BadParent: Stationery Of Horror

Stationery Of Horror
is Jacques Pense’s “bloodthirsty corporate design for Germany’s most famous crime and horror channel”, 13th Street. It’s also the ultimate inappropriate back-to-school gift for ‘colourful’ young minds.

Decowpitation

There’s a post on Kottke.org today titled The SiM&Mpsons which links back to (and has reminded of) Brock Davis’s ‘Make Something Cool Every Day [in] 2009′ lifework. This entry from 20th February, Decowpitation, is a personal favourite thanks to the child-like milk-for-blood philosophy (and my own penchant for inappropriate toys, probably), but there are many more gems to discover.

BadParent: dismembered Barbie doll body parts as jewellery

barbie-brooch

Created by artist Margaux Lange who evidently takes enormous pleasure (and a living) from cutting up Barbie and her boyfriend Ken to make necklaces, brooches and bracelets for very, very sick individuals. This one looks a bit like my old Ski Ken (sob)…

BadParent: Creepy baby hand soap

baby-hand-soap

The whole concept of a bar of soap in the shape of a decapitated baby hand is, quite simply, wrong. Available on Etsy for $18, they’re made from “natural vegetable glycerin”, have a “very very light scent” and are “completely handmade, so each set is slightly different with different hand-shapes & skin-ish colors.” Judging by the fingers of the darkest hand on the second row of the picture below, that ’slightly different’ claim is somewhat of an understatement.
