Spotted yesterday in a Fancystore (real store name forgotten)[1], located across the street from the REI Flagship store in the Eastlake neighborhood.
Ok seriously, SERIOUSLY peeps. I actually felt a little insulted by this. I began to wonder if these piglets with their gilded, luminous corked bellies were making fun of me somehow.
I like "design" and all… I’m sure someone thought this was really awesome and ironic and totally hip… Because, I mean, lol, check out my piggy bling! It’s totally lol-riffic because like, I don’t have to use a piggy bank, do you get it?!
To quote pictures for sad children, you might as well punch a poor person in the junk.
Some of my friends would tell me I shouldn’t be so “sensitive” about this, and you know what I’d tell them? I’d say, “Let’s throw”[2] and then we’d take it outside.
[1] It’s Velocity.
[2] I was informed that my natural tendency to ask, “You wanna throw?” is not as direct and formidable as a simple, “Let’s throw”, so I’m trying to get in the habit of using the latter.

Also? The silver one looks like it was made with tin foil. I’m sure someone thinks this is brilliant, but design-wise, well I just don’t think there’s a “design-wise” in this case.
Hahahahah yes. I don’t think there is.
But you did give me the urge to cover stuff in tinfoil. Last night I was trying to think of what in my house could be made more awesome by a coating of tinfoil, but I couldn’t think of anything… hey wait… I don’t even have a classic tinfoil hat. Craft project!
