    The Toaster that Longed to Be a VCR

    While most of our homes resemble some '60s sci-fi TV show, adorned in A/V equipment loaded to the gills with LEDs, our kitchens have remained sadly tasteful. That was, until this Jacob Jensen toaster.

    Resembling a VCR turned on its side, the Jacob Jensen one-slot toaster features LED-backlit buttons that will bring a blue home theater glow to your counter top while serving as a countdown timer during toasting. Plus you get 9 toasting settings, user memory functions and "automatic bread centration," a prospect so well-phrased that we had to plagiarize it from the Appliancist.

    Priced just under $100, I don't know art, but I know a toaster that looks like a VCR when I see one (which, by no surprise, is my very definition of art). [EZStyle via Appliancist]
