If it was used as an oral thermometer, it's positioned just right to make it look like you're sucking a huge yellow Spongebob shlong. If it's used in the armpits, it looks like it's fucking you Tasvir style.

There are so many worse products than this: the size XXL Speedo™, the Celine Dion Greatest Hits album, the Dan Quayle museum, the New York Knicks. While the Spongebob rectal thermometer does deserve a double take, there are far greater horrors that the American consumer has to face.
