maybe i really should look at getting into product development. the thought has occurred to me from time to time over the years when i see products and wonder how on earth they ever made it to market. novelty items i tell you, they can't possibly be any more than that can they? are people actually making money off this?

it hit me again when i saw jeremy's linkblog entry this morning for the the pussy snorkel. someone, please, tell me this is a gag. the concept is amusing, but quite frankly i don't think it would work very well. perhaps i'm just being too cynical?

products like climatique and vazoplex that are advertised on late-nite television bring up the same thoughts. seriously. so they have a product which helps get a woman excited. it's a fucking (pun not intended) cream she rubs on her clitoris... of course she'll get excited. helps her achieve an orgasm. duh! what's next? a cream for a man. hmmm... just rub it on and it will make his penis larger? never mind that we also call that reaction an erection.

i'll give the pussysnorkel people some credit... it's creative. given that they want $12.95 for a little bit of rubber tubing, they could have at least thrown in a pair of rose-colored goggles. or optionally beer goggles for $0.99 more.

now where's that credit card......
