Okay so I saw two commercials today. I believe these things are some of the dumbest things ever.

1) $69.99 for CHANGABLE DOOR KNOBS THAT LIGHT UP. I find this dumb because it's door knobs. <_< And there's no need for them to light up either. They don't glow in the dark, so they don't help guide you to the door when it's dark. You have to touch them for the knob to light up. But look at the price. That's just a rip off, no matter how many knobs come with it. It's just a door knob, they don't need to be anything outstanding.

2) $24.99 for A CHILD DISCIPLINE STAR THING. I don't know what it's called exactly, but this is what it is... It's either paper, cardboard, something like that... and there's a Star on top (with something on the bottom) and numbers ranging from like... -9 to 9. When the child reaches the star, they get a choice of something they want (and you write the choices on the side). Whereas if the child is being bad, and reaches whatever it is on the bottom, they get something taken away, once again choices are on the side. The numbers are there to show their progress towards the star and bottom. I find this dumb because the woman that made this... just altered a very simple parenting technique. Lots of people do a "star" thing. Her's isn't anything special. What's even more dumb... is the price. After seeing the commercial, (basically if I had a child), I could take a piece of paper and a marker, and make my own. How much would that cost? Less than $3 at most. (Depending on quantity of the items and blah blah blah)

So what does everyone think of these products, and do you know of any dumb products yourself?

I heard they made goggles for chickens, so they don't peck each others eyes out. No idea on the price of that, but it was on television in some craziest ideas or inventions show. One of the ideas that DIDN'T make the cut. ;) For obvious reasons...

By the way, I think that glowing door knob is the same reason people buy cheap tiny flashlights that go on their keychain, so they can see the hole when inserting the key. It's too hard to see outside at night without leaving the front porch light on (as I often do, just I'm smart enough to leave the light on when I leave home at 3PM, and get home at 1AM).

*has just bought and sent the child displine star thingy to erik* it will go to good use :o.

there are some products i don't agree with, such as a product for your dog that i found awhile ago, it's pretty much a pooperscooper, a ball thrower and a leash all combined in one tool thingy. i would'nt want to be throwing dog poo all over my garden/park, nor would i want my dog hooked up to something that smells worse than itself and let alone me looking like a idiot holding a fluresent coloured tool.

Yeah, that doesn't sound too appealing. Do we have any links to these so-called products?

Rofl at the diet water haha.

Sometime I just hate the ad's rather than the actual product, e.g the new coke zero ad that is showing on T.V in Australia is plain stupid.
A couple are at the girls place and she goes to have a shower, while the guy gets a coke zero. The father then knocks on the door and calls out for his daughter. So what does the guy do....drinks more coke, gets rescued by a S.W.A.T team? (wtf) and then is airlifted out, while the team cleans the place up. Just as he leaves the girl comes out in a towel and the guy goes call me and flys off. The slogan of the ad....Coke zero, great coke taste...It's possible. Does anyone else find that ad, irritatingly stupid?
