I would rather get in this van than listen to that unicorn anymore.

Thanks to Leonidas for creeping around stores and finding the most disconcerting thing I’ve seen since I gave up LARPing.  I want to point a couple things out on this, then I’ll let it speak for itself.

  • It’s a pocket unicorn.  All of a sudden my pocket unicorn is not looking so bad, is it?
  • It says on the package: “Use for happiness”.
  • It says on the package: “Use for happiness”.
  • The unicorn says that if you’re sad you will make it cry.
  • It says on the package: “Use for happiness”.

OK, so then I assume this is for like, little kids.  But then I realized that for little kids, it might be sort of complicated.  I mean, if you look closely down on the left it says it is “removable”.  From what?  The package?  Why do you need to point that out?  Why would you want to keep it in the package?

Why would you want to keep the “Pocket Unicorn” that specifically orders you to “Use for happiness” in the plastic wrapper?  Seems silly to me.

I guess if this were TV news I would be putting my hand up to my head as some producer chatters frantically in my ear explaining how stupid I am.  But I don’t have that, so my question stands.  Please help me.  If you can’t explain it, help me kill it.  Please?
