reviews humor
December 9th, 2009
Just last night, I was enlightened to the existence of some unusual products and the hilarious reviews garnered. I believe it is my duty to the world to archive the links here on this blog, as I find myself increasingly less motivated to write about personal stuff.
We’ll start with the Cloverdale Fresh Rabbit. I’m sure you’ll find reviews that are near and dear to your heart, but here’s a few of my favorites.
From Elvis Nixon:
How many weekends have I spent, in the loincloth, knife clenched in my teeth, running through the fields trying to find a rabbit? (A bunch, trust me on this, a bunch.) All so I can have something to sacrifice on the altar once I get to the cave.
Now, with this, home, fix a cocktail, go through the day’s mail, finish my drink and drive over to the cave, yank this carcass out of the box and offer this at the feet of my dark lord and master, boom, done. I’m happy, my dark lord and master is happy, everybody wins.
What a time saver.
From Alabaster Jones: (DRM mocking is always fun)
The manufacturer of this innocuous looking animal has seen fit to hide a rather disgusting form of DRM in it without disclosing this fact to us paying customers. I purchased this rabbit for my daughter, as I thought it would be nice for her to have a more realistic toy than her current stuffed teddy bears and dolls. To my astonishment, it began to smell very bad after only a few hours, and eventually degraded into a hard, wrinkly lump of brittle rabbit flesh. Totally unsuitable for cuddling. It is obvious that the manufacturer expects you to then buy another to replace it. Well not this guy! Once I have been burned I do not return to the flame for more. I will not be purchasing another Cloverdale whole animal, and I suggest that none of you do either. If we continue to accept these practices, things will only become worse! What’s next, Cloverdale? Bears with claws?
*EDIT* It has come to my attention that this animal is intended to be either frozen or consumed immediately at time of receipt. I believe Amazon should be more thorough in their descriptions of products such as this! I do not think it is unreasonable to assume that people will be buying this animal for reasons other than consumption. Until Amazon changes their description, I will stand by my 1 star rating!
From Timothy Poteet: Buyers Beware
Well, I can’t speak for others who may have had a different experience, but my Fresh Whole Rabbit did NOT arrive whole. No head, no entrails, no paws. For just a few dollars more I could have purchased a fully intact one at my local pet store. Granted, I did go with the “Buy it Used” option, to save a few bucks, which may account for some of the wear-and-tear. Buyer beware.
