Critical mass
We interrupt the joy and happiness of our upcoming trip to China to bring you this disturbing, 8-minute video.
Watch a wide assortment of children reach critical mass when they receive a Nintendo Wii for Christmas.
This is what happens when you mix a child with a scarce product and throw in a pinch of Christmas, a dash of greed and an unhealthy dose of social pressure.

A hot new scent
Targeted toward every red-blooded, meat-eating connoisseur, Burger King has unveiled a new burger-scented men’s body spray called “Flame”.
No, apparently this is not a joke. You can actually purchase the perfume for $3.99 and just in time for Christmas too.
The scent officially launched online and in selected New York stores this week.
My question is this: Ladies, would you really want your man to smell like a Whopper?

Momspit
OK. With a show of hands, who has ever suffered the indignity of having your mother lick her finger and then scrub something off your face?
Thank goodness we no longer have to worry about bacteria and germs or other scary things that lurk in saliva because mom spit now comes in a can!
MomSpit is a line of no-rinse cleansers for those times when brushing hands on the seat of your pants simply won’t do. The cleanser doesn’t actually contain spit (that would be gross) but users can rest assured that love is packaged in every drop.
This practical product is available in fig & green tea scents and lemon & white tea scents. Don’t want to smell like MomSpit? The cleanser even comes unscented.
I know one thing. If 2 ounces of Carmi’s spit was worth $9, I’d have her spittin’ all day long.

Harry Potter stamps
I don’t collect stamps. I’ve not seen more than 10 minutes of a Harry Potter movie nor have I read the first sentence from a book and yet this is still pretty nifty.
From The Charlotte Observer...
Britain issued a series of seven postage stamps depicting the covers of the best-selling Harry Potter books Tuesday, days before the final volume in the series goes on sale.
The Royal Mail said about 340,000 people had pre-ordered the stamps - breaking the record of 300,000 pre-orders set by a series of Beatles stamps released in January.
The Royal Mail also released five stamps featuring the crests of the fictional Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and its houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Online, fans can personalize the stamps, placing their picture alongside the crest of their favorite house.
The stamps will be on sale at 40,000 British post offices for the next month and online for a year.
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the seventh and final book in the series, goes on sale in Britain at midnight Saturday.
Rowling’s fantasy series about a boy wizard has sold more than 325 million copies worldwide. She has said two major characters will die in “Deathly Hallows,” which is being released under tight security.
