I have found the absolute STUPIDEST PRODUCT of all time.

Introducing "Spray-on Mud"

Canned mud for 4X4 city slickers

City puddles just aren't big enough
Worried that your 4X4 lacks off-road credibility as you mount curbs and flatten speed bumps in the city?

A firm from Shropshire reckons to have found the answer - spray-on mud.

Instead of heading for the nearest field and churning up beauty spots, drivers can pay a few pounds for a bottle of real, diluted Shropshire mud.

A quick squirt and gleaming "Chelsea tractors" can be transformed into round-the-world voyagers more at home on the High Veldt than the High Street.

1. I would have thought that would be a product
that could only be marketed in America.

3. But, apparently, the bigger use for it...
... according to some reports, is people spraying it on their license plates to avoid detection by the cameras of automated speed traps.

Which doesn't work all that well, since they get stopped and ticketed for obscured plates, anyway....

4. Actually, it's hard to top "Celebrity Air"...
Some asshat, with the help of other asshats, is standing on the side of red carpet events canning jars of air as certain celebrities walk by.

7. Nyah, nyah - that doesn't count

Ebay disallowed that because it can't be proven to exist.

Therefore it's not a product, therefore I win.

Yes! I rule!

:P
