#1 Dad Notebook Mouse Has a Pretty Specific, Limited Target Market
Posted by Adam Frucci at 6:40 AM on May 23, 2008
You're a pretty good dad, I guess, but are you the #1 dad? Are you better than all the other dads in the world? If so, this notebook mouse is designed with you and you alone in mind. If not, get back to ruining your kid's future with your shoddy parenting. There's nothing for you here. [Product Page via i4u]

I'm still wondering when the HP branded version of this is going to show up. I wound up getting the old PC Card version super-cheap because HP had umpteen thousand made and failed to really market them properly, so they were going for about £15 (half the RRP) everywhere. With tha sort of debacle the Expresscard version could become affordable too.

The real question is, how will they deal with the onslaught of men claiming to be the one-and-only #1 Dad?

I'm a modest dad. I'm certainly not numero uno and I don't want to be a "number two" so how about a "90th percentile dad" mouse?

What if you are politically correct and have two ghey dads - would one of them have to settle for #2 dad or would they just get the #1 Mom Mouse?

How 'bout that, huh? The World's Greatest Dad. My son made it for me.
The best in the world. Which means I'm better than just number one.

Yah, I think this would go straight to my dads head. I don't think anyone should be told they're number one. I could just see him at the dinner table know talking about how he gave it 110% and came out swinging, and how big of a win it is for him, and how the other dads put up a good fight.

That "a" becomes an "o" easily for your favorite defense contractor of ANY gender!
-or change that "a" to a "u" and capitalize an "E" out of the exclamation point for that #1 DudE!!

I laughed when I went on to the LEGO store on line and saw;
Father's Day Gift Ideas: Find a Great Gift for Dad!
They totally didn't have this up for Valentines Day or Mothers day (not that I'm a mom!)

@takashimike: It takes two to make a baby, or are they not teaching that in biology anymore? Plus what do women need a mouse for? When is the dad going to find time out of his busy schedule to show her how to use it?... plus you really don't need a mouse to bake a pie anyway. FLAME ON!

If these people had any integrity, they would have only made on of these, and sold it only to whoever is, in fact, the best dad in the world.

@92BuickLeSabre: Yeah.. It's all about dads these days. I guess the people who are making the mouse pad forgot who brought them into this world. I hope that husband won't get any tonight.
