Apr 27 2009I Want Out: Electrocuting Rubber Duckie
Looking for a way out but second guessing your decision to dive into a volcano? Enter the Electric Bath Duck, a suicide assistance device that allegedly works better than a toaster. Thankfully, it's fake. But listen -- I don't want any of you killing yourselves anyways, you hear me? Because then who would read the words I write? Nobody, that's who. My family doesn't even read my diary anymore and I leave it open on the coffee table. So if you are having suicidal thoughts, seek help. And remember folks, I'm here for you. God may have spited me downstairs, but I do have big ears.
Hit the jump for a shot of the back.
Rubber Ducky Suicide - Don't Do It [greendaily]
Thanks to Matt, who once slipped in the bathtub and almost impaled himself on a bottle of conditioner.

Well, at least it says "Please make sure you have made the right decision." And it's shaped like a duckie! What's not to like?
Must suck to be the quality control guy for these. Heh.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max hacked into a govwernment computer looking for games and almost started WW3.

where'd they get the CE certification
20. Anthony - April 27, 2009 1:57 PM
Why on earth would it have a grounding pin.?
21. jumpin_j - April 27, 2009 1:57 PM
Cute FAIL - I think?
22. Gabe to the Power of Pew! - April 27, 2009 2:03 PM
But is it dishwasher safe??
23. Cristianbam - April 27, 2009 2:14 PM
first!
24. atheistgirl - April 27, 2009 2:18 PM
@19 It's very easy to get a CE mark. You just say "Yeah, that's safe" and put it on yourself. No one checks.
@20 Of course it has a earth/grounding pin! All UK plugs do. So then it's safe.

ALL I WANTED WAS A PEPSI! JUST ONE PEPSI! AND YOU WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME! I WENT TO YOUR SCHOOLS, I WENT TO YOUR INSTITUTIONS! I'M NOT CRAZY! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S CRAZY! YOUR MAKING ME CRAZY! INSTITUTIONALIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't look at me man, give Mike his damned Pepsi...
26. STINK - April 27, 2009 3:23 PM
I dunno, I would have made the ducky look a little more like a Grim Reaper Ducky, but that's why you don't see me selling stuff at Hot Topic.
27. Ninjaman - April 27, 2009 3:58 PM
it could have read "Duck your life!!1!" instead
28. Watch - April 27, 2009 3:59 PM
why is everyone stealing my name?
29. Watch - April 27, 2009 4:00 PM
why is everyone stealing my name? this duck is horrible!!!
30. Tom - April 27, 2009 4:46 PM
@20 In the uk all plugs have an earthing pin even if it's just made of plastic and does nothing.
It's not actually fake, it's really for sale ... Though the plug on it is fake ... I know ... False advertisement eh?!?!?
31. batman - April 27, 2009 4:58 PM
Yeah I think they have the EU plug so than you really have to think about it. The first time you go to complete and go oh crap I need a converter so you actually have to stop go get converter and than go for it. If you went through that much trouble, you really wanted to complete the mission.
Now I can close my case on what happend to Ernie.
32. DarkclawMunky - April 27, 2009 7:42 PM
