Weigh your waste with the toilet-seat scale!
Fantastic news for women grappling with self-image problems: Soon, you'll be able to weigh your own poop! I admit, this might seem like a roundabout solution to the problem, but bear with me. Designer Haikun Deng says she came up with the toilet-seat scale to help weight-obsessed women feel better—or at least lighter—every time they drop a deuce. This is actually an old idea (like, from 1922) that's never caught on. But despite the niche audience, I hope it finally goes into production, if for no other reason than the potential ad slogans like, "Don't frown. Flush it down!"

Count me in whenever a new media vehicle is discovered. Americans are getting slack in their consumption (retail sales down in December 2008.) I’m tired of consumers complaining about this and that. It’s time to up the ante. Long live consumerism! It’s what makes America, America.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry about this one. It's pretty damn funny from one end, but on the other, I have to agree with Craig and Mike- this is just as bad for people battling eating disorders as that lap band that can be adjusted to accommodate more or less food in the stomach. Bravo, people!
