What is the stupidest commercial product you can think of?

I'll have to go with the Nintendo Power Glove.



A controler for the nintendo, basically glued to the back of a glove....

What does the glove do? Nothing, except it means you can only use the controler with 1 hand which is, impossible.

Virtual Boy! Come nearly as high as the Power Glove!

Edit:
Maybe not stupid, but badly designed.

Cell phones.

They are highly annoying, and necessary only in one of 1000 situations they are used (at most). They spoil the ability of humans to reliably keep arrangements.

Btw: I think about a fine of 1 € for each unnecessary electronic beep in public (or 1€/s for longer beeps). A twentieth of the money should go as a compensation for those who beep for safety reasons. The rest is for the treatment of stress-induced illnesses.

I'm getting pretty tired of these irritating AT&T "fewest dropped calls" commercials. When I was an AT&T Wireless customer, I didn't have any dropped calls. When AT&T Wireless was bought by Cingular, I didn't have any dropped calls. When AT&T absorbed Cingular and forced me to switch from my original analog cellphone to one of their digital ones back in March, I've had several dropped calls since then. 6 years and no dropped calls until AT&T made me switch to their digital network. Fewest dropped calls my ass...

Here's to men, men who are real men, men who want to go pee...

[DRoseDARs]

Here's to women, women who are real women, women who want to pee like men...

I swear to God there was an actual product that allowed women to use men's urinals standing upright by holding this little foldable cardboard contraption underneath themselves and aimed at the urinal. Use then toss. Google isn't helping me remember exactly what it was called; Magic cup? Magic wing? Bah. Either way, eww. How'd you like to be the one who has to change THAT trashcan everyday?

It is critical to point out here that urine is sterile in most cases.

[DRoseDARs]

I take it you have never had to clean up stale urine. I have. Not the good smell.

[Wiglaf]

On the contrary, stale urine and I have quite the history.

[DRoseDARs]

And on that note, I advise we change the subject.

[Lancer]

My post was about a particularly bothersome advert for a prostate pill.

[DRoseDARs]

Well, I didn't say how much of a change...
