Caskets at Costco

Kind of catchy, huh? Costco, the retailer better known for selling jugs of mayonnaise and flats of chips, is now selling caskets in its stores in Chicago and suburban Oak Brook.

Some customers said they like the idea of being able to shop for a casket long before a loved one's death. We say those people are weirdos! Although, several seasons of Six Feet Under have kind of desensitized us from the sight of a casket, the last thing we want to do when we're shopping for bulk chicken is look at one.

Speaking of which, what do you think of this season of SFU? "That's My Dog," the episode where David almost died was like the best show of the series ever.. but every other one all this season have been kind of "eh".
