The undressed boy, the underpants, and Keith Olbermann

I was shopping for a La Crosse weather station. I wanted to get the ws-9611u model, the one that shows icons of a little boy wearing dress appropriate for the weather: swim trunks, a slicker, a winter coat, etc. You get the idea. Even though I'm 48 years old, I thought it was kind of neat. Different than my other weather stuff. My wife thought it was cute.

I was all set to buy it at amazon.com. Then I glanced down in the section where they tell you what people who have bought this weather devide have also bought:

1. an extra accompanying sensor.
2. a different la Crosse weather station.
3. the book: Captain Underpants And The Preposterous Plight Of The Purple Potty People

and...

4. the book: The Worst Person in the World: And 202 Strong Contenders by Keith Olbermann

Needless to say, I'm worried about getting this weather station now. Maybe it's not exactly weather enthusiasts who are buying it.
