Seriously Bad-Taste Merchandise

Not merchandise, but the new catering company managing the canteen at my place of work, has just revealed their menu for the next month.

On one day, they'll be doing an Americana/Rock n'Roll themed lunch, with a highlight being the Eddie Cochran burger.
Given how Cochran exited this mortal coil, I'm not sure naming a burger after him is the most suitable.

They've yet to answer whether we're getting a Mama Cass ham sandwich...
 
Saw this advertised on Facebook.
American of course.

LEGO/some similar toy company assault rifle? .. I can imagine that's something a hobbyist has made. I'd be surprised if that's been mass produced?. Who knows anymore.

Yup, it's a mass produced 3-D jigsaw. To be fair they also do non weaponry-themed items but this is the one that had me shaking my head.
 
While opening a Youtube video on the report of the shocking events in Southport, I was treated to an advert for Japan’s sharpest kitchen knives.
Now I’m not sure whether the algorithm is dumb, greedy or just plain evil.
You get adverts on YouTube?
 
The Garbage Pail Kids seem pretty tepid to me. When I was at school in Berkshire in the early Sixties the collectables we all wanted were the American Civil War cards by Topps:

Badass! Even these days I think kids would think these are cool.

Would a knife shaped puzzle fit the British pallet better? :evillaugh: (banter! Harmless banter!)

Anyways, on a road trip, I recently saw one of those fortune telling vending machine puppets, like the one you see in that Tom Hanks movie "Big", but it had been modified so that the the figure inside was Donald Trump and for some reason it spoke exclusively in Bible quotes. Very strange! Wish I had taken a picture. I'm not sure what to make of it besides being supremely tacky.
 
This is a great idea. I’d like to see one based on the Egyptian Book of the Dead where your coin goes on a scale weighed against a feather and tells you your ultimate fate.


But it should do pinball too.
 
There isn't a British cultural obsession around knives.
A teapot, now that'd make a GREAT 3-D jigsaw.
Oi, you got your banter license, miss?
But anyways, a 3-d jigsaw of a teapot would be a great idea if not for the fact that with a pile of clay, a teapot is *already* a 3-d jigsaw. A muddy, dirty jigsaw!
Ironically, despite having no taste for tea whatsoever, I've actually made quite a few tea pots in my time. Hell, clay from the rainy ol blighty might be the best in the world, at least in my amateur potter opinion. It's got a certain creamy smoothness that Chinese and Japanese clay have never really given me. Now I want to ramble about clay.

Ah well, that's that Idea up-the-spout then! :)
