Holy crap is that…BEER! I can’t believe they let us get this close to it! Indeed, even a Heineken seems awesome when magnets are floating it inside a rotating display case with with LEDs.
It looks like Grandpa Clock retired, moved to Vegas and ditched his dusty old clothes for some loud-ass shirts. Some LEDs (arranged to produce a cool tunnel effect on the clock face) and a little steel create a grandfather clock unlike anything you have ever seen before.
As if you needed another sign that society is headed in the wrong direction, take the stupid products people spend their money on. Every year they get stupider and stupider, but we are right there to spend our hard earned dollar. Why? Because poop never stops being funny and it’s hard to resist a “limited edition.” So, without further ado, here is Part I of the epic master list of the stupidest products of 2009.
Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of November 9th-15th, 2009:
Reindeer Toilet Seat Cover And Antlers Set: This is what happens to reindeer that don’t make Santa’s team.
Toilet Sound Blocker: Maintains your dignity.
Santa Pants Wine Bottle Holders: Santa has something in his pants for you.
iPhone Decals: Give your phone a serious downgrade.
Burger Sponge: Rub-a-dub-dub, I’m bathing with burgers in the tub.
Created under the direct supervision of AKIRA creator Katsuhiro Otomo, this Kaneda die-cast bike replica measures 6.3″ H x 19.7″ W and features LED illumination on the front and back wheels, headlights, taillights, blinker, and dashboard. It also includes sound effects, adjustable headlights, a front end that can be raised and lowered and a full, workable suspension. Naturally, a model of this caliber will blow up most budgets. Additional images are available after the break.
It looks like EVE serum hypodermic needles throughout the city of Rapture in the game Bioshock, it glows like the serum thanks to LEDs, and it’s even priced similarly to what you would pay at a Circus of Value vending machine—but I wouldn’t go sticking it into your arm thinking that you are going to get any super powers. Maybe a staph infection, but definitely no super powers.
Now that you have decapitated everyone’s favorite Spider-Man, go ahead and cram some LEDs into his eyes and spin his skull for hours on end. Hey, Spider-Man had a dangerous lifestyle—it was only a matter of time before some kid chopped his head off and used it as a top.

Also available in Mitsubishi, Toyota, Honda, Renault and Hyundai versions.
