Get Nothing For Christmas!
6:02 Saturday, December 15, 2007
10 days to go and Splash continue to bring you more presents that you may or may not find useful in our imperative guide to Christmas presents. Unfortunately this present falls into the absolutely useless category. For a ‘measly’ $5.00 you can purchase yourself nothing. Yep, that’s right $5 buys you nothing! No really! A plastic see through ball called ‘Nothing†is being sold nationwide in stores across America, including at uber cool store Urban Outfitters. Apparently it offers to do "absolutely nothing" and claims you will "experience nothing". In fact, it even goes on to say, "if something happens, return for a full refund". Damn, people will do anything to make money! Picture by: Whittle/Splash News













I wish I knew where this was sold in Canada. It sounds perfect for the Canadian middle-class lifestyle to which I aspire.
From the same wonderful folks who brought you the gangster board game "Urbanopoly" a few years back...and the 'kid's' cardboard book called, "Meet Mr. Johnson" with a hole in each page. On the last page, you're asked to "shake hands with your new friend!"
Geesh! :-(
No Mona, it was called "Ghettopoly" and what's :-( is the fact they were sold out of both the game and the book by the time I got there (2003). ;-)

"Meet Mr. Johnson" was a big hit in our Diocese that Christmas.
