Life Action Duck Hunt

It's a flying duck and infrared gun. Three direct shots wins it. You've got to see this!!

Um, yeah. It totally looks like fun. Sorry Tony, no live ammo. (But if you want to shoot it with an automatic...)

Inflateable Referee Costume

How could I click away after seeing this description on the product website:
"This inflatable referee costume is useless, nonsensical, absurd and a bit weird. It’s not anything you ever wished for but, once you see it, you won’t be able to live with out it."
Agreed.

Gyroscopic Toddler Bowl

From the ThinkGeek websit: "built like a gyroscope, the inner bowl is weighted and connected to a ring which is connected to another ring with hand grips - so the inner bowl always remains upright!"
As a father, and geek.. I will be hard pressed not to buy this. I still have a pretty spill prone daughter at home.

Delight Huggable Pillow

Honestly the things that designers dream up is absolutely outrageous. I'm sitting here looking at the ugliest pillow on Earth, wondering what possible use it it?

From the site description: " a familiar, fuzzy friend who is always there when you need a warm and comforting hug.." To me, it would make for some horrible dreams if you slept on it, and it also appears totally uncomfortable, but if you insist...
You can spend your money however you like...

Beer Tracker Bottle Opener

How often do two worlds as wonderful as alcohol and gadget meet? Not often enough I think. Either way, it makes us sit up (those that still can) and take notice... It looks like a simple bottle opener, but it has a built-in digital counter that will inform you as to how many beers you’ve opened that night.

See-Saw Bookshelf

Every book tells its own story. Every book has its own weight. By playing with balance, the See-Saw bookshelf visualizes the breadth of our home libraries.

Is Kafka truly heavier than the latest issue of Vogue?..

Just what every home needs. Another artistic eyesore.

Electronic Paper Box Opener Keychain

Ummm... where to start. Okay, as best I can tell this is legit. It's a gizmo that simulates the sound made when opening a shipping box.
Apparently, someone believes that enough people feel a euphoric pleasure from opening packages that a device to simulate the sound was warranted to be mass produced.. Confused? Maybe this will explain...



No? Me either.

Moai Statues (Easter Island) Ice Cube Tray

Well. The title says it all. Except for our eternal fascination for these odd Moai statues off the Chilean mainland. No one really knows their history, but now they can serve a reminder that...

..if something is odd enough, you can make a party theme out of it! Drinks are on! And now they're cool as well as trendy.

Waring® Popcorn Maker

If lack of counter top space
is no consideration in your place,
and shoving popcorn in you waiting face,
is in line with your daily pace

Then I would suggest to you
A device that takes its cue
From a larger point of view
This movie style of popper should do
