I was paging through a Pottery Barn catalogue the other day and I just about peed my pants.  If you are a Filipino or know a Filipino, you will get a laugh out of this...

Pottery Barn is selling a wall decoration made up of a large wooden spoon and fork for $149.  I have to laugh about this because this decorative piece was most likely designed by a Filipino considering almost every Filipino I know owns a large wooden spoon and fork.  Now, not all Filipinos have these on their kitchen walls, but rest assured, they have a set lurking somewhere in their homes.

Not only do I find it funny that Pottery Barn is selling a decoration that I've always made fun of, but I also find it funny that there are suckers out there that are willing to purchase it for $149!  Seriously, if anybody wants a large spoon and fork just let me know--I'm going to the Philippines this summer and can purchase a set for you for $5.  (Oh, I can pick up some naughty barrel men for you too.)

I'm not the only one who noticed this rip-off.  By looking at the date of her post, Marie noticed Pottery Barn's ad last year.  Great find!
