Links You Must See to Believe

I completely admit to spending my entire day online. Most of my time is spent drumming up business for Bloggy Giveaways and writing how-to-blog posts for Blogging Basics 101. I also spend a lot of time reading news online. Since I don't watch much TV and I'm already plugged in to my computer, I may as well find out what's going on and what's hot, right? Sometimes, though, I come across the most insane things. And I must share them or explode.

1. A new game for your Wii. Really? Pole dancing? Sure, they say it's for mom and dad and great for exercise, but come on. Ten bucks says some pillar of parenting is going to see this as the next big thing for her daughter. Then that kid is going to show up at my kid's school and show everyone how she's already studying for her career. Holy canoli, people. Really?
2. Fizz cup. OK. This is cool. What a great summer-time treat! Except my kids hate soda of all kinds. But they'd love the idea and waste all kinds of soda trying it out! And? Cavities are still better than pole dancing.
3. Scarlett O'Hara costume from The Dollar Store. You really do have to see it to believe it. Some people are just creative beyond all get out.
4. Nightmare playgrounds. Pictures of still-in-use playgrounds that are outdated. And scary if you're in the under 5 set. Or even if you're an adult.
5. Personal DNA. I am a Considerate Inventor. What are you?

"Cavities are better than pole dancing."

I think I'm going to make this my personal mantra. It should be printed on t-shirts. Cross-stitched on to pillows. The title of your book. The possibilities are endless--this is life-changing, sister.

It's sad there's enough nightmares on playgrounds to make a collection. Scary.

My kids will NOT be getting the Wii pole dancing game. Nor will my husband. EVER. Mama don't do no pole dancin.

Ok, if I showed my husband the Fizz Cup, he would want one immediately.

When I'm not so tired, I'll check out all the links...I began with the last one and apparently I'm a creative benevolent. I wonder what all the others mean.

(And, pole dancing? No thank you!!!!)
