Water Resistance Treadmill for Dogs Should Have PETA Up in Arms

We've seen water resistance treadmills before, but those were for people. What about for dogs? Clearly, a water resistance treadmill for dogs is an absolute necessity in this day and age. I mean, how else can you possibly keep your dog fit and trim while also instilling a lifelong fear of water and enclosed spaces? It's just perfect. [Product Page via BornRich]

I mean, this is obviously one of the better memes to come out of the gaming industry in years. I've already seen an exercycle with a few buttons so you can play some hot games, and this adds to the magic. Here's how it works: you're thumping along in your t-shirt and shorts, you wig out, save up for a controller, buy one, and then tell mom you're exercising while you lie on your old Sesame Street pillow and play CoD2 for fifteen hours straight. So essentially these things improve the market for gaming peripherals. More »
