Jan 11 2008Octopus Jeans Chair Looks Comfy, Sort Of
The Octopus is a product design from AtelierBLINK, a two-woman creative team out of France. The chair is made out of recycled jeans that can be buttoned together in a number of different forms, to ensure that your living room will look as ridiculous as you want it to. It's filled with polystyrene balls and looks scary, which make it the Octopus Beanbag Chair Of Death. It nonchalantly wraps its Levi 32" tentacles around you until you're immobile, then releases a school of dreaded trouser eels to finish you off.
thanks to Sebastian, who is so freaking cool, for the tip

See, I would have taken this pic and posted it as *EXCLUSIVE* shots from Saw VI, or whatever one we're up to, now.

It would be good for a party of 13-year old boys who want to wrestle something, I suppose. Other than that, it just looks like something you should harpoon.

Don't forget a dog looking for something to hump. Or, for that matter, EIGHT dogs looking for something to hump.

First thought: I could make that for free.
Second thought: why would I want to do a thing like that?

It looks like it's either eating her, or spitting her out.

If they actually wanted this product to be appealing, then they should either find a new photographer, or a new model, because the chick in the picture looks almost terrified that what the Geekologie writer wrote (about trouser eels).

it took a team of 2 women to invent this steaming pile....
this means that after one of them thought it up, the other one said "YES, that is gold, lets sell them on ebay as either a chair or a fill-in "spooner" for those married women whose husbands refuse to wrap themselves in uncomfortable positions which are not going to include a BJ....
