Who needs Engrish.com? Real products. Real English. Real Scary.

Today marked the beginning of the Christmas shopping season for me when the tacky catalogs arrived in the mail. Here are some choice descriptions of products. I will leave you to conjure the images in your own heads, since I am too lazy to fire up the scanner. Really, they speak for themselves anyway:

New! Lipstick Lamp has true stay-all-day (or night) color!

Haunted Lighted Face: Transform an ordinary tree into an enchanted tree. Happily haunt the neighborhood with this 4-pc polyresin haunted face with lighted eyes and give your neighbors the "woodland willies".

Santa Commode Set: Dress up the bath with this 3-pc commode set.

Fiber Optic Doves of Peace

America's Pride: Display your treasures and pleasures with this three-dimensional American bald eagle wall shelf. Sculpted in polyresin, this spread-winged eagle captures all the detail and character.

Go ahead, pull something from Louie's nose!


Joking aside, I am actually planning to buy something from one of these catalogs as a gift for one lucky person this Christmas. Tremble in fear, friends and family!

And thats why I miss being in the US of A. I particularly love "America's Pride". I wonder why we dont get such stuff in India.
I have an idea and its called "Amy's Pride". A poly-resin model of Josh (not in his full glory)flapping his hands with little detachable angel wings. Btw, I want half royalties...
