Yep, this guy made over a million dollars selling prosthetic dog nuts for neutered pets and now he's won an award from Harvard University.

Wow...just...wow...
The product's Web site says Neuticles allow a pet "to retain his natural look" and "self esteem."
Somehow I dont think self esteem and self image are as important to dogs as they are to people.but im not an animal pyschologist
Yes. But do they pass the lick-test?

This man is my hero.
I've come to expect no better from capitalism. Still, it's a shame. That effort could have been better used.

To say "award from Harvard University" is a bit misleading when that award is an Ig Nobel. It's a bit like saying that someone was given an award by the respected Penguin Publishing company, and it turns out to be a Darwing Award. ;)
Still, I'm always amused, and often chagrined at some of the rediculous things that make people rich. It sort of puts the lie to the idea that people who make a lot of money always do so by making a great contribution to society.
