The Onion: Gag Christmas Gift Boxes


Usually, when I go to a web site, and have to wait for an ad before getting there, I can barely stand waiting for the "skip ad" link to pop up. In this case, the ad was as good as the site. On a visit to The Onion, the ad that popped up was for fake, parody gift boxes. The boxes are real, but the products on the outside are ludicrously funny.

The one featured here was my favorite. There are several others, including USB Toaster, iFeast (a catfood feeder/iPod player), Kleen•Stride (brooms for the front of your shoes), Visorganizer (a storage unit for the bill of your cap), 28-Piece Professional Whisk Set, and Auto Power Strip (attaches to your rear-view mirror). Great stuff.
