Best inventions ever (and by best, I mean worst)

Post Posted: Post subject: Best inventions ever (and by best, I mean worst)

I had to share this. It's legendary in its crappiness. :coolthumb:

I present to you all: the ropeless jump-rope!

It's exactly what it sounds like. A jump-rope replacement that has no rope (and thus, requires no jumping). Because jumping rope requires a football field's worth of space (notice the woman trying to do it right next to the door), and it's too fucking hard, what with all that rope business.

And it's $40. For two fucking bicycle handles!

It improves coordination "just like a jump rope". And it burns calories "just like a jump rope". And it works all your muscles "just like a jump rope".

You know what else does those things?

Thank you for the post. I feel the intelligence of the world skyrocketing as we speak. What a fantastic invention. Why spend five bucks for a jump rope when I can spend forty and get a ropeless one? Fantastic!

Well, it's only a jump rope if there's an actual rope involved. I guess this was lost on the creators, lulz.

I don't know whose worse, the jackasses that designed and marketed this joke, or the actual assholes who bought it.
