Gifts You DON'T Want

MSN and Marie Claire have paired up to bring you a fun list of gifts you don't want. While some of them are actually kinda cool, like the beta fish book ends, there are certainly some wonderfully terrible gift ideas listed as well.

The gold pills shown to the right sound exactly like an old Dave Chapelle sketch, as they're supposed to bling out your "leavings." I have to agree with MSN on this one, I certainly do not want this as a gift, even if the person giving them spent oer $400 on my present.

Maybe it's just a childhood fascination, but I adore hedge mazes. After fun Halloween corn mazes and the movie Labyrinth, who wouldn't? WebEcoist has a great collection of mazes for your viewing enjoyment. Enjoy!

AdoptaTurkey.com recently threw a Thanksgiving dinner for their feathered friends.

This is adorable, Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg are Bonding through mashed potatoes. My favorite part is Snoop demanding black pepper instead of white pepper.

Japanese Man Lives In Airport For No Reason

It sounds like someone took Tom Hank's role in Terminal too seriously.

Japanese citizen, Hiroshi Nohara, has decided to live in the Mexico City airport for 3 months and with apparently no reason. Since September 2, his home has been in the terminal and he has survived off food and clothing donations from travelers and airport shops lookin for advertising. In his own words, he claims to have no reason for staying so long:
"I don't understand why I'm here," he said through a visiting interpreter originally hired by a television station. "I don't have a reason."

He is now a minor celebrity in the city, as his refusal to go home has ignited the city's imagination. Neither Mexican or Japanese authorities have been able to help persuade him to leave and he may stay put until his visa runs out in Early March.

9 Sickeningly Sexist Ads

Ah, misogyny, one of the final frontiers of terrible, terrible inequalities in our society. It's amazing that only in the 60's sexism was so prevailent in advertising. Sometimes you see ads these days and think how prejudiced they are, but seeing these makes me think "thank god for the advancements in our society." Maybe in another 40 years sexism really will be totally gone from the marketing industry, but I doubt it.
