When Memorabilia Goes Too Far

October 30, 2011October 25, 2011 Juli Hoffman

My hubby took these photos while he was in Best Buy. He knew I’d appreciate them. Take a deep breath before you look at today’s pictures.

WTF!!!!! So a bunch of people are sitting around a boardroom and they say,

“I think the world could REALLY use a curling iron that sparkles.”

“Oh sure, sure…everyone LOVES stuff that sparkles. Sparkling vampires, sparkling lip gloss, wouldn’t it be super if women could have a molten rod of sparkling metal to curl their hair with? Wouldn’t THAT be fantastic!”

Then later, the buyers of Best Buy say,

“We have GOT to get pallets and pallets of these! Sure people come in to purchase electronics and TVs, but when they see these sparkling hair care products, they won’t think of us as just your ‘father’s electronics store.’ Oh no! We are going to be so hip! So cool! And since the majority of our shoppers are men, what better hair care products could we offer? They will be lined up outside our door to purchase a flat screen TV and Edward’s waving iron.”

Seriously? Seriously! I’m not a huge fan of the whole sparkling thing, but after seeing this display, I declare that Twilight memorabilia is the scariest vampire memorabilia EVER!!!! Run! Run far away!!!

I’m not even surprised. Thanks for the giggle though! Now I know what’s going on my xmas wishlist. 😉

I’m kind of dreading what might be the big thing when my daughters are teens.

  OMG! So true! I’d be happier that I have a son, except there’s styling products for men thrown in there as well.
  
  Can’t you just picture it? Ava have her own counting game! Becca could have her own denture cream. Peter could have his very own Ginsu knife set! It slices! It dices! Look what it can do to a tomato…or a demon!!! LMAO!!!!!!!
