Adam Richardson’s Invaded Space collection features photographs of troops in Afghanistan and Iraq with characters from the classic Space Invaders video game superimposed over the top.

At first glance you might feel it trivialises the war. On second thoughts, however, if there were any more thought processes involved other than ‘hey, let’s do something cliched’ – it was probably more to do with giving it to the man (the ‘game-playing’ government) than making a mockery of the armed forces.

X-Flex Blast Protection System wallpaper was designed by Berry Plastics in partnership with the US Army Corp of Engineers. Apparently, just one layer is enough to beat a wrecking ball while a double layer can stop blunt objects (”i.e. a flying 2×4″) from breaking through. Ideal for army bases, tall buildings under threat from terrorism and playrooms. After all, you can never be too safe.

NOTE: I’m going to hide this from my wife because she will actually make me order some.
