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

That’s not “retro”, that’s just ugly.

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.

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

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.)

Real high bar there.

Even guys’ robes need pockets :interrobang: Oh come on!

No it isn’t. It really isn’t.

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 :confused:

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

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

Will also overheat the dog.

I have an old sweatshirt that does that.

MSRP: Free
