Fuck April Fools Day.

It is not fun. Plain and simple. Not saying I fall victim often, but it happens.

Case-in-point:

That's right, you can provide your child (or small adult, maybe korean, friend) with the opportunity to sleep inside their very own Tauntaun!

Or so I thought ...

Upon clicking thru, en route to actually purchasing the damn thing ... I find it is but a joke. Womp.

Naturally, I crafted the following email to the customer service team over at Think Geek:

Rat Bastards:

The wittier-than-usual product copy was the second clue I should've picked up on (#1: the product exuded cool in a way that definitely exceeds your MO)...

It wasn't until clicking thru, in hopes of buying, that I found out the TaunTaun sleeping bag was sham!

Congrats, jokesters. You broke my heart and failed to take my money.

Make this product - I'll buy it. Shit, the demand will far exceed the production (but probably not the license, eh?).

fucking hating april fools,
