This is ridonkulous.

… And we don’t use that term lightly. This is a Celebrity Weighing Scale from Firebox.com ($34.95 for you masochists among us). Instead of weighing yourself in numbers, you can see if you weigh more or less than, say, Goldie Hawn, or a number of other historical figures, celebrities, and even a couple of fictional characters like Mr. Ed and Fozzie Bear. And Goldie Hawn.

We suppose this is better than weighing yourself every day like a mathematician and scolding yourself for gaining three pounds overnight (we all do it). Still, you’ll probably be freaking out anyway that yesterday you were The Karate Kid and today you’re Mother Teresa! Does the absurdity make it any better?

Actually … maybe.
