Who leave bad reviews due to their own stupidity.

Probably a knock on effect of all the others, but I am now crying with laughter at The 2009-2014 Outlook for Wood Toilet Seats in Greater China

Off to change pants. Hilarious. Did you see the customer pictures for the steering wheel laptop tray? I laughed so much I woke the kids up, they thought something was wrong with me. Thank you OP.

i'm on my phone so it may have already been posted but the reviews of playmobil airport security are good

Wow, had no idea that spoof reviews were such a big thing on amazon. Home taxidermy will keep me in laughs for a while. God help me, I might even try it at home with a frozen "feeding mouse" stuffed with a polystyrene voodoo doll?

Whatmeworry · 09/03/2012 22:48

I think many of these are spoof products too....

This is an utter genius of a thread! Love it.

Specially for fifitrixibelle and anyone who missed it before... I bring you... the MOONCUP REVIEW!!! Enjoy! :o

Brutal mock reviews of 'A Whole New World' CD by Katie Price & Peter Andre:

www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B000JU8FXK/ref=dp_db_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

"Similar in it's ambition to Wagner's "ring cycle" but less German, "A Whole New World" is one of the best sound combinations that has ever been recorded. I also found the case very useful for replacing a tile that had been missing in my bathroom for the past two and a half years. A TRIUMPH!
ESPECIALLY SUITABLE FOR THOSE WITH TILED BATHROOMS "

I'm still struggling to clean up after Penetrating Wagner's Ring

Apologies - I missed where you'd already posted the Katie & Peter review

Has no one posted what must be in the top-ten most reviewed products ever, a David Hasselhoff CD which seems to be so lifechanging that it will cost you over $100.

exexpat · 10/03/2012 01:39

Am I the only one who is now seriously worried about what is going to pop up on my Amazon page for the next couple of weeks? Wolf t-shirts, taxidermy, illiterate religious scrawls and Katie & Peter? Oh, my eyes...

HuevosRancheros · 10/03/2012 07:35

Thanks for all these, hours of happy reading ahead!

Love this one for milk, someone has gone all Edgar Allan Poe!

As punishment for this major social faux pas you must now go and listen to all of a A Whole New World. In full. All 12 tracks of musical wonder. Mine is an evil laugh

NunOnTheRun · 10/03/2012 10:44

Cruel, but fair, Lifeisquiteabsurd.

I'm told that the track 'Hot Shot City' is particularly good.Wink

LadyBeagleEyes · 10/03/2012 10:53

I vaguely remember some mumnetters ending in review for one of Peter Andre's children's book which was really funny.
Must check to see if they're still there.
