PRODUCT AD IN THE NYT: WTF

$9.95

What a perfect gift for the kiddies on Easter from World Market! You can color your Easter eggs then color your cat butt holes! Their blurb:

A must-have for cat lovers of all ages, this coloring book features kooky scenes of cats proudly showing off their behinds. This wildly funny and imaginative coloring book is filled with 45 drawings and 20 activities for hours of fun.

 

How was this green lit for production? Who thought this was a good idea? Kooky scenes of feline fetish porn for hours of fun? What 20 activities are we talking about here? I shudder to think. The caffeine hadn't begun to kick in and I thought somehow I had managed to land on the Onion site. Nope. And what a nice fat juicy piece of red meat to throw at the QAnon etal crazies.  Some Republican politician or Fox nut or Christian bellower is gonna be waving this for the cameras as yet another example of how our culture has gone to hell. 

 

I am simply flabbergasted. And yet once again, I don't have to make stuff up. The real world provides.

Wait, there's more! I visited the World Market site to see if the NYT had been trolled. No, it's real and guess what? There's accessories!

Cat butt magnets-6 pack- $12.99

I was a bit disappointed that the manufacturer did a poor job of depicting the butt hole. I mean, if you're gonna tie into the main feature, then you have to maintain the image commonality. Sure, it would cost more to produce-someone has to go in and hand paint the orifice-but this lack of attention seems cheap and lazy. Imagine this being your job for 8-10 hours a day? Imagine the in-laws reaction when your work is revealed?
