Crap GadgetsWe wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.
Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

No me, but school friendBack in 1969, a classmate by the name of Alan Clacker saw an advertisement for the "Magic Hypno Coin" on the inside back page of a Marvel or DC comic book - I'm sure you all remember those ads, filled with tat like "Sea Monkeys" and other great cons. He was so excited, going on for weeks that his hypno coin would soon be arriving, and how he would use it to hypnotize the rest of us into impersonating chickens, have one of us rush up to give Margaret Shields a big hug and kiss on the lips, and equally embarrassing acts.
Low and behold, the much anticipated day arrived. We all congregated in the library, and Alan pulled out the (sadly) bend piece of cardboard with some spiral black and white markings on it. He tried to hypnotize us - all to no avail. It was absolute crap - he was so disappointed.
