How long will BoingBoing keep on showing this capitalism-backed bullshittery when their ‘reporters’ keep on endorsing the (american version of) socialism?

[FGD135]

That’s not “retro”, that’s just ugly.

[TacoChucks]

Are we supposed to find the fake product? I love it when magazines do that, ask you spot the fake ad in publication and win a prize so you end up looking at them all closely.

This one seems obvious though: The straw bracelet.

Not only does it keep dogs from shedding…

Sounds really beneficial.

I think it’s the laser hairbrush which massages. Or is that too obvious?

My vote is for

Suction Powered Wireless Charger

BoingBoing: Look at these late capitalism crapgadgets. Just look at them!
BoingBoing Shop: Buy these late capitalism crapgadgets. Just buy them!

Ooof, yeah. I’d be into a retro-styled bluetooth speaker, but this… The weird little fake turntable on top really makes it look like a cheap plastic toy - which I guess is fair because it is. (69 dollar MSRP aside, it’s going for about 20 elsewhere, which tells you what you need to know. Though I like the useful data sheet included here: “color: wood, material: plastic” indeed.)

This Kickstarter-approved

Real high bar there.

@boingboingshop

robe is made for maximum comfort, with a few extra tweaks to suit the guys. They include extra-deep pockets

Even guys’ robes need pockets Oh come on!

@boingboingshop

The look of this speaker is straight out of the ragtime era

No it isn’t. It really isn’t.

@boingboingshop

wires that can be set to glow consistently or in a pulse to the rhythm of the beat

On the one hand, that sounds really douchey. On the other hand, a real douche would forego the headphones and blast a bluetooth speaker as loud as possible so everyone on the bus can listen to their shitty music.

Bonus points if it looks like what some 90s kid thinks an oldey-timey Victrola looked like

@boingboingshop

It works wirelessly and simultaneously for iPhones, Samsung phones, AirPods and Apple Watches with overcharge protection for each.

It keeps me from buying stupid crap from Hammacher Schlemmer Skymall whatever this is? Sign me up!

@boingboingshop

Made of silicone and stainless steel, this combo item is a stylish way to embrace sustainability. It makes a sturdy straw, then bends into a bracelet when you’re done.

Yeah, go into the saltwater, sand, silt, and mud with that thing on, and then stick it in your mouth.

@boingboingshop

Made of eco-friendly and breathable Shed-Tex material, this cute suit will please both man and his best friend. Not only does it keep dogs from shedding, but the gentle pressure it applies makes skittish pups feel secure.

Will also overheat the dog.

@boingboingshop

Not all sleepers sleep the same - especially when they’re on a long flight. This memory foam pillow lets you configure it into whatever shape suits your neck and head, then coil it up for maximum portability.

I have an old sweatshirt that does that.

MSRP: Free

I keep seeing “BFSAVE15” as “BEAVIS”
