She always deserves a chance to have her revenge. The “Male Bashing Punching Bag” is advertised on www.WishingFish.com. They explain:
“Yoga class takes care of most of your stress and tension; girls’ martini nights and the occasional chocolate binge can usually handle the rest. But sometimes Dude just makes you want to get downright violent! That’s when you need this inflatable punching bag with a generic male likeness printed on front and back. Give him a right hook, a left hook, then a good kick to the rear! Repeat until satisfied. If you want to focus your anger on a specific manly nemesis, slide a snapshot of the offender into the plastic face pouch. Then follow the helpful notes and arrows on the bag: ‘punch him here!,’ ‘knee him here!,’ and ‘kick him here!.’ The bottom of the bag is weighted so you won’t send it flying. The best part: when you’re done giving Monster Man a virtual beat-down, you’ll feel a lot better — and he won’t even know what hit him!
“Punching bag measures approximately 5 feet tall.”
Beyond the obvious problems with the product, it doesn’t seem to quite fit in with Wishingfish.com’s self-described image:
“At Wishingfish.com, we have a passion for beautifully designed objects. Objects that inspire us and make life more beautiful. Objects with a sense of humor and style. And we’ve created this place to share our passion with you.
“Our collection includes an eclectic mixture of styles: vintage and modern, funky and sophisticated, East meets West. Our products are practical enough to use every day, yet beautiful enough to save for a special occasion. Use them to create your own unique environment, your own (life) style.
“We update our boutique regularly, so come back and visit us often. We’re trying to build something really special here in our little corner of the Web…”
Apparently the “Male Bashing Punching Bag” has “has sold out and is no longer available”–I wonder if it will be back.
Thanks to Damon Hager, a reader, for sending me this.
