I've been saying this for years now: a major flaw in Facebook's interface is that it lets you create a friends list, but not an enemies list. Now a plug-in designed by Dean Terry of the University of Texas at Dallas gives users that option:

Last month he and a student released a Facebook plug-in called EnemyGraph, which users can install free and name their enemies, which then show up in their profiles. "We're using 'enemy' in the same loose way that Facebook uses 'friends,'" Mr. Terry explained. "It really just means something you have an issue with." [...]
Who was Mr. Terry so eager to diss? "One of the first things I put was the band Journey," he said of his enemy list, "just because they annoy me, and I thought it was funny." He has also enemied Deepak Chopra and the color red.

Probably a wrong choice of word there.
Seriously, customizing products in this manner ruins their reuse value. Do it only if you plan for it to stay in the family for 100 years.
I see lots of potential beyond the fake stock photo family. Imagine the fetish images you could wrap yourself in on a cold winter's night.
If someone gave this to me, it would be in my top three worst gifts ever. The reason I thought the slanket was worthless is that I already own a couple of robes, ten or so sweaters and half a dozen blankets. Some combination of those have always done nicely, thank-you.
I'm sure someone has Obama's face on one by now.
