<p>Maybe, it isn&#8217;t that hard after all!</p>
<p>This post lists 10 really weird things some people decided to sell canned for some reason.</p>
<p>Some of them are fake, some are real &#8211; but in either case those are odd!</p>
<h2>1. Canned Weed:</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canned-funny-01.jpg" alt="Canned weed" width="450" height="335" /><span id="more-1135"></span></p>
<h2>2. Canned Hot Dogs</h2>
<p>Was there any particular reason to product a canned hot dog?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canned-funny-02.jpg" alt="Canned Hot Dogs" width="450" height="474" /></p>
<p>Or wait there&#8217;s also a cheeseburger! The whole fast food concept is re-thought now:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canned-funny-02-01.jpg" alt="canned cheesburger" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<h2>3. Canned Brown Bread</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canned-funny-03.jpg" alt="Canned Brown Bread" width="450" height="306" /></p>
<h2>4.  Canned Baptism</h2>
<p>&#8220;Wash away your sins!&#8221; I don&#8217;t need any of this, but I know  someone who does&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canned-funny-04.jpg" alt="Canned Baptism" width="450" height="432" /></p>
<p><small>by <a title="Link to   KitschKat's photostream" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robin/">KitschKat</a></small></p>
<h2>5. Canned God</h2>
<p>Like the above one but it is actually not funny&#8230; Now, stay calm, this is just coffee I guess:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canned-funny-05.jpg" alt="Canned God" width="450" height="323" /></p>

<h2>6. Canned Assholes</h2>
<p>Manhattan style&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canned-funny-06.jpg" alt="Canned Assholes" width="450" height="489" /></p>
<h2>7. Canned Radiation</h2>
<p>Selling an empty can of air and claiming it was full of radiation was a sort of an attempt to remind people of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island_accident" target="_blank">Three Mile Island nuclear accident</a>. The six suggested uses   <a href="http://www.boxvox.net/2009/07/radioactive-gag-gift-packaging.html#more">indicated</a> on the label are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Remove label and tell your enemy its   laughing gas.</li>
<li>Energy free night light (illuminates in darkness).</li>
<li>Mix with cold cream for that radiant beauty.</li>
<li>Instant male   sterilization (sniff twice daily).</li>
<li>Use as a room air freshener.</li>
<li>Toothpaste recipe: mix 3 to 1 ratio with basking soda, for ever glowing   smile.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canned-funny-07.jpg" alt="Canned Radiation" width="450" height="528" /></p>
<h2>8. Canned Armadillo</h2>
<p>Am I the only one who doesn&#8217;t think it looks tasty?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canned-funny-08.jpg" alt="Canned Armadillo" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<h2>9. Canned Eggs</h2>
<p>I really don&#8217;t see the point:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canned-funny-09-1.jpg" alt="Canned Eggs" width="450" height="329" /></p>

<h2>10.   Canned Horse Milk</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canned-funny-10.jpg" alt="Canned Horse Milk" width="450" height="300" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>They say that &#8220;<em>a good name is to be more desired than great wealth</em>&#8221; and many people believe that a name determines your character and success in life.</p>
<p>In business a good name is crucial: this is what people will remember and this is what make them go to the place again.</p>
<p>However,  some business owners choose so strange names that you can&#8217;t but wonder &#8220;<em>What were they thinking?</em>&#8221;</p>
<h2>Baby Dump</h2>
<p>What? Dumping babies? Is that some wicked new service or something?</p>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/unfortunately-named-store-01.jpg" alt="Baby Dump" width="450" height="299" /></p>
<h2>MacStore what?</h2>
<p>It probably is  meant to be &#8220;The MAC Store&#8221; but reads nothing else but &#8220;WTF MAC Store&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/unfortunately-named-store-02.jpg" alt="WTF MAC Store" width="450" height="332" /></p>
<h2>Stolen</h2>
<p>Well, at least they are honest:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/unfortunately-named-store-03.jpg" alt="Stolen" width="450" height="466" /></p>
<h2>Hand Job&#8230;</h2>
<p>I think it is pretty clear what they were thinking about:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/unfortunately-named-store-04.jpg" alt="Hand job" width="450" height="385" /></p>
<h2 id="title_div92485568">Sissy Boy</h2>
<p>An embarrassing place to shop?</p>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/unfortunately-named-store-05.jpg" alt="Sissy boy" width="450" height="361" /></p>
<p><small><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hlk/" target="_blank">src</a></small></p>
<h2>Diarrhea</h2>
<p>Anyone has any idea what the name (and the image) are meant to represent?</p>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/unfortunately-named-store-06.jpg" alt="Diarrhea" width="450" height="372" /></p>
<p><small><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnpgool/" target="_blank">src</a></small></p>
<h2>Fartown</h2>
<p>To make things worse, that&#8217;s a <em>DIY</em> fartown&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/unfortunately-named-store-07.jpg" alt="Fartown" width="450" height="359" /></p>
<p><small><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sp3ccylad/" target="_blank">src</a></small></p>
<h2>Arse</h2>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/unfortunately-named-store-08.jpg" alt="Arse" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p><small><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/geoffnag/" target="_blank">src</a></small></p>
