What Were They Thinking? Eleven Weird Inventions

Nature’s Platform
Here’s a product that at least allegedly has a purpose. Nature’s platform is a chunk of wood that you put on top of your pisser. Then you stand on it, squat down, and take a dump. I suggest reading their Seven Advantages of Squatting for some insight on “a more complete elimination.” They say that two-thirds of the world squat when they crap. What they don’t say is that they squat not for their health, but because they don’t have access to a toilet.

Richard Simmons’ Dance Your Pants Off
Every time I see Richard Simmons, I wonder what the heck he is thinking, and what the heck America is thinking for allowing someone like him to be famous. When I saw this video Dance Your Pants Off, I instantly became violently upset. I refuse to dance my anything off for a mullet-sporting, daisy-duke wearing former fatty.

Solar Powered Bra
A leading lingerie manufacturer from Japan invented a solar-powered brasserie. This over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder has a solar panel that generates electricity to power a mini electronic bulletin board. The bra padding can be used to store water or vodka that can be consumed from a straw inserted into the bra’s cup. I shake my head; I wonder—why?

Everybody dreams about getting rich quick. I just beg that people stop and think before making more useless crap for the American market. After all, we are in an environmental and economic crisis. My next free twenty is going to gas—not the turd twister.

Regarding Nature's Platform, you say, "What they don’t say is that they squat not for their health, but because they don’t have access to a toilet." Obviously you haven't read the health benefits section carefully. It makes perfect sense. I'm afraid you're the victim of cultural insularity, and your colon and pelvic organs will eventually pay the price.

Neha, you never cease to amaze me. This is such a clever article. I truly like the beer belly beverage dispenser. I could see myself using it ... if only I had invented it, I'd be a millionaire!
