That was a great article. I LOVE SkyMall - the catalogue is the highlight of the flight for me. There's nothing in there I'd ever buy (I was amazed to read in the article that these are best sellers, good grief!) but I just can't get enough of all those gadgets.

Footie pajamas have a fond place in many people's hearts here, jan. I'm not too too surprised the grownup version is popular. It's like you just need to throw in a paper bag full of homemade popcorn and jump in the car to go to a drive-in movie.

Hah! SkyMall reminds me of that store at the mall. Sharper Image? It was where you were supposed to shop for, like, your dad, or your uncle - someone you couldn't think what they wanted for Xmas, so you got them some quirky gadget.

I saw this yesterday on The Consumerist:

I was all WTF over the iPod toilet paper roll docking station.
Because, really? Really?

What year is Skymall supposed to become intelligent and take over the world, again?
