Sky Mall Files For Bankruptcy

I travel a lot and one of my favorite things to do when I first settle into my seat on the plane is look at the SkyMall catalog. This litany of weird and wonderful products that no one needs always puts a smile on my face. I can't say as I've ever actually ordered anything from the Skymall catalog but I enjoy it none the less. So, it is with a heavy heart that I tell you, dear reader, that Skymall has declared bankruptcy. I guess there just aren't enough gullible people like my mom that see some bizarre gadget or time saving device, take the catalog home with them, and order said product. As of now they are selling all their assets and hope that someone scoops up the name and continues to sell Lord of the Ring's memorabilia and inflatable palm trees.

It truly is the end of an era. What will I read on the plane between when they tell me to turn off my electronic device and when I can use it again? The in-flight magazine? No one cares about that crap.
