I don’t care whether this shades wearing, gut hanging out bear money bank is pulling a bank heist or preventing one—either way the bear has a weapon and is prepared to use it in the name of my money’s safety. That is more effort than even I am willing to exert.

Would a criminal think to look for valuables tucked inside a power strip? No, probably not. However, if you were to leave it in the vicinity of valuable electronics there is a chance it may get swept up in the melee. Since the safe isn’t actually functional as a power strip (plugging it in only lights up the switch), it would probably be more effective tucked away in the drawer or closet where you store extra cords and miscellaneous gadgets. It could also be useful while traveling.

The piggy bank shape of this lamp is very appropriate for its use of energy saving bulbs. The lamp pretty much demands that you use the fluorescent bulb since your average incandescent bulb would just look plain silly. Although, to be honest, it looks more like a giant tooth with some bizarre, curly growth sticking out of it.

Since the Star Wars franchise makes up the holy trinity of overexposure along with Disney and Kiss, it should come as no surprise that there is now a Star Wars gift basket packed with marketables that will wow the young nerd in your life. You will also have the satisfaction of knowing that part of your purchase price will help fund “Angel Flight Northeast” which uses volunteer pilots to fly patients to hospitals free of charge. That should certainly help ease the sting of knowing that you also crammed more dollars into the bank account of the man who gave us Jar Jar Binks.

Let Obama watch over your spare change with this “change we can count” bank. However, with a trillion dollars of proposed spending, don’t be surprised if he decides to let the IRS claim your money in the name of “spreading the wealth around”.