<h2 id="title_div3680623729">LadBROKES</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s a betting shop actually, how ironic: you&#8217;d definitively won&#8217;t bet in there unless you won&#8217;t to become one of those &#8220;brokes&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/unfortunately-named-store-09.jpg" alt="LadBrokes" width="450" height="374" /></p>
<p><small><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/amaldon/" target="_blank">src</a></small></p>
<h2 id="title_div462981071">Happy Crack</h2>
<p>Oh what a combination: it&#8217;s happy and it&#8217;s crack!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/unfortunately-named-store-10.jpg" alt="Happy Crack" width="450" height="380" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/uterus-products-product.jpg" alt="Female-Inspired Products" hspace="10" width="240" height="200" align="left" />We love good old humor, we love getting a hold of extra-ordinary things and we love collecting themes staff.</p>
<p>But sometimes things are too extra-ordinary, the &#8220;theme&#8221; is too gross and the humor is too gross?</p>
<p>Or is ut just me?</p>
<h3>1. Utera Maxima Toy</h3>
<p>The huge stuffed toy or a pillow is done in the form of female uterus. It can be &#8220;unstuffed&#8221; if you want to save on delivery:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/uterus-products-product-01.jpg" alt="Utera Maxima Toy" width="450" height="373" /></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><small><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37506932 " target="_blank">Source</a></small></p>
<h3>2. Plush Uterus</h3>
<p>Very similar to the above, this one very much a plush toy. In fact, I am sure many kids love it: it&#8217;s pink and soft and they don&#8217;t need to know what it was inspired by (they won&#8217;t get it anyway)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/uterus-products-product-02.jpg" alt="Plush Uterus" width="450" height="361" /></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><small><a href="http://iheartguts.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/the-bitch-is-back/" target="_blank">Source</a></small></p>
<h3>3. Breast Pillow</h3>
<p>Two identical pillows in the form of woman&#8217;s breast   &#8220;with rose pink areolas&#8221;. These pillows are very large &#8211; 14&#8243; high and across. They are made of cozy, 100% cotton flannel.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/uterus-products-product-03.jpg" alt="Breast Pillow" width="450" height="355" /></p>
<h3>4. Vagina Pillow</h3>
<p>This 16&#8243;x15&#8243; pillow is &#8220;soft, warm, and fuzzy&#8221; just like the part of the body used for inspiration.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/uterus-products-product-04.jpg" alt="Vagina Pillow" width="450" height="332" /></p>
<h3>5. Utera T-Shirt</h3>
<p>This T-shirt says, &#8220;The Internet. The Series of Tubes&#8221;  but seriously, who would wear that?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/uterus-products-product-05.jpg" alt="Utera T-Shirt" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><small><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14056814@N00/217345056/" target="_blank">Source</a></small></p>
<h3>6. Boobie Scarf</h3>
<p>Now this one looks almost cute but where is this fashion   bringing us?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/uterus-products-product-06.jpg" alt="Boobie scar" width="450" height="537" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/used-buy.jpg" alt="Buy used" hspace="10" width="240" height="240" align="left" />Smart shopping means buying only what you really need, <a href="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/how-to-locate-the-lowest-possible-product-price/">finding the lowest price possible</a> and never paying more than the thing is worth.</p>
<p>Buying certain stuff used is a smart idea: for example, many people choose to buy or borrow kids&#8217; stuff from their friends and relatives (because children grow fast and they don&#8217;t want to spend much money on the things they will need no longer than 6 months or so).</p>
<p>But saving does have its limits as well. Here are 5 things you better not buy used:</p>
<h2>1. Used Shoes</h2>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/used-shoes.jpg" alt="Used shoes" width="449" height="350" /></p>
<p>People may want to buy used shows for various reason: they may want save on footwear they don&#8217;t need often or even happen to need it only once (like wedding shoes for example) or they may just love vintage style overall.<span id="more-840"></span></p>
<p>Here are some reasons why you should avoid buying used shoes:</p>
<ol>
<li>Think about many bacteria and fungal infections that might be found there;</li>
<li>Shoes tend to mold to  feet of people who wear them for some time; shoes worn by someone else have been adjusted to their feet and will unlikely to mold to your feet.</li>
</ol>
<h2>2. Used Mattress</h2>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/used-matress.jpg" alt="Used mattress" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p>The problem with a used mattress is that you don&#8217;t know who used it before and you are never sure you cleaned it well: a mattress has many layers and it can be stuffed with extra material &#8211; so you never know how deep someone else&#8217;s bacteria got.</p>
<p>Of course, people may say that you still sleep on used mattresses in the hotels or whenever you spend a night out of your home, but do you feel  safe there? Do you want to feel the same way when sleeping at your own home?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf90095441.tip.html" target="_blank">Cleaning a used mattress</a> may take you some serious effort: the best way to ensure the mattress is clean of any germs and insects is to hire a professional which is expensive and results in you saving nothing.</p>
