Sharper Image Catalog Review - You Should have had some ZZZ's instead!

Leigh isn't too happy with Pleo's inclusion in the Sharper Image catalog.

You can tell she was blogging at 4:45! Perhaps if she'd woke up at a reasonable time, had some crispy bacon, waffles and coffee she would have been a bit less critical - each to their own though.

Apparently:

"There is so much to scorn here, I hardly know where to start. So I'll start at the top: this poor creature's eyes. Why the eyes? Well, because they're blue. So instead of "Pleo" perhaps they should have names it Aryano. Since no animals except humans and a few random malamutes and huskies have blue eyes naturally. Animals that DO have blue eyes-except humans-are albinos. Which means they have extremely poor eyesight/are blind. Which means, Darwin-wise, they are not longed for this world. They can neither catch prey nor avoid being prey. But enough of that little science lesson."

The copy in the brochure states:

Playful and lively
If your Pleo dinosaur loves a good tug-of-war or shows off in front of friends, congratulate yourself — it's all the fun you've had together that has made him the good sport that he is. In his excitement, he just might let loose with a few hoots and honks.

Scared and surprised
Let's not forget that this Camarasaurus is just a baby. Something in Pleo dinosaur's new environment scares him — see how he cowers? But the more he experiences, the more confident he becomes. And then he'll love surprises — the good kind.

Sad and vexed
A sociable Pleo dinosaur who's alone too long or a hungry Pleo who's not getting fed can turn into a sad Pleo. How can you tell? His droopy tail and forlorn look let you know that he's looking for a friendly pat or a taste of his favorite leaf. Does Pleo dinosaur ever get upset? Well, let's just say you shouldn't pull that toe of his too hard.

Drives
Pleo dinosaur's hungry. Getting sleepy. But hey, what's that over there? Like any creature, Pleo dinosaur feels hunger and fatigue — offset by powerful urges to explore and be nurtured. He'll graze, nap and toddle about on his own —when he feels like it! Pleo dinosaur can change his mind and his mood, just as you do.

So it took ya 40 mins to read it, copy it and right a few words of scorn? Time well spent hey?
