and buy a normal pair of sunglasses.
The reason for colored lenses is... well, it actually helps with some vision problems... Silly though it may be. I guess it really helps enough people to be a viable product. Either that or a "Hey its cool"

Introducing "Pointless Pete the Pointless Pencil"
-
One of its listed uses is "Acts as a pencil extender". When is the last time you were really wishing you could just extend your pencil a bit?
-
In elementary school when I'd have like an inch long pencil and I'd be like holding it near the tip, trying to make it rest on my hand so it would be comfortable and it just sucked.

Every time I go to sauna. All the other men have such long pencil´s, and mine is just a stump. There´s no way I could impress women by writing poems with that. *sigh*
-
Man that woulda been hella useful in elementary, I'd like to see you using a pencil that's worn down to the nib and have one of those offered to you. Betcha wouldn't turn it down.
-
dude, i would actually use that. keeps it sharpened, has an eraser on it, makes it easier to take it out of your pocket, not to mention makes it longer.

"All the super heroes is come"
Classic.
Also, Superman has kind of a big head.
-
I think that is to make up for Hulk's teeny-tiny head...
That is the scariest thing I've ever seen...I'd buy it it just because it is so ludicrous.

I'm referring to the PSP itself, the expensive paperweight, not the game.
-
I've never bought one, but I've found the PSP to be pretty fun. Mobile GTA! Also Patapon.

This is a tad lamer

I think this a fair addition to this thread -

It's a record called Having Fun with Elvis on Stage.
You might guess that this was a live album and you'd be half right. It's a handful of recordings of Elvis talking between songs at his live shows. No really, that is the whole thing. This could be considered vaguely, abstractly interesting if it contained interesting or humourous material but alas, this is patently not the case. It's actually genuinely painful to hear.
In a similar vein:

I haven't listened to either, but judging from the stage banter I've heard before they've got to be awful.

Snuggie

oh man I really do want a snuggie now I get so fricken cold when I pull all-nighters for hw :cry:
-
I want a snuggie for my secret society. It's cold in those dungeons.
-
Poncho's are much more comfortable.
-
The sad thing is, I might actually wear one of those if it was a cold day where I had absolutely nothing to do, nowhere to go no one to see, and was completely alone in my house or dorm.
-

You know, after more than 24 hours I really would have expected somebody to make this into bad innuendo by now.

Snuggie: it's just a bath-robe turned backwards, but our infomercial has sick rhyming verse!

My brother just sent off my mom, grandparents and I are Christmas gifts. Facial cream in a little bottle smaller than the palm of my hand that had a retail for 300+ dollars on it? What the fuck is this shit? Why do I need this!?

If he is willing to pay $300 to improve your face, you may have some serious issues.

He manages a store that sells all those fancy products, he got it for free -- but still. Absurd. I ain't gonna use this.

I just want to point out I read this, and I find the jackhammer jesus incredibly awesome. So awesome I had to show my boyfriend and mom. The boyfriend was disturbed by the baby jesus butt plug. My mom was laughing as hard as I was.
