Aug 27 2007Table Makes You Kill Dining Partner
I have enough trouble eating as it is, so why designers Stefano Merlo and Claudia Taddia would want to make it harder is a mystery to me. They have designed a table (now to be known as the table that made me kill my wife) that has each setting (glass, fork, knife, etc) tethered to its match on the opposite side of the table. So if you're using your knife, your dining partner cannot. This is absolutely brilliant. I can see it now. "Honey, I swear to god you better put down that knife right now so I can stab you."
A couple more of the world's worst table after the jump.

who needs dishwasher, that table is so cheap, you can just throw it away and buy another one when you need some heated debate with your partner.

Hey, Mr. Geeko, stop publishing this kind of crap.
We like OTHER kind of crap. You should know, "geekish" kind of crap.
This table thing is simply moronic.
I understand that you feel attracted to moronic issues, for reasons too obvious to explain, but posting them here only increases my level of disgust with respect to your persona.
Goodbye and have a nice death.

This makes absolutely no sense. Maybe some mimes can use it for their street performance. It's this kind of useless crap that makes people hate art and that's sad.

wow. looking at this thing hurts my brain. it seems so masochistic. i guess it is like that invention i read about recently that somehow forces you to eat slower so you lose weight. i think it involves a pair of tweezers and some very tiny razor blades.

THIS THING IS ACTUALLY PRETTY F***ING AWESOME, AND IT MAKES ME LIKE ART EVEN MORE

I imagine that this idea probably came about when some prankster got stuck inviting a couple of morons to dinner. Come on, it would be very entertaining to watch people whom you hate struggling to eat their food tug-of-war style. Especially if they were small annoying children.
