Crazy Products #3

Now I understand Get Smart was a much better movie than most of us anticipated (though I didn’t get to see it in theaters & now have to wait for DVD). And I understand that merchandising is just part of the movie machine. But seriously, who is buying extra bags of chips to get their very own Shoephone?

Notice there’s no actual picture of a shoe phone, so kids can’t see it and bug their parents to buy chips til they get it. And most adults (I’m sure someone somewhere “needs to have it”) could care less.

So this goes under Crazy Products as another moronic attempt to usurp our expendable cash.

My tag line: Because a cell phone can’t be too big.

What’s your tag line?

    Dude, speak for yourself, I totally want a shoe phone! Kind of funny though that now that the technology has gotten small enough to fit into a shoe, people just carry them in their pockets. Hmmmmm

    You must walk on the cleaner floors than I do! And be the most limber person I know…

    My tag line is “fighting the stereotype”. I borrowed it from “Finding Nemo” in the shark support group scene. It’s a reminder to me how Christians often come across as great white sharks to those who don’t know Christ, simply because of our stereotype. That’s something that I’m working to change, one person at a time.
