I thought this was a joke story.
Nope.
For $60, the Cuss Collar, which fastens around a dog's neck, will spit out a swear word every time your dog barks.
The pre-recorded words include bullsh*t, the f-bomb and the like. The product's website states that the product isn't a "shock/vibration/training collar and is not intended for anti-bark training use." It's more of a gag gift that the company behind the collar, MSCHF, is known for.
Who comes up with stuff like this? Very creative minds, I tell ya.
Even though it's being marketed as a gag gift, the fact that those nasty words have been included in the "dog's vocabulary" is pretty "ruff" (hee hee hee).
Wouldn't this have been just as fun if the dog spoke insults? Or foreign language? Or stuff old men (not nasty old men) say?
You know there'll be people walking their dogs through the park and the f-bomb is gonna get dropped to some kid or elderly lady.
It won't be much of a gag gift at that point.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
