The World Has Changed

When I was little, we had wax vampire teeth that you got from the pica (candy machine) or candy store, not Bling Teeth.

At Ghettobaskets.com, you can buy a gift basket for that special “ghetto” person in your life that includes Hot Sauce, Pregnancy Test, Grape Drink, Batteries, Beef Jerky, Potted Meat, Pork Rinds, Noodles in a Cup, After Shave, Plastic Commemorative Plate, Religious Candle, Porcelain Figurine, Kung-Fu DVD, Cassette or VHS Tape, Doo Rag, Vapor Rub, Energy Drank, Soap, and an Outdated Calendar.

Some of this stuff, makes you laugh (I won’t play – you could walk in my mom’s house and find about 80% of this, such as the potted meat, religious candle, vicks, an outdated calendar and more) but some of it just makes me sad. Who’s laughing at who?
