Hasta La Gadget!

I think one of the reasons why designer branded stuff is so sought-after is because of the often ludicrous price tag that they carry. (Note that I said that was only one of the reasons, because others could also appreciate it’s beauty, design, and craftsmanship.) Take, for example, a Louis Vuitton handbag. You can buy one tote for close to a thousand bucks, or go for a functional, unbranded handbag that goes for just a hundred dollars.

If your significant other is clamoring for you to get her some designer goods, I’d say turn to a cheaper and ultimately creative alternative. Like this Louis Vuitton Waffle Maker. (Or maybe just a single waffle.)

It’s just a concept design that Andrew Lewicki thought of, but it would be one of those appliances that would exist because of the novel factor they bring.

You might not be able to afford an LV purse for your girl (or for yourself, if you happen to be a girl), but with one of these, at least you could chew on freshly-branded waffles every morning.

Gender roles! Fun to talk about, even more fun to reverse, and extra super duper fun to argue about until you pass out from exhaustion. So let’s do all three! More »

Japan comes up with the weirdest exercise gadgets, but they’re usually targeted for the face. A couple of examples are the Hana Tsun Nose Straightener, the Eye Slack Haruka, the Rhythm Slim Chin Exerciser, and the Face Slimmer Mouthpiece,.

Korea proves they’re right up there with the Land of the Rising Sun when it comes to weird exercise machines with the Horse Riding Fitness Ace Power. It’s extremely unusual and also oddly inappropriate. You’ll see why in a bit…

As you can glean from its name, the exercise machine aims to let people mimic the action or movements that are associated with horseback riding. Picture people wide-legged and moving up and down while sitting on some odd machine, and, well, you’ll begin to feel uncomfortable yourself.

If words don’t do it for you, then check out the video below to see what I mean… (But you’ve been warned!)

Girls out there can probably relate to the statement “look me in the eyes” when a guy decides to stare at chest level instead of her face. But now, thanks to the power of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, you might even want to clarify exactly which eyes you want guys to look at.

Yep, this bra is done up in to look like TMNT bad boy Raphael, along with his big turtle eyeballs and red non-identity-concealing mask. There’s no doubt if you decide to wear this bra that you’ll be getting stares from your boyfriend or significant other – especially if they’re fans of the classic comic series. And if you dare to wear it as a top, you can be assured that you’ll get all sorts of attention whether you want it or not. Then again, your breasts will now be endowed with mutant ninja powers, so you can defeat any ogling pervs with one quick thwak!

The TMNT bra is available for $35 to $45 (USD) in a variety of sizes from SceeneShoes over on Etsy. And yes, you can choose between Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo or Michaelangelo to cover up your boobs.

A plumbing company got creative with their advertising by deploying these ads of a plumber bending over to do some odd jobs at customers’ homes. It’s hard to put what makes it creative into words, so I’d rather just let you see it instead.

It’s a shirt featuring a gorgeous bombshell at the back, who’s only printed up to her shoulders. So when the dude bends over and shows a bit of butt crack, she gets some awesome butt boobage – in an attempt to make the usually undesirable butt cleavage more desirable.

Here’s another look:

Thankfully, we don’t see the dude’s faces. The URL featured on the shirt no longer exists, so maybe these ads weren’t hugely successful. But it sure was creative, wasn’t it?
