S3 Pooper Scooper: Making a Bad Thing Worse

Broadcasting your intention to handle dog excrement is frowned upon by many—ignoring the fact that you usually have a dog tied to your arm—but if you like to keep it sassy, the "S3 Lighted Pooper Scooper" may be your tool of choice. Resembling a whiffle bat, the S3 can be disassembled to reveal a scoop and a container in which to put the samples. But wait—and this really is the first time I've ever seen an infomercial on YouTube, but I suppose it was inevitable—there's more!

In the handle of the S3 is a flashlight, the better to spot canine IEDs before they are triggered. Only $25 plus shipping and handling!

Of course, if you don't line the inside of the recepticle with a plastic bag, you'll be walking around with a plastic container full of crap that you then have to wash out. And if you've already got a plastic bag...

Hmmm, however absurd this is I do sort of envy them the forethought of including a light. Our late night walks used to devolve into (a) turn on mobile phone camera flash and use it as a flashlight to scan the ground with; or, when we'd also forgotten our mobile there was (b) put the bag over your hand and gently pat the ground till you find something warm.
