All I don't want for Christmas
I've never been much of a boat person, and now I'm pretty sure I never will be. Say hello to the Butt Buoy, a lovely way to float relaxingly on the water and appeal to your inner misogynist. Good times.
Thanks to Katie for the link.

Which is more sad: that someone, somewhere, thought this was a fabulous idea or that it bears absolutely no resemblence to a human posterior? I mean, it looks like a paid of nubs, not a butt- anyone's butt! Personally I think it is a good thing that there are things like "butt buoys" and "tit mice" and whatnot, what better way to underline in neon lights that someone is a moron & that normal people should back away slowly and avoid close contact?
I was in BHS yesterday and they had an 'Inflatable Latina Butt Enhancer' - a pair of inflatable buttocks to put in your knickers and make fun of non-white women and their big fat behinds. Hilarious!
:(

Why do they think you have to be Latina to have a big butt? Mine's pretty big and I'm white.
DOES NOT COMPUTE.
I mean, it doesn't even look like a butt.
I second that. I'm white and I have a pretty big ass.
I'm in the school of: Please. If you think this is funny, put these all over your boat, in your yard, in the rearview mirror in your car. I will then know to avoid your boat, your house, your car, and most importantly, you.
It's like they hand themselves the Douche Card.
I sent it in ... and yeah, I am a boater. Well, a sailor, to be fair. And I have to say, while I have met a few douchey sailors in my day, the vast majority are very nice people.
I blame the powerboaters, of course. :)
I love how *that* mooring buoy is supposed to stick out. People seem to find their way to their buoys by number pretty well, last I checked. And, oh yeah, there's always paint. You'd be amazed what difference a stripe can make.
Ah, yes...
Nothing says "my anchor point so bugger off!" better than a drowning amputee woman.
/sarcasm
Yes, the butt buoy is disturbing, but today I found something even worse in a junk mail catalog. A headless, legless, vibrating "girlfriend pillow" for your lonely friends. This one really sickens me.

Women, obviously, perceive the need in an opposite sex more naturally - for men this irony of the nature is an eternal source of surprise which passes in due course or in a misogyny, or in turn in the ironical relation to the woman.
