A genuine Vespa scooter transformed into a playful rocker by an Italian grandfather for his grandson, Diego. Vespa should seriously consider marketing these things – I’d buy one immediately.

UPDATE: Could this be the greatest ‘Mod’ of all time? Sorry.

What’s most disturbing here (and this might surprise you) is not actually the dead white cat with its guts hanging out… it’s the little boy’s gleeful little face on the packaging. That aside, and despite Geekologie’s ‘it teaches kids about life and death’ reasoning, you’ve got to be pretty sick to want one. But I still want one.

There’s a fantastic scene in Withnail And I where the oft-(mis)quoted Danny informs Withnail and Marwood about his latest invention: a children’s doll which “shits itself.” A toy which, on paper at least, is on a par with the Spanish Bebe Gloton ‘breastfeeding’ doll.

A child (girl, probably) puts on the supplied vest and assumes the position. Cue suckling noises, robotic doll lip movements, that familiar cry for wind relief and all those other kinds of wrong, which… er, hang on. It’s actually all rather cute. A sweet, discreet way of promoting breastfeeding.

You can watch the demostración video and decide for yourself.
