The two get together, don wigs and make hilarious videos about one man shows, chefs and awkward dates. One of their more popular videos centered around two women who work in a feminist bookstore. Following desperate pleas for more of these two characters, ThunderAnt has released a second video from the sage-scented counters of Women and Women First. In this video, the ladies select CDs to sell in the store. Watch the video by clicking on the image above left. [Videogum]

<![CDATA[My Virtual Boyfriend]]> Don't you wish your dreamboat boyfriend whispered sweet nothings in your ear every time you saved your pocket change? Well the Japanese have (once again) created a solution to a problem we didn't know we had: The Handsome Man Bank. The piggy bank (or Ikemen in Japanese) has a selection of 5 different cartoon hunks who whisper romantic phrases when a person adds money (ex: "Can I rub your shoulders?"). And though the $75 contraption also doubles as an alarm clock, it does not vibrate in any way, making it totally useless in terms of actually satisfying single gals. [Inventor Spot]
