Toasted Pixel Presents: I Can't See How They'd Be Surprised

The dog condoms have been recalled. A while ago, we did a piece on these dog condoms, and predictably, they're awful, awful things. According to the recall notice, "meat-scented Dog CondomsŪ may present a choking hazard, especially for smaller dogs." IS ANYONE SURPRISED?! Who would've known that a dog presented with a small, meat-flavored object with the consistency of KFC chicken skin would try to eat it? Furthermore, "Dog CondomsŪ researchers are currently investigating the cause of the product failures." How about the fact that they're meat-flavored condoms that dogs are eating?! "If necessary, Dog CondomsŪ products may undergo a redesign to make them more user-friendly and reliably functional." If only the cylindrical membrane would have been more appreciated by dogs who had to deal with this thing keeping them from getting it on. The answer is obviously to make it more user-friendly. How they do this without glue or horrible, fist-pounding, "why"-screaming tragedy is beyond us.
