Graffiti Cuckoo Clocks Tell the Time While Looking Crazy

Stefan Strumble takes cuckoo clocks and turns them into cartoony, graffiti-inspired pieces of crazy art. I don’t quite get the “What the fuck is Heimat?” thing on all of them, but apparently it’s a joke about a German word that doesn’t translate to English. OK then! In any case, these are certainly a lot more…

Boneless Belt Separates Your Fat Into Small Segments, Shames You

This horrifying belt separates your fatty stomach into segments because, in Japan, fat people are retarded and lazy and think this will help them lose weight.
