Welcome back to my weekend dive into the wild waters of the wacky and wild. Scouring the internet for products both ridiculous and, very rarely, kooky-cool, this week proves that no idea goes untested. If a disgruntled child can think it, it's likely that someone, somewhere in the world will, or has already made it.
This week's wacky gadget falls squarely between two categories. It is both odd in a "slap an Affliction logo on it and the masses will come a-runnin'" kind of way as well as being a flip of the bird to every parent that ever told you, "
Hey, don't wipe your hands on your ______ (insert preferred clothing option here)."
From our friends in the East comes the weirdly designed Wipe Shirt.
Horrible name aside, this shirt designed by
FIFT has been crafted for one purpose: to give you a couture outlet on which to run wild. Choose a spot, cuff or front tail, and go all crazy with the dirty hand wiping all over your shirt. Pictured up top, this white dress shirt is crafted to give you the perfect spot upon which to snub your nose at those napkin, handkerchief, paper towel, and tissue-users too good to wipe their filthy hands on their nice clean clothes. Have a smudge on your iPod? Use your shirt. Got a little runny booger-juice dribbling from your nose? You guessed it: use your shirt. Well-dressed slobs, 1; Neat-freaks, 0.
Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think. This manners-disregarding garment will run you roughly $150. Personally, I think it's unnecessary and dumb. What say you?
