That is very finely dancing the line between freaky and awesome. o.o I can see why people might go for it, though I can't say as I'd want one for myself!

Ha! I love it! Too bad it doesn't appear to be finessed quite yet. The "printouts" appear blocky in the solid black sections.

Er, I think this is an "April Fool"

Oh snap! And here I was thinking how fun that would be. In relation to hilarious April Fool's products, if you're into gaming:

and

The second being a bit more esoteric towards those that played the game.

SHHHHH! Darn it! I love ThinkGeek's April Fool's jokes, they're always the best. I figured this one would pass off perfectly here.

Now, consider this. The 8-bit Tie and the Personal Sound Effects Shirt were both April Fool's jokes at first, but were turned into real products by customer demand... could this be next?

So was the tauntaun sleeping bag.

I want the squeeze bacon more than anything, so I can make BBBLT sandwiches (I've already got the Baconnaise for them).
