Unlike the television show, the Simpson's official merchandise line usually sucks big time. This USB hub is no different; the six inches of plastic will spin around and yell, "Woo-hoo!" Everytime you plug in for some juice... every damn time. Fortunately, there is an option to turn off Homer's spinning/yelling action, for the preservation of your sanity. However, chances are, if you just dropped $50 on this you have already lost your sanity. No USB hub in the land will save you from living out the rest of your life as Jim Carrey in Me, Myself and Irene. You will of course not be as good looking, charming or funny and you'll have an annoying USB hub. Tough break, kid. [Product Page via Uberreview].

I'm amazed at the apparent market for 'self-expression' USB hubs.
Perfect for annoying your co-workers. I could easily see this on "The Office".
amazing.
WOOO HOOO I LOVE IT
"...will spin around and yell, "Woo-hoo!" Everytime you plug in for some juice... every damn time..." How is that NOT like Hommer :)))
Its awesome! :)))
Now you can write Homer Simpson off as a business expense - because you really needed a new USB hub. The Animated Homer Simpson Multi-USB Port is a 4-port hub complete with spinning Homer action and the occasional whoop of joy (which you can turn off if you don't want anybody knowing how happy...
"Unblowupable" is a word that's tossed around a lot these days...
With all this technology today, I'd expect the hub to say other things! This really is crap if all it says is "Woo Hoo!"
I'm willing to pay an extra 10 bucks for this piece of crap it is Homer after all, but not an extra 25. One thing worse than crappy promotional merchandise is grossly overpriced crappy promotional merchandise.
