Default A weird notion.

I saw an add. in the NY Times magazine yesterday and thought it might be
a misplaced April First joke. It seemed it might be a colossal mistake
commercially unless there really is a market for an expensive substitute
for the voodoo doll stuck with pins:

Nope. Not a joke. These have been around for a few years. As you
can see, these are the "2nd edition". If they made a female version,
I'd buy one.

In the last few years I've seen those on talk show segments where they
feature odd inventions. Seems like some people are actually buying
these things.

I think it's cute. Unfortunately, I don't have any room for a knife
block or one of these things.

even if it doesn't really cause harm. They're cute!
