Honesty Is, Indeed, The Best Policy

Share

So on Friday, kind readers, we discussed what happens when a crapft is simply mislabeled. Well, not simply mislabeled. Utterly and completely mislabeled. Today, though, we're going to take a look at crapfts that are indeed labeled correctly. Correctly and un-ironically. This, for example, is named "one-of-a-kind plush toy", which is, to be fair, totally apt if not a touch understated. As is the accompanying footnote: "(Disclaimer: the stitch work is not great.)" In this kind of a situation I really appreciate this crafter's honesty, as my first reaction upon seeing this object was "what a delightfully normal and well-sewn object I have here in front of me on my computer screen. I am seriously going to contemplate buying this perfectly ordinary and painstakingly crafted plush toy. If only I could own something with such a high level of craftsmanship."
And then I would have wasted 24 dollars.


Many thanks to Patty G for sending this one in!

  1. Looks a bit like a ginger root... A ginger man? Definitely a grade 'D' horror film prop. :)

  2. Well... it certainly IS "one-of-a-kind". I do agree with the previous poster who said it resembles a ginger root.

  3. Before I read the other comments, I thought it was a ginger root! I like the fact they've place a measuring strip beside it, as if the size is that relevant!

  8. Trogdor sez:
    "Imagine the joy such an interesting and unique creature could bring to your home or office. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity."

    Funny, when I imagine the "joy" this, um, thing could bring to my home or office, I am filled with dread. It's a one of a kind opportunity (?) all right, an opportunity to show everyone that your eyesight has failed, or that you are a clueless, tasteless boob.
