Apr 24 2008Fat Lamp Is Like A Lava Lamp But Not Really
The Fat Lamp (aka the Slow Glow Light) is filled with fat. When you turn it on the bulb inside melts the fat, rendering it more transparent, and the light gets brighter. Each one cost a staggering $774, so you're definitely better off stealing fat from a liposuction clinic (a la Fight Club) and making your own.
this unique lamp is also a great discussion piece and easily lends itself to artistic interpretation. for example, the slow glow lamp is sluggish and fat-representative of our current culture (at least here in the united states). feel free to develop your own interpretation of this thought-provoking light!
Hey, I've got an one: It's a gross freaking lamp filled with fat. It represents some dumb asshole willing to part with $774 for a glass orb filled with my girlfriend's old stomach. That said, I'd buy one if they were cheaper.
One more picture after the jump.

If you need a lamp to use as a discussion topic I think you have some problems.

They stole my idea.....I once pooped on a lamp, then invited some friends over to discuss. I thought it represented the plight of the average invisible American, my friends just thought it stunk and left.

Ahahahahha Jonnie, you cracked me up.
And yeah the idea is cool but the thing itself....not so much....

"the slow glow lamp is sluggish and fat-representative of our current culture (at least here in the united states)."
Short of the people starving to death because of despots and regional warlords the rest of the world must be svelte athletes eating eating a renewable diet of tofu and alfalfa sprouts.

So when you're wrestling inside and you knock it over, I'm guessing you can't just glue it back together and hope mom doesn't notice.

*gags* Wouldn't it go rancid or something...? Oh god, the smell. *more gags* Why couldn't they just used wax or some sort of opague gel?
