GREAT advertising.

Ok, so I'm looking at the Rock Paper Saddam thing and I start clicking links.

http://www.weaselballs.com/

I swear, I have never wanted one of these things. Just like you, I've seen them endlessly tumbling inside small gated areas at toy stores, alonside flipping dogs and pigs that wiggle their snouts and oink. Why would I need such a thing? But this site, with it's truly funny list of reasons why I need to own one, actually made me want to buy one from them.

There are some people that understand what good advertising does - it entertains. And once that sense of being entertained is attached to the product being hocked, the sucker is hooked.

I read the entire page, and the more I read, the more I wanted one. Nope, haven't ordered it, but it's definitely in the back of my mind now as a great gag gift.

Watch the weasel desperately flip around, attempting to cling to the ball. It's like a Pepe LePew cartoon, except, it is a weasel and not a skunk. And the weasel is in love with a ball, not an unfortunately painted cat. And the weasel is silent (sans the ball motor), generally odorless and made in China. But besides all those things, it's pretty much exactly like a Pepe LePew cartoon.

Gotta love it!!!!

And by "make" we mean "order from China."

Hehe.

My dad bought B one of those. It's creepy when it gets left on and it's wiggling around the floor in the dark.

Let's just say...it's been kicked many times.
