"Busty Mousepads" make me rethink having breasts


Eww. Found this lovely product via Nerve.

Busty Mousepads are described as "a clever ergonomic wrist rest on a pair of gel boobs." Classy.

Make sure to check out the other pic on the website...it was too creepy for me to put up. And I'm not easily creeped out.

Sexist, no doubt. Clever and a great piece of marketing, again, no doubt.

seems harmless, just like penis pasta and breast pasta (I forget it's name, something like "spboobgetti" but much more clever).

This falls into what I now call the "spongebob" category: if you don't like it, ignore it/turn away. Just don't let it get you mad. (referring to the radical right-wingers who were FURIOUS about so-called "gay spongebob," Desperate Housewives ads or saving private ryan and many other harmless/easily ignored items). Just my opinion, but all these controversies (as well as the mousepad link) do is drive up sales for the controversial item.

But in the end... breasts aside, this is perhaps the stupidest looking/most uncomfortable mousepad i've ever seen...

Yeah, it's a great marketing gimmick, like those awful "Kisses" urinals that look like a woman's mouth. The creator, a woman, got lots of attention because of that urinal.

So when will the plumber's version come out? You know, the kind showing the plump backside of a plumber, car mechanic, or gardner, complete with buttcrack?
