Actually, I saw them selling these things on QVC and the hyperactive saleschick didn't know what "Heimat" meant either.

That didn't stop the thing selling like hotcakes. A lot of call-ins were saying they loved it so much, they were buying it for their in-laws, kids, parents, neighbors. Next to Wolgang Puck's frozen meat treats, I believe this clock was the #1 seller on QVC during April.

Skull and crossbones? Check! Heart? Check! Reference to angelic wings? Check! Guns? Check! Second set of crossbones just in case? Check! Grenades? Check! Obscure reference to death? Check! Every Cliche used t-shirts at trendy shops? Check! Steak knife in my eye? Check!

This isn't graffiti. This looks more like Punk Detritus. It's like Paul Frank snorted coke and glued some crap together in the middle of the night.

@Kaiser-Machead: And Philippe Starck (oops, sorry, S+ARCK) will make a crystal version of it priced at $600,000.

to me it looks like this guy partied too long with Ed Hardy and then made a clock.

I love all manner of clocks, etc, but this is just a pile of crap glued on a clock and called art. Fail. Big Fugly Fail.

@Curves: Wow, Curves, that's an uncommon FIRST! You're always the studious commenter, one who reads an article, sits, reflects and then writes a thoughtful/witty comment maybe 5-10 submissions in. Will this new speedy behavior LAST*?

*inside joke maybe 5 other Gizmodians will get

@bosskev: I think this speaks more on the horrendous nature of the plastic-y amalgam of chronographical buffoonery, my good sir.

Sure...but I relate more to Curves' description, "pile of crap".

@bosskev: I am glad you think I put a lot of effort into my comments, but in most cases I write the first thing that pops into my head, which just tells you how screwed up I really am. Thankfully, todays tude wont LAST* past the fool moon.

PS- I think the "first" nonsense is totally lacking in creativity. I prefer to be a lot more subtle, and to hide it well enough so that Blam does'nt bust us.
