    I'd mock, but truth be told I own a chunk of the Berlin Wall in a box & totally had a Pet Rock, so who am I to judge?

      This kind of seems like the next step in the natural progression of things, doesn't it?

      When I was a little girl we used to go visit my great aunt and uncle out in the country, and I was fascinated by their house and their barn, which were filled with all manner of amazing things, such as a Pet Rock, and, yes, a shellacked pile of real cow dung. It was mounted on a piece of hardwood emblazoned with the word BULLSHIT.

      There was also a round plaque that said TUIT. On the back were the words, "You said you would get it done when you got a round to it. Well, here's a round TUIT." I was captured by the mystery of these items, which also included a nude, negligee-clad doll which had adorned my uncle's 75th birthday cake. It looked like this:

      After the fifth grade I was looking forward to another summer trip to my aunt and uncle's house. My mother explained to me, "Your aunt and uncle's house is tacky. Don't say anything."

      I was crushed. I loved their velvet painting of the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.

    HA! I ordered the Cards Against Humanity's Ten Days or Whatever of Kwanzaa gifts for yours truly this year and it is full of win. I'm deep in finals week and not able to devote time to solve the super secret puzzle that is part of the gifts. But I have enjoyed opening my lonely mailbox during the past few weeks to find little envelopes full of randomness. Today, I received a report on financial contributions to Senator Dianne Feinstein (CA) which was typed up like a long Santa's naughty girls and boys list and is longer than me (I'm 5' 2"). Apparently CAH wants their customers to know who's buying a senator's influence and how exactly $4 billion was spent on mid-term elections. Coolio. Last week I received an envelope with stickers that read "dick", "shit" and "fuck". So....yeah. Random.

      I loved the funny pages they sent this year! A comic book artist I went to high school with was featured and I love their work.

      I ordered that as well.

      Today I got cartoons that were all really dark, hilarious, and fucked up.

      Also the fact that it came in an envelope with a cartoon of santa's funeral made everything even more awesome.

      Right? And then some poor intern had to do the research about whether it was legal to ship poop, had to find a bull poop supplier, had to design new packaging to hold the bull poop. This seems like a place I would want to work.

    I'm honestly not sure what to do.

    See, my wife bought this. For herself.

    On one hand, it pays to be the supportive husband. Belittling your spouse isn't cool. On the other... as much as she's tried to spin it, she bought shit. Literal shit.

    I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

        The fun part is people that are excited to receive this box of poop, and also those that have opened their holiday package they bought and were absolutely delighted to get random junk and stickers of words like "Shit" "Fuck" and "Dick".

        I guess if they are happy with their purchases, rock on.

        Just seems to me to be a waste of money, especially during the holiday season. As preachy as it sounds, anyone that has worked at donation centers, shelters or community projects over the holidays realizes how much good 6$ -even $6 in food donations or toilet paper!!! (DONATE TOILET PAPER TO LOCAL SHELTERS FOLKS - sorry) could do for those in their local community, and when they read that 30,000 people sent in $6 for a box of poop.....it has to hurt.

        I'll get off my soapbox now, realizing that I'll probably be flamed by people arguing that I shouldn't speak since I surely have wasted $6 in the past. And I have. But it makes me sad that $180k could do some actual good, and instead....poop. Maybe CAH should match every dollar spent on poop to their local shelters!! that would be rad.

      I bought my brother Cards Against Humanity for Christmas a few years ago because the box said a game for terrible people (on the card I put from one terrible person to another). When I got the email about the box of shit, I seriously considered ordering it and sending it to him. It would have given me a chuckle and I would love to put a stop to these gift exchanges but for some damn reason he refuses.

      But he got me a really nice thank you gift earlier this year so I decided not to. Instead I sent him and his girlfriend an overpriced gift basket. Again. I hate the holidays.

        I feel like surely many/most of these were purchased as gifts. As far as a $6 chuckle between siblings or buddies or whatever goes, it seems as good as any, doesn't it? I'm choosing to look at it this way, at least.

      I'm trying to cling to the bright side here but it's hard.

      They managed to get dolts to shell out money for bill poop and mocked Black Friday. That's a pretty damn bright side to me.
