“Nails in Motion” Nails Stupidity – Nails in Motion Tip Tops Nail Protectors

White Apricot Seriously?! Nails in Motion Tip Top Nail Protectors

Waiting on your freshly manicured nails to dry is a hassle. And, most of us impatiently leave the salon too soon and smudge them before we even make it to the parking lot. We can only assume it is women like us to whom Nails in Motion Tip Tops are targeted. These little shields lock onto the fingers and offer little welding mask-like protectors that are supposed to keep nails from smudging, while you go about your business. SERIOUSLY?!

Aside from the fact that these look simply ridiculous, are we the only ones who see a variety of issues here, beginning with the fact that these little covers will make it very difficult to pick things up. And, while Nails in Motion might prevent you from banging your freshly polished nails against foreign objects, what’s to prevent you from banging them against the Nails in Motion shields themselves? This is one of those ideas that probably made perfect sense in the wee hours of the morning over a pitcher of margaritas but, in our opinion, still needs some work before it actually nails the problem. $24.99 for a 10-piece set at www.nailsinmotion.com.

New Font is the Cat’s Meow – Neko Font Made of Cats

White Apricot Seriously?! Neko Font Made of Cats

The next time words escape you or, as they say, “the cat’s got your tongue,” write your thoughts down with a font made entirely of frisky felines. Yep, you simply insert your copy into the text box and Neko Font (Japanese for Cat Font), will send it back with the letters magically transformed into kitties. SERIOUSLY?!

We love cats as much as the next person, and we understand that there are some “crazy cat lovers” out there, but why would you go to the trouble to do this? Not only is it difficult to read, it’s, well, a little strange in our opinion. Since it is free, we are sure there are those who will play with it (okay, yes, we did spell out White Apricot and Seriously?! with it…), and think it is the cat’s meow, but we think it is far from purrrrfect. www.nekofont.upat.jp

Ewe Glow, Girl! – Glow in the Dark Sheep

White Apricot Seriously?! Glow in the Dark Sheep

Sheep are known for being a bit, well, dim. But scientists from the Animal Reproductive Institute in Uruguay have produced a flock of the wooly critters that are very, very, bright! Using fluorescent, protein, gleaned from Aequarea jelly fish, these scientists were able to create nine sheep with a distinct glowing yellow green color that appears when they are exposed to certain ultraviolet light. SERIOUSLY?!

Aside from making it easier to count them when we can’t sleep, what other purpose could glow-in-the-dark sheep possibly serve? Supposedly, it makes them easier for shepherds to keep a watch by night, but again, SERIOUSLY?! They’ve managed fine, thus far. Can you imagine how scary it would be to run across one of these genetically altered beasts? The potential for knitting glow-in-the-dark garments aside, this is one experiment that makes us say, “EEEWWWWEEEE.”

Sir Mews-A-Lot is in the House – DJ Scratching Pad

White Apricot Seriously?! DJ Scratching Pad for Cats

Fact: Cats like to sharpen their claws. We submit the corner of a favorite loveseat as evidence. And, if you’ve ever tried to “redirect” your four footed friend with a scratching post, chances are you’ve discovered a second fact: Cats DO NOT appreciate being redirected. So why, we wonder, would you spend your hard earned scratch on a DJ Scratching Pad, designed to make kitty look like Sir-Mews-A-Lot? SERIOUSLY?!

Okay, we admit that the photo is pretty funny, but do you REALLY think this is going to be the instagram-worthy moment that will happen in your own home? First, you have to assume that your cat will actually go near it. Second, if he does, chances are he will simply jump on top of it, rather than sit adorably on his haunches with his two front paws scratching out the beat. Take into account that the base is a piece of cardboard that will most likely collapse the first time DJ Kooky Kat pounces on it, and you can see why this is an idea that has us scratching our heads. $35 at www.uncommongoods.com.

Chew on This – HandzOff Anti-Masturbatory Gum

White Apricot Seriously?! HandzOff Anti-Masturbatory Gum

Bad habits are hard to break. That’s why companies make a fortune on products to help you quit, like Nicotine gum for instance. Some habits, however, might take more than a stick of gum, but you can give it a shot with HandzOff Anti-Masturbatory Gum. SERIOUSLY?!

Okay, we get it. There are some people who just can’t keep their hands to themselves, or rather, OFF themselves (yes, guy at the gym who’s constantly adjusting – we’re talking to you!). However, we can’t imagine how peppermint gum is going to relieve that for “up to six hours!” Perhaps it gives you something else to focus on, or maybe the repetitive chewing is soothing to the senses. Who knows? We don’t even know for sure if this is a real product. However, if you know someone who could benefit from more chewing and less um – self exploration, you might want to buy them a pack. Couldn’t hurt!
