Obscure Object Of Desire
Voodoo Doll Knife Block Fills Your Kitchen With Love. No It Doesn’t.
Enforce a firm “No Complaining” policy in your kitchen with this funny-yet-disturbing knife block. This sad little guy has more holes in him than a sheet of spiral-bound notebook paper, but he definitely gets the message across.
It doesn’t look like the most practical of knife blocks, though. Aside from its not-exactly-warm-and-fuzzy subtext, it takes up a lot of space and doesn’t do a good job of keeping your cats away from your cutlery. The fuzzy little buggers are always rubbing their chins on things and knocking stuff over, and either of those acts would result in disaster here.
It’s too late for this Christmas season, but potential gift-givers should take caution: sending a gift like this to someone you’re on bad terms with may actually be interpreted as a death threat.
If you don’t have cats (or don’t like the cats you have) this edgy accessory is available for 59 Pounds British, from Gizoo.com.
Women don’t need these in their kitchens. They can sheath the knives in their husbands or boyfriends. On the cat issue. If this came with some sort of spring loaded device it would be just the ticket for cat control.
This has been around for years. I saw one on the Avenue des Champs-Elysées in Paris in 2006.
You know, Valentines day is coming up in a little over a month…
For another joke in plastic and metal Google “Sir Perky Novelty Corkscrew”.
