PB Teen Late Summer 2006: His heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will buy that desk
repetitive, with the same pictures, books, and CDs coming up again and again. For example, in every recent issue, they've shown a "locker bin" DVD storage system with bins for "D-F," "G-I," etc. However, if you actually look in the bins, they have a Ranma 1/2 video in the "G-I" bin, The Breakfast Club in the "J-L" bin, and so on. That's not particular funny the first time, and it doesn't get any funnier afterwards.
But PB Teen set a new bar for hilarity on Page 97 of this issue. The product for sale is a white "Shadowbox" desk, which is shown on display between a pair of magazine racks displaying magazines like Cosmo Girl, Teen Vogue, and Marie Claire. A tote bag lies on the floor next to the bag, personalized with the name Molly.
The Shadowbox hutch comes with an attached corkboard, where Molly has set up a schedule for the week's events. Her note for Wednesday is, "Ulysses Book Club with Erich. 5 PM Sharp!!" If you look closely on top of the hutch, teen-magazine loving Molly also has a copy of Finnegan's Wake.
I'm actually pretty disappointed with PB Teen for setting the joke up perfectly and not finishing it off. It would be been friggin' hilarious if Molly was going to the Ulysses Book Club meeting with Leo instead of Erich; as it is, it's just merely hilarious.
I last commented on the PB Teen catalog about a year ago, when they managed to get a picture of Sleater-Kinney into one of their "manly teen's" rooms, but since then, it's become a bit
