Humanity is going to hell.

I have seen a lot of stupidity in my lifetime, but some things really do stand out from the rest.
Here is an example of how far along the road we are.

Anyone want a beer to help them along the road?

In case you are wondering what the hell it is, it is a bottle opener on the sole of a sandal. The perfect gift for someone that loves to take a stroll down a beach to go and setup a place to drink a nice cold beer. Currently reduced to £79.99, you can now drink a contaminate beer cheaply.

Maybe you can add some more examples.

I spent an evening in a hotel room in Athens during the Greek financial crisis. While trying to find something to watch on the TV, I found a Channel devoted to proposing the virtues of wine for cats. There were bottles of wine with a picture of a cat on the label and they showed it being fed to cats in a bowl.

Reply to Punshhh My cats only drink beer. I do not make them though, they started out by overturning cans and licking up the dregs.

I think that animals should be well cared for, but there is no bloody way I am going to buy them bottles of wine.

I've always worn sandals a lot and the last pair I got have a bottle opener on the bottom. I didn't want it, it just happened to be on the cheap pair I chose. Funny thing is that it's come in handy on occasion but is kind of gross to use.

No silly, wasteful excess has surprised me since I first saw bottled water, imported from France (just before Europe made a major effort to clean up its waterways) to Canada.
I've never once needed a shoe to open my pull-tabs. Screwdriver, yes; shoes, no.
