For this installment of General Web Content, our monthly series featuring cultural developments on the web, we turn to Consumer Reviews. Almost all products sold online provide a customer feedback section, and a few of these have been humorously commandeered. These reviews are ridiculous, hilarious, crass and weird. Enjoy. (Please add your favorites in the comments section!)

I once saw an ad for paperclips in an office supply catalog. It was funny seeing how the copywriter had to struggle with saying something unique and compelling about a lowly non-descript paper clip. On and on he eulogized, praising and accolading the bent and twisted wire that held paper stacks insurgently together, against their will, with ruthless intent and supple skill.
