For me, The Ringer. That Johnny Knoxville Special Olympics movie. Thing is, this isn't about movie quality, as I've yet to see the movie. It's more about "why this movie?"

I showed no interest in the movie since it came out god knows when. I don't even have a Jackass obsession that would justify it for that reason. In fact it's my brother that watches Jackass the Movie EVERYTIME it's on Comedy Central. At 2 in the morning, laughing his ass off at full volume. Side Note: His laugh sounds so forced it's not even funny (HA! get it?).

So, anyway, got a gift that made you go WTF?

I got MySims. I know I like the sims, but I wouldn't touch mysims with a 20 foot pole! But at least my parents tried... they could have gotten me "Club Penguin" or something *shudder*

A car winter kit: de-icer, a scraper, and screenwash from one of my auntie+uncles which was a bit like "what?" but they also got me a CD I wanted so, ace!

Mine wasn't a physical gift but it was a great gift. It was the gift of no one of the other 15 or so family members trying to pursue a meaningless conversation with me because we happen to be near each other.

That and I got a movie voucher, I hate cinemas. Although I haven't voiced this opinion to my auntie / uncle (they seem to alternative, 2 years for one, then the other) and they have been giving me the same present since I can remember so that's why that happens. Oh well there is usually a good movie in the space of a year that I will watch after it has been out for a month so there is as little people in the cinema with me as possible.

i got an a pair of skis that i didnt know i wanted until i saw them under the tree...it was less of a "WTF?!" moment and more of a "are my parents clairvoyant?" moment.

A Neon @ sign which runs off my USB. Kind of cool but... Why? I mean, who in history has ever said, "Hmmm, I could really use a Neon @ sign right about now..."?

A bag with a retractable putter, 2 golf balls and a crescent shaped metal thing i'm apparently meant to aim golf balls into. Strange, seen as I haven't played golf since I was like 11, but entertaining while full of wine and lager!

A packet of beef jerky and two packets of smoked salmon.

I have no idea why- I don't even care for smoked salmon or jerky that much.....

Not to worry, though- my father was more than happy to munch on them himself (maybe he did one of those sneaky gift things where he bought the gifts for me, only so I could give them to him....).

I got a laptop case for the laptop that I do not currently have.
Also, even if I did have my laptop with me, I haven't moved it since early this year, April, to be precise.

A PS3 game. I don't have a PS3, all I have is an Xbox 360 that lurks in the corner of my closet eating small children.

A ginormous candy cane. It didn't taste like peppermint, either.

I got a 5lb. jar of Peanut Butter. Not so bad considering the stuff lasts forever and I love peanut butter, but... seriously? A 5 lb. Jar?

Axe body spray. From my grandmother. I wonder what the cashier was thinking when she bought it.

A pair of tiger-paw slippers.

They are so awesome I don't even know how to express it. I'm just going to move into my new apartment and wear them and a robe until all of my roommates are back from the break.
