These are pretty disturbing for a number of reasons. Maybe it is just my wish that they aren't real, but I' m skeptical about whether they really exist. They don't appear to be photoshopped, but even though they're linked all over the internet, I couldn't find the actual place/s that sell them. And while I was searching around I found this mouse pad. Note that the size of the mini skirt is really very disturbingly small.


And I also found a lot of people who want to buy that pencil sharpener. And one person who thinks that this knife holder is "far more offensive" than the pencil sharpener.

What do you think? Oh, and the knife holder is available multiple places including here.

I'll award some kind of prize to whoever can find where the pencil sharpener and pen holder are sold.

I might need a lobotomy to erase these images from my brain.

Is the mini skirt made by the company that puts out that Axe cologne? I notice there's an AXE logo on it.

I've seen the pen holders at a store called Spencer's.
It's in our local mall.
It is full of stuff similar to that.

Here's a link to a post I did about the pen holder:

It includes links to where you can buy it--along with the male version of the product.

Oh my... someone gave us that knife holder as a housewarming present in my last apartment. I actually rather liked it- and the bread knife was awesome!

I didn't find the knife holder particularly offensive. That article claiming that it was more offensive than the sharpener seemed pretty lame. The writer gives it the name "All Men Are Bastards Knife Block"- is it actually sold as that?. It seems that he's just trying to make a point.

I also found it odd that the in both his article and in several comments, the pencil sharpener is described as being engaged in a consensual sex act- which seems impossible, given that she doesn't have a head.

My first reaction to both the pencil sharpener and the pen holder is that they're extremely tacky, tasteless items. I imagine that, for men who own those, sharpening their pencils is as close as they're going to get to actual sex. -X
