So what is up with all of these wierd Target products? "Anal Massage" was available not too long ago. Is there a prankster working for Target's web designers, or is this some kind of interesting hack? Inquiring minds want to know.

How much do you get for $25?

Item available in 4-8 weeks? Lame. My man will deliver in 2-3 hours.

Free shipping if you buy two...sweet!

By the dimensions and "Similar Items" links, I'd guess it's a book with that name.

Target.com links a lot of their stock to Amazon.com. Out of context, it looks funny. Here's the corresponding Amazon product. Since it's Young Adult and Library Binding, it's probably one of those books talking about the risks of drugs.

Wow dude. That was difficult. And lame.

Amusing, but nothing new to the Web. Like the kid with the eyeball pointed out, it looks worse than it actually is.

(I don't want to sound too snarky because I was entertained for a little bit by this.)

Can I get a Michael Graves bong with it?

I found this link a while ago and wondered the same thing as Windopaene. Thanks to ALongDecember for clearing it all up. That said, even if it was a hack or something of that ilk, I don't think it should be on the front page. The fact that it's entirely innocent just drives the point home.

Save one-chuckle links for comments.

The marijuana can help you relax before you get that anal massage!

Nyar-har-HAR!!!! Low-paid data entry clerk humor is flippin' ROFOLarious~! This is almost as good as that page where the Jewish rapper was listed as a, um... tool.

Here is it at Barnes and Noble too. It has an ISBN and everything!

Can we finally get over how funny it is that books have titles and Target.com doesn't have a wealth of information for every product they sell.

Free chong!

Well, Cheech Marin was one of the sorry has-beens in all of those Target "wake-up call" bits that ran before Thanksgiving.

All in all, the post is marginally funny. Give me a sec for a few bong rips and I'll tell you how I feel then.

From the comments on the Amazon page:

"This book is a great way to find out how to roll some dubbies. Me and Uncle Charlie read the book cover to cover, and things were awesome, until Uncle Charlie started seeing Al Gore naked doing the tango. He freaked out and jumped out his second story window into the path of a Greyhound bus."

What is it with Al Gore ruining stoner parties?

Where's that stockboy with that lid of grass he said he'd get me?

Not FPP-worthy, but amusing in a similar vein: check out track #17 on this 80s rock compilation.

Dumbass?

Damn - just under the limit for free shipping

I gotta say: this is no longer a one-joke post.

Perfectly good FPPs have floated on way less entertainment value than this one has served up.

(and Wolfdog, that's awesome.)

Great. now my "Recently Viewed Items" list is:
Unified Field Theories...
Nazi Gold...
Blowjob
Dumbass on a Rampage
Marijuana

I bet the NSA is having trouble deciding which list to put me on.

I guess a blowjob is out of the question.
Not just a blowjob, but a sober blojob. They're much rarer.
