The Worst Piece of Merchandising I Have Ever Seen... The Henry Ford Mouse Pad

First of all, who still uses a mouse pad? Secondly, although Henry Ford was an engineering genius, he was also a anti-semantic nutcase. And thirdly, the overall graphic design is nauseating. Whoever is responsible at Pencils corporate for buying/ordering this item needs to have their head examined. (Full Disclosure: I drive a 2000 Ford Explorer)

When I first got an optical mouse, I didn't think I needed a mouse pad. The little rubber pads on the bottom of the mouse eventually started wearing away my desk. My mouse moves more smoothly on a mouse pad also.

Mission Statement

I don't have a MBA from Harvard nor did I attend the Wharton School of The University of Pennsylvania. In fact, I barely graduated from high school, but I would like to meet the genius at PENCILS who came up with this business plan: Sell laptop computers and other high-end merchandise below cost to generate floor traffic, then rely on low paid, part-time employees to sell customers crap they don't need (expensive anti-virus software, Microsoft products, 3 Year Extended Service Plans and other add-ons) in hopes of generating a profit. These are my stories.
