"While browsing through my Twitter feed last Friday morning I learned that SkyMall, that wonderful cornucopia of improbable products available to all consumers cruising at 30 000 feet, had filed for bankrupcy. This was such heart-breaking news for me! How else would I be able to distract myself while pretending to listen to the flight attendant’s safety instructions, I ask thee?
As a Fortean, it’s hard for me not to feel slightly responsible for SkyMall’s demise. Looking at their magazine was like Dr. Caligari’s Cabinet of Wonders in a Sear’s catalogue format. It’s also obvious that the fine people behind this company were deliberately catering for us, the individuals with an interest in the paranormal and other things most folks often turn their nose up, just as they would turn up their nose at any wine exhibited in an NFL shoe holder –bunch of snobs! How else to explain the Roswell alien butler, a silvery-skinned Reticulan who would be ready to quell your thirst for answers about the UFO cover-up with a beverage of your choice?"==http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2015/01/a-...o-skymall/
Not to mention the infamous Bigfoot garden statue...
