Subject: Here's a REALLY Dumb Product
Written By: LyricBoy on 11/27/13 at 8:02 am
OK, so probably lots of you know of the famous Mister Yuk, the green monster whose face is on the stickers that are designed to keep children away from dangerous substances in the house.
I was just over at the University of Picksburgh Medical Center's website. UPMC's Children's Hospital owns the copyright to Mister Yuk. You can buy all sorts of SWAG over there, like sheets of Mr. Yuk stickers to plaster on your household chemicals.
Then I came across this:

WTH??? Selling Mister Yuk travel mugs? This is amazingly stupid. Young kids will see Mummy or Daddy drinking from one of these and will start to think that the Yukster is cool. next thing you know, Junior will be chugging from that bottle of Drano.
Just frigging amazing.

Not enough facepalms in the universe for a marketing fail of that magnitude.

When you see it you'll know quick,
Things marked "Yuk" will make you sick.
Sick, sick, sick...
"Daddy, why are you and Mommy trying to poison each other?"
"Shut up kid, and let us finish this bottle of vodka!"
