Litter Box House Not really a bad product.  I’m amused that it appears to have two separate rooms, but really I’m just nit picking.  Honestly, I just think it would be great if we decorated our own bathrooms the way SkyMall decorates the cat box.  How great would it be to  camouflage our toilets with giant potted plants, or miniature houses?

Paisley Cowboy Rain Boots Ugly, thy name is “SkyMall Clothing”.  I’m no fashion maven, but I’m curious if there is anyone out there who finds these even remotely attractive.

iPad Mount I have an iPad.  Great device.  Its 9 hour battery makes it wonderful for air travel since you can read books and watch movies on it rather than paging through the SkyMall catalog.  Not once have I thought, “You know what would be great?  Strapping this loosely to my thigh with an elastic band, thereby forcing myself to sit permanently cross legged so that I can easily access the screen.”  This is up there with the “Wrist Band iPhone Holder” as the most unnecessary accessory ever made for a mobile device.

Stainless Steel Wallet As a man, I’ve sat on my keys before.  Not a pleasant experience.  I’m sure accidentally sitting on two rectangular sheets of stainless steel won’t cause any discomfort in my groin region at all.

Sit Fit Exercise Device I have bad news for anyone who bought this product.  If your daily workout includes the ability to sit down and wear high heels while doing it, you’re not actually exercising.

Retro Cellphone Handsets I want to hate this product since it  invalidates the whole principle behind the term “mobile phone”, but I can’t.  It would just be too damn amusing to see people actually using these.  As a side note, I am saddened by the fact that something I used growing up is now referred to as “retro”.  I always used to think of retro as the 50’s-70’s.  Now something from the 80’s is retro.  Yikes.  Maybe I’m becoming old and out of touch.  No, it’s not me, it’s them!  I’m still hip!  I know what will make me feel better…  It’s time to pop in my favorite VHS of “Breaking 2, Electric Boogaloo”.

Hot Dog Leash Continuing the Skymall “humans are assholes to their pets” thread, I present the “Hot Dog Leash”.  Torture your dog by dragging him around with a leash that looks like food, but is probably lead laced plastic made in China.  When our pets finally turn on us, I’d like to stress to our future animal overlords that I was against these types of products.

EZ Jump Rope Take a good look at this picture.  The jump rope is not a single rope, but is instead two separate ropes with handles.  That explains the EZ part of the title, but complete invalidates the use of the singular form of “rope”.  Was jump roping so hard that there was a need in the marketplace to get rid of the more challenging aspects of it?

Healthy Night Light Thank God someone has finally seen fit to start selling “Healthy Night Lights”.  Apparently I had been previously buying unhealthy night lights.  Maybe now the voices in my head will finally stop telling me to kill…

All Great Men Have Mustaches Shirt Despite my inability to grow anything more than a wispy Fu Manchu mustache, this is absolutely true!  Let’s see, there’s Stalin, Saddam Hussein, Hitler uh… never mind.
