Is It Real, or is it the Onion
One of these is an actual product, and one is a joke invention from the Onion. Can you guess which?
So which is it - the ipod dock in a pet bowl or the ipod dock in a vacuum cleaner. One has to be real, they are not both fake, though neither make any sense to me.
The vacuum one makes a little sense, though just barely.
I concur with Kyle. I can see both as ridiculous, but I can actually see pet-loving morons buying the ipod pet bowl, too. The vacuum one makes some vague sense because I can certainly see playing music while you're vacuuming. It seems absurd to attach ipod circuitry to it simply because I don't see (hopefully) anyone not a professional vacuuming for that long, and I'll assume this isn't aimed at someone operating a commercial service like a maid service, who might actually use the vacuum enough each day to justify it.
The vacuum one just might be a good marketing gimmick, at virtually no cost. Heck, it just got a link from this site, after all!
Cheated by looking up "TechnoPetz" to confirm what I already suspected - the pet bowl IPod dock is one of the Onion's cute pre-printed gift boxes you can buy to cause a strained smile on an insignificant other's face when you give him/her an otherwise lame holiday present. Cute little exercise. Happy end of the year to everyone.
Why would you buy an ipod equipped vacuum when you can simply wear one on an armband doing anything? (I've seen people at a nudist club wearing ONLY an ipod)
