Re Woot Off!

OMG, I am dying! Here is the ad copy for the digital camera:


Quote:
How Do You Ask A Man To Be The Last Man To Buy A Mustek?
At first glance, the Mustek MDC500 seems like a typical low-end 5 megapixel digital camera, with standard features like a camcorder function and an SD card slot. But we think it’s a camera fit for a president – especially one of the current crop of contenders. So we loaned each one of them a Mustek MDC500, and here’s what we found on them when we got them back:

Senatorbot Clintron-2008: several photos of a small sculpture that appears to be a model of Mount Rushmore, but with the candidate’s head occupying all four places.

Former Mayor Benny il-Duceani: 58 portraits of the candidate staring into the middle distance with the steely grimace of true leadership. No pictures of the candidate’s estranged children.

Sen. Barry Ohbrother: home videos of the candidate’s visit to the Kenyan homeland of his father, most of which the candidate spent in bed with an intestinal virus.

Former Gov. Flipp Flopney: a short video of the candidate’s speech to the American Association of Americans of America, calling for mandatory abortions in cases where the fetus is suspected of burning the American flag.

Former Sen. “Honest John” Juryawards: photos of the candidate’s hair, from 41 different angles.

Former Sen. Freddie Bob Folkson: snapshots of the candidate with DC lobbyists, Hollywood producers, and other reg’lar folks at his $3,000-a-plate Squirrel Roast & Gala Ball.

Warranty: 90 Day Manufacturer

Re Woot Off!



That one is great!

Has anyone else thought that a few of the descriptions have sort of pushed the nevelope a bit today? There were a couple which nearly made me a wee bit grumpy, and I was wondering if maybe they have a new (and very young) writer working there?

Re Woot Off!

I reversed the order of my credit card security code, so I lost out on the radio wristwatches. Again!


Seriously, I have been trying to buy those for gifts for the boys for just ages, and I always manage to either go to the bathroom at the wrong time or reverse a string of numbers, like I did just now. Dang!

Re Woot Off!

I think I finished my stocking stuffer purchasing today. Almost everything in Shane's stocking this year will come from Woot. I was happy to see the Netgear wireless adapters come back up. I missed them the first time and they work really well with desktop computers. I also got one of those electronic beer guides that I'll wrap up with the breathalyzer I bought earlier this year.

Are those the double sets? How many do you want? I can order them next time I see them and if you manage to get in too, I'll give them to someone else.
