Unusual Wedding Bands - Contorted Rings (GALLERY)

Designer David McCaul conceived these contortionist-worthy, unusual weddings rings for brides-to-be. The rollercoaster-shaped rings certainly make beautiful as pieces of art but I cannot imagine how they would look on a woman's finger. Maybe they are double finger rings? However they're meant to be worn, I am pretty sure there are plenty of adventurous females who will absolutely appreciate a design as unusual yet glamorous as these curvy rings. Check out some more odd weddings trends: To… [More]

Coloured Animals - The Green Puppy

No, this little puppy wasn’t born in a highlighter factory. In fact, there’s nothing wrong with him physically, he’s just unique in that he’s, well, green. If I were the owner, I’d take full advantage and pitch him to ad agencies. Imagine, the world’s first green puppy would be the ult…[More]

Walk of No Shame - AMP Energy (VIDEO)

Have you ever woken after a hard night of partying and had the worst part not be your pounding head, but the disgrace and confusion as to where you ended up, or who you were with? The walk home for those awkward occasions has often been referred to as the Walk of Shame, but this video ad wants to re…[More]

Lunar Real Estate - Can Corporations Claim Lunar Property?

Recent discussions of property rights n the moon has pointed out an interesting point - that the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 makes it legal for corporations to claim lunar property. Companies could therefore stick their proverbial flag in the moon dust to mark it as their own. Talk about an incre…[More]

Mutated Humans as Art - Lucy and Bart (GALLERY)

People, get ready for the future! Lucy and Bart is a collaboration between brilliant artists Lucy McRae and Bart Hess which they describe as an instinctual stalking of fashion, architecture, performance and the body. They both share a fascination with genetic manipulation and expressions of beauty…[More]

Giant Dutch Street Art - Henk Hoftra's Art Eggcident (GALLERY)

The fake giant river painted on Dutch streets a few months ago must have been a hit, because now another giant street mural has been created in the Netherlands, this time featuring images of giant fried eggs. The Art Aggcident will be on display in a giant urban square for the next six months in L…[More]

Mechanical Bugs - Art by Mike Libby (GALLERY)

What do you get when you put together a bug and an old watch? Don't know? Mike Libby solved this riddle by creating works of art from a combination of the two. It happened when the discovery of a dead beetle left him wondering how it would look if it were mechanical inside. Out came an old watch a…[More]

Hygienic Shockvertising II - Carre Fresh: Wipe Whatever You've Touched (GALLERY)

My favorite TrendHunter, Lourdes recently shared a truly disgusting and troubling (for anyone with insect phobia) campaign with us that illustrated the importance of hand sanitizers through the use of insects. These new print ads for Carre Fresh follow a similarly disgusting, but less creepy formula…[More]

Return of the Cone Boobs - Girls Aloud Get Galactic Glam (VIDEO)

Remember when Madonna brought back retro cone boobs, making the pointy bra style hot again? Well now thanks to Girls Aloud, it's back, and this time with a galactic blast! The UK girlband showed off this look when they kicked off their Tangled Up tour in Belfast this week. "All credit goes to Ju…[More]

Teach Fish Tricks - R2 Fish School (VIDEO)

I am a great believer in education, but sometimes I question whether it is necessary to teach skills to creatures other than humans. Dogs are trained to find drugs or chase criminals, so I guess that's fine, but goldfish? Now, thats a stretch.... The R2 Fishschool provides a training kit that is fa…[More]

Free Range Humans - Disturbing Pro-Vegan Ads

Here is a marketing idea I hope NEVER becomes a popular trend. If there ever was a picture worth a thousand words, this could be it. I was mortified when I saw it, and for the record, I'm not a vegetarian. The "Free Range Whole Human" was packaged in plastic wrap, in the posture of a Thanksgiving…[More]

Ballet Meets Kung Fu Stop Motion - Omadaka Kyoteizinc Techno Dance (VIDEO)

Omadaka has created a new video for the chiptune disco track “Kyoteizinc,” featuring the computer tweaked dance moves of Masako Yasumoto. The Omodaka creative project adopts a process which they describe as “trial and error process of mutational fusion of music and motion graphics". The so…[More]

Wildlife Hairstylists - Animal Toupees

We've featured baby toupees because no one wants to be bald. We've also seen hairpieces for cats, wigs for dogs, and now there are animal toupees. Contrary to human hair trends, a dog should never be teased for sporting a mullet, a bowl cut, or even a flock of seagulls. This trend is: not functi…[More]

Animated iPod DJs - FUNkit

I have seen a lot of weird iPod speakers. Some can be taken underwater, some look like eggs, but this one certainly takes the cake. The FUNkit DJ Animated iPod Speaker System is a robot which is programmed to twist, turn and even scratch the dummy turntables to the music, always keeping up with the…[More]

90s Disco Puppets - Drench Ads (VIDEO)

