At first glance, the idea of a cardboard TV may be a little silly, but I bet a kid with a good imagination is watching far better programming on this than adults who dropped $2,000 on an HDTV and only have the option of reality shows or 24 hr. news networks. Plus the kid assembled his TV by himself, and doesn’t have to watch commercials. An additional shark design is pictured after the break.

How do you know when a nerd’s heart is pure? When you get a greeting card with a personalized message in digital font. A nerd can’t lie in LCD, it would be a betrayal of everything they love.

Using this timber kit, you can construct your very own kissing couple. Once complete, you can even control their make-out session with the hand crank (you sick bastard). Unfortunately, this couple is rather shy about being observed, as you can plainly see from their expressions in the picture after the break.
If you’re driving a car that is clearly a P.O.S. and want to take that fact and multiply it by, oh, say 1,000, you may want to consider investing in an art car kit. You can choose from kits made up of toy trucks and cars, flatware, bronzed baby shoes and banjos to name a few. However, among other things, purchasing one of these kits requires you to pay a deposit and enter into a contract to ensure that the kits are actually used on a car and not sold on eBay, which I’m sure pisses off the people who decorate T.G.I. Friday’s. Complete details are available on the product page.

If you’ve traded in your dream of owning a stock car, a Ferrari Formula F1, or a Dragster for the comfort and affordability of a station wagon, there’s only one thing to do… make station wagons look cool. Throw out all of your old car models and start from scratch with this limited edition DIY station wagon, making it the cornerstone of a whole new collection. Once you have a few on display, brag about them when your buddies come over. You could say things like: “Yeah, that one there is a 1989 Ford Country Squire with the imitation wood paneling. Ya know they had 5.0 Liter V8s? Yup, those puppies could haul a whole lotta kids. Now come check out my 1948 Woodie.”

The 33 piece Valiant Viking Ship Solar Kit may teach kids about clean, alternative energy sources as it powers its way through the water—but it practically rapes the history books with regard to the design of actual Viking ships.

This confusingly creative vinyl contraption is the work of artist Erick Scarecrow. As a child he dreamed of creating his own arcade games without the “gray hairs of a big budget.” His solution was to develop a vinyl toy that users can decorate any way they please using paint, markers, pencils, etc (Soopa stickers are also included to help you customize your cabinet). Essentially it is one of those “use your imagination toys.” Listen, I play real video games so I don’t have to think ok?
Soopa is also running a VIP access program that involves gold coins hidden in the first run of select vinyl cabinets. So if you are lucky enough to find one, you have the exclusive right to buy more crap from them. Yaaaaay!

Some cats are just not content to sit inside all day, lounging around doing nothing. Nope—those types of cats crave action and adventure. If that sounds like your feline friend, one of these cardboard cat playhouses is a must have. The playhouses come unfolded, so if you are the kind of person that is content to lounge around doing nothing all day, just keep in mind that some manual labor is involved. Available in fighter plane, tank and fire engine versions.
They say than men think about stuffing beavers every few minutes. The good news is that you can satisfy your cravings quickly and easily with this Beaver Stuffing Kit. Just squeeze a bunch of white stuffing into the beaver and it will be fat and fluffy before you know it. Keep it for yourself, give it as a gift, or show off that stuffed beaver to your friends and proudly proclaim “I did this. I stuffed this beaver up good.” An image of the final product is available after the break.
The product page claims that Sculpta Sutra as a “fun, hands-on way for partners to learn more about adventurous love making.” I don’t know about you, but when I hear the words “hands on” in regards to sex, I’m definitely not thinking about Play-Doh (except when I’m really drunk).
The kit comes with everything you need to make two posable lovers—including a book featuring 36 classics and 8 “extra flexible” positions.
