Earlier this week I spent about 45 minutes on the Delta Business Shuttle waiting to take off so I could return to Boston. Since I could not turn on my laptop, I picked up the Delta Sky Mall magazine. Like 99% of those who flip through this waste of paper, I had no intention to buy anything – I was just killing time.
I was astounded by how much crap was jammed into the magazine. The crazy products are only part of what had me giggling. The ad copy is enough to make any copywriter break out into peels of laughter.
Check out these gems…
The ad copy exclaims “You’ll stay warm but look so cool” The fleece poncho with pillow all-in-one comes in “cool” colors like candy pink and royal blue. Don’t these kids epitomize “cool”?
The “Beard Cap” which sells for $19.95 is both one piece (cap, mustache and beard) as well as one size. I cannot think of something more ugly or strange looking to wear, but it must make for one hell of a gag gift.
I assume the “Porch Potty” is perfect for the couch potato or obese. After all could be bothered with taking man’s best friend out for a 5 minute walk? The Porch Potty comes with “plush synthetic grass…and self drainage.” Gross!
