It was a goofy idea in the seventies, that you take an ordinary rock, package it with a clever idea and sell it to millions of gullible people. It was a fad that lasted for a couple of years ( a couple of months for some) and then, everyone saw what a stupid idea it had been and lost interest.
Need I say more?
Editor's note: I never personally bought a pet rock. Some of us thought it was a stupid idea from the very beginning. I wonder if there's a parallel to 2008 in that?

Good analogy. Goofy idea then, it was in 2008, and it will be in 2012...

"Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive"
Speaking of novelties, Obama made a great Chia-Pet. I suspect it's because of all that manure in his noggin.
ReplyDeleteObama vs. Pet Rock:
ReplyDeletePet rock just sits there and does nothing.
Same could describe Obama presidency.
Teach the pet rock to play golf and the analogy would be flawless.
OMG! There is actually a Barack Obama action figure.

I think a G.I. Joe action figure would kick BO's butt.
Teresa: I did a post on a different, more realistic looking BO action figure here:
