UFO Cap Makes You Look Like Spin Top, Repels Rain and Women

Maybe there it would work, but here in the USA to put that on your kid instead of a normal umbrella, it's called an invitation to a beating at the bus stop. Also I don't know much about weather in other places, but here it rains and wind blows together so you're going to get soaked in any case. Then when you take it off it's going to look like you peed your pants on an epic scale instead of just being wet all over like a normal person.

@dwight-schrute: Funny, I had just mentioned that to my co-worker.

None of the people in the illustrations were wearing this thing. Shouldn't they all have it on, to show how versatile and happy they are in it? Unlike the very pissed off little girl in the top corner?

@entropyman:
it's not like they're gonna make a watermeloncap to compete with that one...

.....not trying to be a racist, mind you.

And if someone using this while going downhill (er, no pun intended..) on a longboard, it might look like a highspeed giant condom..

okay, so the product is stupid, but why the hell do people have to be racist about it- you wouldn't see the same kind of comments if a black guy made the thing

@Y2KGTP: Man you got that right! This nubrella thing is hilarious! How do people get these things to market? Somebody spent a lot of money to produce this, this monstrous perversion.

Aside from the fact that no one would ever want to be seen in this, I can imagine that the 'transparent' panel would get opaque pretty fast from rain and condensation.

Other than that, I'll take two.

@jawzxy: We do, and that is why this is both ugly and a functional abortion. It's like a hula hoop killed an immortal poncho. There can be only UFOCAP!

in heavy rain, wouldn't this spray water all over your face? add a face shield and I'm sold.

@scarbrtj: LOL! Kudos for that one. Ufocap. :P

Yeah, giant condom like thing. Couldn't care less about protecting from rain... but will it replace contraceptives?

Does it strike anyone as odd that none of the people in the ad that are outdoor are wearing the ufocap? Three have hats and one has a visor.

@dbx: Yeah, but there's a hole for your face, which would not make for a very good prophylactic.

rajivgk — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:00:45 EDT

What would happen if the guy riding a bike was wearing one of those? Either it makes him more aerodynamic (like those downhill racing helmets), will blow him off the bike if he leans back, or make him look like a flying dildo (more likely)...

Munch the BanNail — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:00:10 EDT

Maybe they were going for the frilled lizard look. They can run on water too, so if it's really raining hard, your shoes won't even get wet.

Is there a way for kids to NOT get beaten up or teased because of this product?

...I didn't think so.
