  • Custom 'Up' House And WALL-E Engagement Ring Boxes
    May 14, 2013
    This is the custom engagement ring box made by TheModelMaker to look like the house from Pixar's 'Up'. It's the perfect engagement ring box to say, "If you die on me, I will become a crotchety old man." Reminds me of the time I asked a girlfriend to marry me with a Monsters, ... / Continue →
  • Microsoft Holodesk 3-D Interactive Display
    October 21, 2011
    This is a video of Microsoft's interactive Holodesk 3-D See-Through Display. Using it, you can manipulate virtual objects with your hands. Unfortunately, you can't actually "feel" the objects, making this 3-D rendering of a titty I just spent the last 30 minutes making in Aut... / Continue →
  • Packing Tape, You're Our Only Hope: Guy Builds Gigantic Cardboard R2-D2
    July 14, 2011
    Make up your f***ing mind -- is this or is this not the droid you're looking for?! Starwars superfan Len Komanak went and built himself a giant cardboard R2-D2 out of a whole bunch of large appliance boxes (where'd you get those -- I'm always looking for those things!). Hey, ... / Continue →
  • ADT Scares Apartment Renters With Pop-Up Package In Attempt To Sell Security Systems
    October 4, 2010
    ADT recently ran a marketing campaign in Chile in which they slid pop-up boxes under people's apartment doors to make them think somebody was in their place while they were gone. Scare tactics -- I like it! When not held flat, the boxes pop open to a cube, allowing them to be... / Continue →
  • You're Doing It Wrong: Crazy Fork Lift Accident
    November 2, 2009
    I got to operate a fork lift once, and let me tell you: I've never seen Lowe's employees run so fast. WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED PAINT MIXED?! Anyway, this is a horrible fork lift accident that destroys nearly $250K of precious vodka in distribution center. Oh the humanity... / Continue →
  • I Would Hit That Like Vending Machine With A Stuck Bag Of Chips: XBox Controller Bento
    August 26, 2009
    This is a bento box made by Laura Bento (that would be like me being named Charles Blog!) for her husband's lunch. It looks pretty delicious. And I'm not just saying that because the only thing I've had to eat was a stale biscuit for lunch yesterday, but I am starting to see ... / Continue →
  • Screw Mother Nature: HP Shipping Fail
    August 19, 2009
    Not to be outdone by Dell's L337 shipping practices, HP decided to ramp up their efforts to show that THEY hate this planet even more. What's in the box? Hit the jump to find out. And no, it's not a tiger. But good guess. Hit it. DO IT NOW!... / Continue →
  • Questionable Women's Razor Commercial
    March 29, 2009
    This is a questionable commercial for the Shick Quattro For Women TrimStyle with Bikini Trimmer. I'm outraged it was allowed to air because my six-year old just asked me about "those transforming bushes". You know what I told him? Decepticons. Youtube Thanks to "Captain ... / Continue →
  • Wait, Where'd He Go?: Urban Camoflauge
    March 5, 2009
    There's a robot war to be fought, and regular camo simply won't do. Enter Urban Camouflage, a new kind of outwear that keeps you safe and hidden from a robot's lifeless stare. Urban camouflage comes in three different styles: boxes, bags, and, um, file folders or something. ... / Continue →
  • 'Invisible' Treehouse Hotel Is Hard To Find
    February 11, 2009
    Let's face it, we all want to live in treehouses. Unfortunately, I purchased all the remaining trees on earth, so it looks like you suckers are out of luck. Hey, there's always telephone poles. Also, I will be selling acorns for $1,000 a pop. Anyway, this is a treehouse hot... / Continue →
