Regretsy Winner

il_430xN.134494404 Congrats to Joy, who won a copy of Regretsy: Where DIY Meets WTF! She found today’s most bizarre Etsy offering, Rear Gear Butt Covers For Your Cat Or Dog (pictured, left).

Description: Is your pet feeling left in the dirt because of his/her unsightly rear? I’ve got them covered… Rear Gear is handmade in Portland, OR and offers a cheerful solution to be-rid your favorite pet’s un-manicured back side.

Rear Gear comes in many designs including a disco ball, air freshener, heart, flower, biohazard, smiley face, number one ribbon, cupcake, sheriff’s badge, dice, and you can even make yours custom, so there’s a Rear Gear for everyone.

Get yours today here at etsy or write me an email and support small business! Please contact me if you’d like multiples… Make sure to note which style you’d like in the shipping notes and enjoy!

This sounds like animal torture to me—or at the very least, not a very green solution to your pet’s anal issues—but I suppose that’s partof what makes it so damn weird.

I hope those Rear Gear Butt Covers are disposable and biodegradable. Imagine trying to be quick enough retrieve the thing in time before your cute puppy does its business or worse, trying and not being quick enough. Ewwwww.

UGH…this has been posted and posted and posted on the Regretsy Facebook fan page to the point where it’s become its own horrible running gag. And for the record, they’re a flap, not an insert…and mostly people buy them as gag gifts. Lame.

Agree with RearGearisLame…*yawn* this is beyond OLD news…if the person who sent that in was a true Regretsy fan, they would have known this thing is a “repeat offender”.

Great, somebody gets a free book for sending in something that has been reposted at least once a week on the Regretsy facebook page. Good call.

This article is incorrect. The contest was to be the first to send in a picture of themselves thumbs up and smiling next to their dog’s ass in the newest Regretsy t-shirt, “This doesn’t belong on Regretsy”.

I feel betrayed by the Home Secretary and the government gleefully welcoming the Winsor report and his recommendations. We are living in difficult times and cuts in spending are inevitable. No pay increase is inevitable but pay cut is a kick in the teeth.This government has set about a PR campaign of misinformation about police pay to portray us as greedy abusers of an archaic pay system’. That is not true. We are victims of the last government’s reforms to introduce a performance element to our pay system.And don’t let this government hoodwink anyone that it will business as usual after 20% cuts to police funding even if they do slash our wages. There will be cuts to services.When the government slash ministers’, MPs’ wages and cut wages for everyone else as well (creating deflation) then I may forgive them.
