SkyMall Has Gone Bankrupt + Will Soon Be Extinct

Well, this is the worst news, like ever.

This might even be worse than the Twinkie + Hostess epidemic...

SkyMall, the magazine that for hours and hours you would flip through is going to soon be extinct.

Why though?

Now, that we can be on our cell phones while you're in the air we have no use for the SkyMall to kill time. Some of the strangest things that ever came out of the SkyMall?

How else to explain why people would pay $99.95 for a zombie lawn ornament or $2250 for a statue of a yeti? Or a framed print spelling out the name of a university, each letter a photograph of an architectural feature? OK, perhaps we’re being a little mean-spirited. Mixed in among the weird and impractical offerings, there were usually things that people would pay good money for even if they hadn’t seen them while trapped in seat 25E. The Cat Genie robotic litter box, for example. And if you were a Batman or Harry Potter fan, then SkyMall had your wand or batarang needs covered.
