Yes, please. It’s disgusting that Target needs this sign.

While we’re talking about health food: How about a nice meat cake?
It looks like a cake, but it’s actually meatloaf, frosted with mashed potatoes and topped with ketchup. Click the photo for illustrated instructions.
You can buy this… delicacy… in downtown Naples, Italy. Or you can follow these instructions and make it yourself.
It can’t be much worse than deep fried oreos or chicken fried bacon.
I feel like I need to eat a salad now.

When you eat a brownie, do you prefer the pieces on the edge, or the pieces in the middle? If you prefer the edge pieces, then have I got a product for you.
It’s a brownie pan designed to maximize the number of edge pieces. This, of course, is a plan to ruin a perfectly good set of brownies. Who wants the edge pieces? I’m looking for a brownie pan that produces no edges.

Yesterday, my brother and I were in Wal-Mart, where a couple of black guys were buying a TV with one dollar bills.
The cashier was less than pleased.
I’m always amused when I visit Christian Supply, a local Christian bookstore, for a couple of reasons. First, I love seeing the innovative new ways that people try to sell Bibles. You might think that there’s no market for a 2,000 year old book that most everyone in the South already has a copy of, and you’d be right. That’s why Christian marketers have had to invent things like:
This is essentially a standard paperback Bible, but stuffed into a plastic box.
This is a Bible in a metal case. Same words, different style!
Second, I enjoying seeing the blatant exploitation of trends in popular culture, such as:
Frankly, that could be referring to their ratings this season as well as to anything spiritual.
If there is a consumer product, there will be a Christian rip-off of it. Seriously though: Tune in to God? You know iPods don’t have radios in them, right?
These next couple are from the Christian Self-Help section:
Probably the same guy who moved your cheese.
They don’t even try to dress this one up in spiritual language. They just get right to the point.
Then, there are the T-Shirts, ranging from the irreverent to the nigh-blasphemous.
I like how they trademarked this.
Clever.
That’s clearly a picture of a headless dog being held down by a pair of tires.
As with any advertisement, you have to watch that fine print.
If there is MySpace in your afterlife, you did not go to heaven.
Jesus as the Starbucks Lady. Calvin and Zwingli would not approve. Not as offensive as the Godweiser T-Shirt, but close.
As long as Christians are a marketing demographic, there will be cheesy Christian-targeted books, products, and clothes, and I will always have something to write about after going to Christian Supply.
I found a new favorite quote about gay marriage today:
Throughout history, marriage has formed the cornerstone of human society, and we experiment with that institution at our own peril.
Of course, throughout history, it’s more common to find societies where men take multiple wives. I don’t see why we need to redefine that part of marriage.
Also, most marriages were arranged by elders to establish economic liaisons between families. And the family of the bride was usually prepared to pay the family of the groom a healthy amount to take her off their hands.
Now the liberals are trying to shove this whole monogamous marriage for romantic love fad down our throats. I’m a real conservative. I want six wives chosen by my dad, and I want each one to come with a free donkey.
For the fun of it, I opened up notepad on my computer, had a bit of a conversation with my brothers, and then read a couple of random paragraphs from J.R.R. Tolkien. This is the result.

In fairness, the voice recognition is much better if it knows the words ahead of time. Saying “Open Notepad” actually opens notepad. But talking, using the laptop microphones that pick up a *lot* of ambient noise, doesn’t work so well. But it is quite amusing.
I was out at Barnes & Noble tonight, getting some coffee from in-house coffee shop, when I spotted a book I hadn’t seen before: Dave Barry’s Money Secrets. The first couple of chapters are hysterical. I quote from the introduction:
…
Well, no matter who you are, you need this book.
“Why?” you ask.
Because chances are that when it comes to your personal finances, you are, with all due respect, a complete moron. I do not mean that in a derogatory way. I mean it simply in the sense that, when it comes to handling money, you are a stupid idiot.
“But,” you say, “what if I follow the accepted principles of sound money management?”
Great. Except that your so-called “accepted principles of sound money management” are worthless.
“But,” you say, “what if OUCH!”
I apologize for slapping your face, but if you keep interrupting with your stupid questions, we’re never going to get through this introduction.
That was on the first page, and it was enough to get me to buy the book. You should too. It’s worth it for its discussion of the money supply alone.