If you're a sucker for 90s dance music, here's an ad for you. This video, featuring a disco-dancing, nerd glasses-wearing puppet in a powder blue suit, is actually an ad for Drench Spring Water. The Puppet Brains video from the Thunderbirds is backed by the catchy 90s dance hit, "Rhythm is a Dance…[More]

Musical Sinks - The X-Light Surround

A musical washbasin is not such a bad idea... unless you wake up with a hangover from hell and are prone to agitation due to any type of noise. Other than that, the X-Light Surround basin, devised by Italian fixture makers WET and designed by Jan Puylaert, is pretty cool. The musical sink will reg…[More]

Cigarette Earrings - Butt Ugly Accessories

These unusual looking duds can be found for sale at www.etsy.com, with a host of other handmade crafts in their online market. Of course they look ridiculous, but they do serve as a symbol of the potential ugly heath risks of smoking. They will probably never be a big hit in the fashion world, …[More]

$170 Junkfood - Burger King Kobe Beefburger

Fast food is generally also cheap food, that's what gave chains like McDonalds their appeal... so why would Burger King deviate from that by launching a $166 cheeseburger? Specifically, the £85 Kobe beefburger. Maybe offering a slab of fancy shmancy Japanese luxury beef topped with foie gras and …[More]

Weird Inventions - Bruce Brodie's Creations From The Attic (GALLERY)

Finding the notes of an artist who likes to "think up crazy stuff" would always be exciting, but when the notes come with detailed building instructions, things can get a little bit crazy! Some of the artist Bruce Brodie's crazy inventions include an indoor sundial, wedge-proof underwear, an anti-s…[More]

Lavatories for Lushes - Combo Urinals & Vomit Receptacles

Spotted at the Golden Times bar in Guangzhou, China is this fabulous new innovation in nightclub urinals. This hip combo-unit allows patrons to throw up at the same time as they take a leak, thus a return to the bar.[More]

Designer Weapons - The Revolution Will Be Fabulous Exhibit (GALLERY)

The "Chemical Warfare Fashion" featured on Trend Hunter a few days ago showed us how to look fabulously hip in case of a massive chemical attack. This collection of "designer" weapons may have been conceived along the same lines. Designed by Peter Gronquist, the collection The Revolution will be F…[More]

Avian Aquariums - Fish Bird Tanks

As far as traditional pets are concerned, fish aquariums have become mainstream, as have bird cages. But how about somewhat enclosed fish cage inside an aquarium? The picture seems somewhat odd, and I hope the animals adapted well to the situation, but if it works out without any harm to them, it …[More]

Starring in Strangers' Photos - PhotoBombing (GALLERY)

Have you ever been surprised to see a stranger appear to pose like he's part of your photos? It's no accident. In fact, there's actually a term for what he's doing. He is PhotoBombing. The term refers to people who intentionally jump into the scene of a photo to land themselves a spot in your phot…[More]

Red Neck Burials - Beer Can Coffin

The Beer Can Coffin is the ultimate way to honor a thorough-bred red neck. If if you know someone proud of their hickish ways, you know they wouldn't get fulfillment from a traditional burial in the afterlife anyway. This coffin was designed for Bill Bramanti of Illinois who happens to be a major …[More]

Alien Furniture - The Chankley Bore By Marteen Baas (GALLERY)

We always had a sense that extraterrestrial life existed. We knew aliens live among us. But what we also always knew is that they are made by man. Just one look at this collection of furniture designed by dutch artist Marteen Baas will leave everyone in agreement. The collection named 'The Chankley…[More]

Teens on Big Brother - Corey Worthington on BB Australia

Corey Worthington is set to further his celebrity status by joining the Australian Big Brother series of 2008. Not a stranger of controversy, the teen first made world headlines when he threw an out of control party which ended in police chaos and international media coverage. Entering the BB hous…[More]

Naughty Desserts - Breast-Shaped Puddings (GALLERY)

These naughty breast puddings are sold in Japanese markets and department stores. According to Inventorspot, they have second hand knowledge that the boob puddings taste somewhat milky, sweet and have a vaguely slimy taste to them. As soon as I saw this, images of the American Pie movie came to mi…[More]

Playgrounds from Hell - Slavic Nighmare Parks (GALLERY)

Playgrounds are made for kids to have fun and enjoy their years of innocence. That's the general thought in most parts of the world, but in some Soviet countries, playgrounds house evil-looking, nightmarish statues that illustrated the elements of Slavic fairy tales. The demon-like playground equi…[More]

$2,000 Dinner Bells - Wood & Glass Campane di Campana

Pavlov's pooch knew that the sound of a bell meant food was about the be served, and now for $1,900, you can alert your family the same way with this twig that has an attached bell. "The brothers Campana (the Italian word for 'bell') have teamed up with Venini to create a series of limited-edition…[More]

Stupid Viral People Tricks - Dude Backflips Into Pants (VIDEO)

What is people's fascination with watching other people do stupid things? This video shows guys trying to jump and land in their pants, specifically, they're trying to do back flips and then land with their legs in holes. It's ridiculous, but for whatever reason, people are fascinated by it, and as …[More]
