Stupid Inventions!

1. The Pet Rock

The pet rock a pet that does not require feeding or cleaning! The pet rock is basically a rock, so you have to use your imagination to pretend the rock is alive. What puzzles me is the fact that this product made millions of dollars. I CANNOT believe that in six months this product made 56 million dollars. The rock costs 16$ USD. ROCKS?!! You could find a rock anywhere. On the street, in the forest, basically anywhere. Some rocks have googly eyes, and are painted, but you could do that yourself easily. Just get a rock, paint it, then glue some eyes onto it. This pet costs 16$ USD. Is it worth it?

2. Head Mounted Toilet Paper Dispenser

When you’re sick you can always count on the head mounted toilet paper dispenser to give you a tissue when you need to blow your nose. This is just plain stupid. One: it will make you look like an idiot. Two: if you are so sick that you need a toilet roll on your head you should be at home, not out. In my opinion, having a toilet roll on my head would be really awkward. You might as well tape a roll of tape on your head. Anyway, you could easily carry one around or fit a small pack of tissues in your pocket, so I don’t think they will be able to sell lots of these.
