V-Beat Air Guitar

by Edwin - on June 5, 2008

So you think you’re the next Axl Rose, but have failed to convince a dozen record labels to date? Why not take out your frustrations of nobody recognizing your musical genius with the V-Beat Air Guitar?

Ideal for tennis racket rockers looking to step up to the next level of pretend axemeistery, this miraculous ‘nonstrument’ is a two-piece motion-sensitive guitar that makes playing a cinch. Talent? What talent? The idea is to hold the headstock section in one hand and move it closer or further away from the body to change pitch whilst your other hand strums over motion sensors ( where the pickups would normally be ). Easy peasy. It’s a bit like being one of those boy band members who twangs away gormlessly whilst some podgy session musician plays the real stuff in the background.

All you angst-ridden budding musicians can always pick up this musical instrument for £24.95.

April Fool’s Day might be over, but this juvenile toy will definitely elicit a fair number of laughs at the office!

Tucked into his tighty-whities, this plush dachshund has a surprise for you when you press his paw! Wiggling his head and arms side to side, he moves his mouth to flatulent phrases including a familiar tune “tooted” a whole new hilarious way! Fun for little ones and goofy grown-ups!

The Pooting Tooting Frank Farter Dog would make for the perfect gag gift, retailing for $14.98 a pop.

Hair Hats: Animals Most Likely Not Harmed

by AndrewD - on June 5, 2008

PETA would have a fit about these Hair Hats, even if they are made out of synthetic animal hair (and heads.) Wearing a fake, albeit realistic, animal head on top of your hair as a fashion statement isn’t exactly the most politically correct choice of style.

Designed by Nagi Noda, the Hair Hats are made out of (what we assume is) synthetic hair, and is crafted to resemble the face of a creature in nature. We’re not quite sure whether the hats are designed custom for each model or prefabricated for a varety of hair colors.

Elvis Rubik’s Cube

by AndrewD - on June 5, 2008

There were two things that everyone knew about Elvis Presley. Number one, there was absolutely no stepping on his blue suede shoes. And number two, he was quite a cultural puzzle. His weight fluctuated like temperatures in a desert and he took more medications than a 70 year old man with AIDS. There was just no figuring this guy’s brain out.

Much like the puzzling nature of the man himself, the Elvis Rubik’s Cube is an ode to the man which we all learned about too late. The man behind the music. If you’ve never caught a rabbit, you ain’t no friend of his. And if you haven’t solved his cube, you might just be an enemy.
