Real Griswold Family Builds Station Wagon from National Lampoon’s Vacation

Ugly Models Agency: Because Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder

Ugly Models Agency: Because Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder
It’s about time someone went ahead and created a modeling agency for unusual looking or not-so-very appealing people. In other words, I guess you could consider them physically ugly on some levels.

Atari 400 Keyboard Makes an (Unwelcome) Comeback

RuMe Cuff is a Stupid Wallet for Your Coffee Cup
Sometimes convergence isn’t a good idea. You know those little cardboard things that go around your cup of coffee at Starbucks? They’re actually pretty ingenious if you think about it. I mean, not only do they function as a buffer between the hot cup and your hand, but they can be used as a form of advertisement.

A Smart Car Can Indeed Get Uglier

A Smart Car Can Indeed Get Uglier
Those of you who are really into green stuff may hate me for saying this, but the Smart Car is one of the ugliest vehicles on the road. I mean if I had to choose between the Smart Car and an AMC Pacer, it would be hard to decide.

Computer Keyboard Pants: Neither Fashionable Nor Geeky

Computer Keyboard Pants: Neither Fashionable Nor Geeky
I was considering filing this under ‘Cute or Stupid?’, but my common sense prevailed. Designed (?) by Erik De Nijs, this pair of pants called “Beauty and the Geek” has no ounce of cuteness or any redeeming factor whatsoever.

Boxetti Transformer Home Theater is Pricey, Yet Fugly

Boxetti Transformer Home Theater is Pricey, Yet Fugly
This home theater system transforms from a display case to a full-on entertainment center. That’s cool, but don’t get your hopes up. It’s way too expensive. Plus, it’s way too ugly. This home theater system is by Boxetti and it’s like having a Transformer in your house.

Transformers War for Cybertron Trailer: Let’S Hope There’S More Than Meets the Eye on This One
I actually forgot about this game until I saw this trailer, and now that I’ve seen it I know why I had forgotten about the game. Why do they always have to redesign the look of the Transformers?

Kinesis Advantage Keyboard Looks Weird, Feels Right, Priced Wrong
I’ve never used one of Kinesis‘ keyboards so I can’t say for sure if they’re worth the price, but Cool Tool‘s Dylan Greene swears by the Kinesis Advantage, and so did most of the people who commented on Greene’s post.

Ugliest Speakers Yet: (Evil) Clown Sounds!

Ugliest Speakers Yet: (Evil) Clown Sounds!
We’ve featured some weird and ugly speakers here over the years, but this is definitely the one to buy if you’re looking for something really hideous to listen to your tunes on. I feel like the only thing you should be playing through these awful looking clown speakers is some sort of disturbing, scratchy carnival music that might be playing in the background of one of those circus horror movies.While

Geeky Tattoos: Mostly Bad Ideas

Geeky Tattoos: Mostly Bad Ideas
PC World recently featured 12 geeky tattoos (the article calls them “tech tattoos”, but there are video game related ones as well) , but I think most of them can simply be called “dumb ideas.” Let’s have a look at some of the featured mistakes tattoos: I’m not too disgusted with that USB tattoo, because well, it’s simply lame.

Phone Gun: Deadly Phone or Ugly Gun?
The Italian police have recently recovered a gun disguised as an ugly, outdated, monochrome-screened phone. That’s right: monochrome. James Bond would rather have his testicles torn off, boiled and then fed to him than be caught using this ancient tech.
