Dummy's Guide To Buying a Dummy!

Think your boss is stupid? Say it with a dummy that looks just like him/her. bpb stumbled upon Excitinglives.com, an e-gift hub that can do a 3D caricature of your boss (or BFF or bull dog) and convert it into a bobble head for your dash board. Boss, can I have a raise? You can take that nod as a yes.

Here’s how it works: Send these guys a picture of the person you want the bobble head to resemble, pick hair, skin and eye colour and they’ll get started on creating a clone. Meanwhile, you can browse the site for a perfect body for the head to rest on. Women can choose from bodies clad in business suits, saris, golf gear, bath towels, Play Boy thongs, Marilyn Monroe’s flying dress, to name a few, while men can be seen playing a sport, surfing, wearing a tux and even shirtless and pumping iron.

While putting this bobble head together is fun, the delivery wait can be pretty long. Seven days after you place an order, they’ll email you a prototype of the clone doll to approve, and within 30 days a six inch polyresin bobble head will arrive at your doorstep. They do couple dolls too, which might be
a fun wedding trinket to gift your friend.

Bobble heads aside, the Bangalore-based site is cluttered with way too many gifting experiences and products ranging from candles stands and fresh water black pearl sets to Limo rentals and beer soap. A few of these you’ll have seen before (products from Chumbak and HitPlay), some are fun options (gift a ride in a Formula One car) and others should just not be endorsed (naming stars after people and buying land on the moon).

And that’s all we have in today's episode of The Office - How to work for a dummy. Stay tuned next week for how to steal your boss' job.
