Oh no, where will we order our garden yetis while flying now?

The company behind in-flight catalog SkyMall announced Thursday it was seeking bankruptcy protection. The acting Chief Executive partially blamed it on more fliers using smartphones and tablets while in the air instead of flipping through their magazine.

That means it will be harder to get such great items like novelty swords, robotic face massagers, and wet bars hidden inside globes while you're soaring through the sky. The company said it will still try to run in a scaled-down format during the bankruptcy process so now is your last chance to snag some of these totally useful products:
