Maybe it’s just the bananas talkin’, but it’s really hard to get Consumatron’s slogan to roll off a monkey’s tongue: WHY WE BUY WHAT WE BUY EVERYTHING WE BUY, REVIEWED

Consumatron also has a video blog where Mr. Consumatron himself gives his takes on random stuff. Or as he puts it: Consuming A Minute Of Your Time With Whatever’s On My Mind.

This raises the question, “What the heck is PZ Meyers doing up at the University of Minnesota, Morris, if not testing whether ocean dwelling creatures like tropical fruits?”
