BadParent: mousetrap light switch

mouse-trap-light-switch

Being as this is a mousetrap, the most painful finger punisher in the world, and would take your fingernail clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I really need to turn the light on? Well, do ya, punk?

Enter doormat

I quite want this. But I’d need an ‘Esc’ doormat for the back door. And probably a ‘Ctrl’ one for the playroom. Because we all know who’s really in charge.

Number Cups

number-cups

Anything that makes counting fun while enjoying a cuppa tea is, at first glance, great. But when you think about it, the only number between 0 and 9 that you’d comfortably want to stick your finger in is 0. You know, like a normal mug handle. Thus rendering the other 9 useless apart from using them for the occassional game of ‘dangerous china cup stacking’.

When dismantled, the pieces of Eric Ku’s Flatpack Chair spell out the word CHAIR. Fun! Just to confirm, it definitely does not spell out the word COMFORT.

Literal Periodic Table

periodic-table

Every school’s science department comes with an obligatory periodic table of elements poster. But why waste good wall space when clearly this literal periodic table and bench (a clever accessory made up of Lanthanoids and Actinoids, actually) – forcing kids to eat, arm wrestle and procrastinate on – would be much more subliminally effective?

Calorific cutlery concept

calorific-fork-concept

Teaching children harsh truths about the world via a fork won’t suit every parent. And if you already feel guilty about chowing down knowing someone in Angola consumes only half of the calories you do – Nadeem Haidary’s Calorific Consumption concept fork does not come recommended.
