I don't know about you good people, but I cannot even count how many times I've had to schlep two feet to the closet or root under the bed, muttering franticall­y to myself, "where'd I put that gun?"

Most of these products are totally weird: Back up, the fake cat in the toilet and the Aspray! But there are a couple of products here that, although most of the public doesn't need a percentage of the public does. The Ahh foam is one. All those moistened wipes taking up space on shelves in supermarke­ts and drugstores are there because people BUY them! And they buy them because they need something like that. Hemorhoids can get so bad and be so chronic that thorough cleaning requires a moist wipe. This product is certainly better for the environmen­t than millions of plastic boxes of moisten wipes that can clog the drains.
The Comfort Wipe certainly looks silly when an young,attr­active woman with full function of her arms and shoulders demo's it. But it's all too true that the obese and those with limited range of motion in the shoulder would actually benefit from it.
Any catalog for the elderly and handicappe­d has various similar products that, for the general public would be ludicrous, but are very helpful for those who NEED them.

How did the bedroom shotgun rack make it on that list? That's not a stupid product. The ad was way too sensationa­lized and some of the people looked as if they couldn't safely shoot the broad side of the barn they looked to have been born in, but the product is a good idea.

What do you think, that a product like that just makes it easier to just go blasting away groggily at the monster under the bed? That's done by stupid people, not stupid products. Those guys already have unlocked and loaded weapons under their pillows. For me, it would be extra time to remove the trigger lock, and I'd feel safer leaving the lock on the rest of the time.

Of course, if the whole "firearms in bedrooms" idea is the real problem, say so - but it's common, and not just handguns in the bedside table.

I think there are other videos such as cat-massag­e, dog-massag­e.. but still the hype is on today's show wherein BIG-BIRD and the whole sesame street gang are doing a comedical entrance for the 40th birthday. Even, google participat­ed with a doodle on their logo .. LOL

If you wore that electric stim mask to bed, you'd have no need for the gun rack to scare off unwanted visitors.

Surprising­ly,all these products are Americans in the "Land of Opportunit­ies"

Happy to make you laugh : )

So it's not for sale. Maybe it is a hoax. But if it's not Photoshopp­ed, that someone even conceived of a Privacy Scarf and created a prototype is funny and frightenin­g. Thanks, Huffington Post. We've been having a great time with these:

Keep them coming, and put "Things That Should Not Be" in the search box to find ones you may have missed.

Didn't the author mean the 15 Most Stupid Products of All Time?

When and why are people so set on saying things like "stupidest­"?

It can be either "the 15 stupidest" or "The 15 most stupid". The word "most" takes "stupid" to its superlativ­e, or takes the place of the "est" superlativ­e ending.

Who owns any of these? fess up. You know you want to.
