EneMan

Ok everyone. Prepare for some pure, unadultered humor. You don’t get this kind of humor very often.

Aparna & I were in Corpus last weekend, and I spotted this in the kitchen:

EneMan front

And just in case you were wondering what this mighty hero was called:
EneMan front

In case you aren’t familar with Fleet, and the name ENEMAN isn’t clear enough, then please, let me clear up any confusion. This stuffed toy is a superhero in the form on a ENEMA!!! (Now that would’ve been an interesting Wonder Twins Power)

Marketing types at Johnson & Johnson are definitely taught to think outside the box.

Really, seeing this thing wasn’t the most hilarious aspect. No, there was a tie for the funniest thing I’ve seen or heard in 2005:

  • Bless the innocence of youth. Anila believes this to be some goofy guy with a carrot for a hat.
  • Okay, I lied. Nothing was funnier than when Aparna’s dad picked up Eneman, tilted him forward at a slight downward angle, and gave him a few squeezes. Oh man… too funny.

Yes, I did want to take EneMan to give to our soon-to-be-born daughter, but Anila did not want to part with her carrot hat toy.

Nevertheless, I have decided that our daughter will only have non-traditional stuffed toys.(*)

(*)Aparna has decided that is a stupid idea and thus it will not be implemented.(**)

(**)This outcome applies to every parenting “idea” I’ve come up with so far.
