Hilariously absurd Amazon review.
Edited on Tue May-02-06 08:04 PM by Fenris
For a percussive instrument called a Donkey Call.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002JKILK/sr=1-262/qid=1146618022/ref=sr_1_262/002-4855192-6780016?%5Fencoding=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&v=glance

Reviewer: Christopher Beard "I...review...huh?" (Hobbiton, Shire, Middle Earth)

I couldn't be more disappointed in a product. I was having so many difficulties with my donkey. He kept eating rims off my escalade, pooping in the mail box, making passes at my wife, coming home late after a night of heavy drinking, you know, typical donkey mischief. But worst of all, HE WOULDN'T COME WHEN I CALLED HIM!

I was fretful, couldn't sleep, could barely eat...my family was starting to worry. I mean honestly, my last rap album had ZERO phat hits, no sick cuts, the beats were sub-par, you should read it's reviews on amazon!

Then I thought I had the solution to all my problems, a little innovation called "The Donkey Call." There it was, I was a few clicks away from donkey obedience heaven. So I made the purchase. Holy donkey dung, not only did it take me a week to figure out how the damn thing worked, when i did get it to work my donkey was non-responsive and my monkey went cahoots at the awful sound.

So now I've decided a new purpose for the donkey call, it's gonna be my newest beat maker on my next release. Should be tight...at least I hope so because it is going to make or break my career.


:rofl:

2. ROFL.
To make a long story short, the Segway overcame a highly advanced Xaotion army with highly highly evolved technology and all kinds of super high tech lazer guns. So the planet of Xaoton 99 came to peace in the end and everyone was happy.

:rofl:

4. Definitely Humorous... But Why Were You Searching For "Donkey Calls"??
Is this something you're considering buying?

6. Yes, although I wasn't looking for it at the time.
I was looking for a medieval bagpipe, which this particular Amazon store had, and I saw that someone had given this product a single star. A Donkey Call is also known as a Vibraslap, and is used in Western soundtracks a lot (it makes sort of long rattlesnake-type sound).

5. Now who's the market for this weird product anyway?
And I'm not sure I'd want to know...