<p>Besides, mattresses aren&#8217;t meant to last forever. The best ones are normally intended to be used no more than 10 years &#8211; so by buying an already used one you have a good chance to get yours expire in a couple of years.</p>
<h2>3. Used Underwear</h2>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/used-underwear.jpg" alt="Used underwear" width="450" height="370" /></p>
<p>Maybe you like expensive designer underwear that you can&#8217;t afford but that reason is not enough to justify wearing another person&#8217;s underwear no matter how hard you tried to clean it.</p>
<p>Underwear is meant to be something intimate and personal, you don&#8217;t want to imagine who  wore it before you, do you?</p>
<h2>4. Used Cosmetics</h2>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/used-cosmetics.jpg" alt="Used cosmetics" width="444" height="358" /></p>
<p>It is funny to think anyone ever wants to <em>sell</em> used cosmetics  but yes, they do. Even eBay, the huge stock of various (sometimes really weird) staff, prohibits selling <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/used-cosmetics.html" target="_blank">used cosmetics</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Used cosmetics present some serious health and safety concerns because  the products and applicators used to apply them often come into direct  contact with the body.</p></blockquote>
<h2>5. Used Tissue</h2>
<p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/used-tissue.jpg" alt="Used tissue" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p>OK, this is rather a joke.  Hopefully, you never got an idea to buy a used tissue or  toilet paper but it looks like some people do:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/funny-shop-signs.jpg" alt="funny shop signs" hspace="10" width="200" height="166" align="right" />Sometimes it seems to me shopkeepers don&#8217;t really want to sell anything &#8211; and sometimes they don&#8217;t even want you to come in. Here&#8217;s a funny and entertaining collection of not really polite shop signs and notes:</p>
<p>The owners of this store seems really picky about who is buying from them:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;If you are:</em></p>
<ul class="style2">
<li>Racist;</li>
<li>Sexist;</li>
<li>Homophobic;</li>
<li>or an asshole</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Do not come in&#8221;</em> (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/j0mammma/331553851/" target="_blank">source</a>)!</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/shop-sign-01.jpg" alt="Funy shopping sign: do not come in" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><span id="more-589"></span></p>
<p>And this owner seems really sick and tired of stories: &#8220;<em>Do not bore the shopkeeper to death with stories of your collection</em>&#8221; (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/piblet/1053193670/" target="_blank">source</a>)</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/shop-sign-02.jpg" alt="Funny shopping sign: bored" width="500" height="667" /></p>
<p>No &#8220;wheely shoes&#8221;??? (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alanjustalan/1119863714/" target="_blank">source</a>)</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/shop-sign-03.jpg" alt="Funny shopping sign: no wheely shoes" width="500" height="370" /></p>
<p>This one is really friendly: no babies allowed (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ruhuman/2581536727/" target="_blank">source</a>):</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/shop-sign-04.jpg" alt="Funny shopping sign: no babies and disabled" width="500" height="490" /></p>
<p>A similar one: no children? No pushchairs? Are these guys ever sued? (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chough/234203707/" target="_blank">source</a>)</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/shop-sign-07.jpg" alt="Funny shopping sign: no children" width="500" height="281" /></p>
<p>Very clear shopping hours: is it open right now? (sources: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://bitsandpieces.us/" target="_blank">1</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kristenlou/1453315985/" target="_blank">2</a>)</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/shop-sign-05.jpg" alt="Funny shopping sign: working hours" width="500" height="469" /></p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/shop-sign-12.jpg" alt="Funny shopping sign: working hours" width="500" height="661" /></p>
<p>I do love irony in general, but people please mind your language (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/doctorow/3415914194/" target="_blank">source</a>):</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/shop-sign-06.jpg" alt="Funny shopping sign: rude" width="500" height="281" /></p>
<p>This one  probably belongs to a restaurant rather than a shop but I couldn&#8217;t help including it here for the beautiful shopping-deals concept: no fewer than 7 dishes, if you take 7-10 dishes you will obviously be allowed to spend 20 minutes there (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://blusher.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">source</a>):</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/shop-sign-08.jpg" alt="Funny shopping sign" width="518" height="359" /></p>
<p>This shopkeeper probably couldn&#8217;t wait to close the shop (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lostinthought/299446159/" target="_blank">source</a>):</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/shop-sign-10.jpg" alt="Funny shopping sign: closed" width="500" height="667" /></p>
<p>Brilliant: &#8220;If we are closed, just shove your money under the door&#8221; (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bigio_bio/3698092263/" target="_blank">source</a>)</p>

<p><strong><em>Which one is the most polite? <img src='http://www.dirjournal.com/shopping-journal/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  </em></strong></p>
