I don’t own a home or have a dual income, but somehow I’ve still managed to get on this “upscale” mailing list. Which basically means every month, I receive catalogs from certain luxury brands (Sharper Image, Hammacher Schlemmer and Frontgate) trying to sell me all their latest overpriced junk:
A nostalgic looking bike with a hidden motor.
An electronic dog translator.
A fourteen-foot inflatable snowman.
A banquet table for your pets.
A life-size model of Batman.
Now, come on. Why the hell would anybody want this stuff? Can’t you find something better to spend your hard earned cash on? I admit, I’ve been known to spend a lot of money on certain luxury items. But I always keep one thing in mind when I’m shopping: Shit is shit, no matter what it costs. Expensive Crap sucks.
Update: Obviously, those links don’t work anymore. Uh huh.
