So that Bob Dylan Christmas album you've been hearing about? Not only is it for real, what I've heard of it is a positively surreal listening experience. Enjoy (if that's the right verb).

(Found via Bull City.)

Here's one I'm late on, thanks to post-vacation catch-up, but I find this so jaw-dropping that I simply must share just in case you've missed it. In the universe of bad ideas, there are lots of whoppers. But few rise to the level of truly catastrophic, with as much epic-trainwreck potential, as the thought of Bob Dylan singing Christmas carols -- in just the crisp diction you'd expect, no doubt.

Then again, this is the man who gave us "Self Portrait."

ADDENDUM (8/27/09): If it's for real, the Bob Dylan GPS?!

From the Who Thought This Was A Good Idea? file: Presenting the Foghat Wine Collection, in special etched bottles at prices from $20 to $60. Um, right...

(Thanks, Bob.)
