'Tis the season for the unending streams of lists - The Top 10 Outrageous Moments of 2006, The 40 Most Offensive Celebrity Arrests of 2006 (categorized by offended ethnic/religious group), and of course the always reliable List of Dumb Holiday Gifts You Can Buy on the Internet. If you're like me, you dread the arrival of these lists, but find yourself compelled to look. Much like passing a traffic accident on the road, or receiving a hyperlink to a picture of Britney Spears getting out of her car at a nightclub.

So trust me when I tell you that I feel your pain. Really, I do. And I completely understand your skepticism when I tell you that this list, created by Matthew Baldwin of the Dallas Morning News and the very entertaining Defective Yeti blog, is different. Not different in an "every single one of these damn things says their different" kind of way. No. This one is more of the "made me seriously consider clicking through to some of the products even though I read this at work and would probably earn myself a visit from the corporate internet police for doing so" variety.

Let's face it. At this point, you're going to click on the link, if for no reason other than the insane curiousity you'll feel if you pass it by. So providing a couple of examples isn't really necessary per se; it's more of a credibility thing. I wouldn't want you to think I intentionally steered you wrong. After all, how can one resist a list that contains The Beer Belly (pictured above-left):

The beer belly [is] a polyurethane "bladder" that straps to your stomach, allowing you to sneak up to 80 ounces of hooch into your favorite sporting event. . . . The company has a companion product for women that fits into a bra and has been christened "The Wine Rack."

Still not convinced? Perhaps you'll enjoy the USB Humping Dog (pictured below-right):

Plug the adorable plastic puppy into the side of your laptop and he'll enthusiastically thrust away, thereby reducing your already ADD-addled attention span to mere picoseconds. And it's a dog! That's humping! What could possibly be funnier?

If you like those, you're sure to enjoy the Barbie Doll with Pooping Dog and the Breath Capture Test Tube. Go ahead, give it a look!
