I confess I'm surprised this has given any distress, but I offer my regrets to the offended.

I simply posted this for general amusement (wearing my best deadpan face -- where's my Oscar?) because the reviews were equally deadpan and amusing. And honestly, given the usual Internet screaming match, they were quite restrained, disciplined, and creative in their way. (The blood groove/quarter beef review still makes me laugh out loud.)

The product itself is pretty innocuous (though overpriced for 50c worth of plywood). The wise-guy reviewers simply twigged onto the obvious statistical certainty that someone will use one of these in a moving vehicle and trouble will ensue. It's not about the product; it's about human nature.

FWIW, I'd bet that the extra traffic generated led to more units being sold than would have happened otherwise. Hey, that's show biz!
