The Rejection List

The Best of the Worst of 2010

Tips come to us in many forms: phone calls, emails, careless whispers in crowded bars, the occasional carrier pigeon. Some become stories. Some become nothing. But a lucky few, well, they earn a spot on the annual UD Rejection List.

The Anna Chapman Doll

The Anna Chapman Doll

It used to be when we caught a sexy Russian spy, we seduced her, slipped a mickey into her vodka and put her on the payroll as a double agent. Now we just make a sexy doll in her likeness. This is not how the Cold War was won.

Chairless Seating Apparatus

Chairless Seating Apparatus

You want to sit down. But there are no chairs in sight. Now there’s one, and only one, rational thing to do: use this seat belt–like strap that you wrap from your upturned knees around your back to give you lumbar support. Well, almost give you lumbar support.

Pet Chastity Belts

So you like animals. But you just don’t like them to be so... animal-like. Your go-to: this device, which protects your dog from “unwanted breeding situations.” Actually, wearing this thing means Fido won’t have that problem.

Ghetto Japanese Cell Phone Holster

Holsters for anything that doesn’t need bullets are questionable (with a few notable exceptions). But if you absolutely, positively must answer the phone like a gunslinger, we recommend the Ghetto Japanese Cell Phone Holster. Because no one understands the ghetto like Japanese technophiles.
