# Controversial Cleaning Mitts The Shed Simove 'Martin Loofa King' is Questionable By Michael Hines | Published 2010-08-20 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martin-loofa-king References: [theworldsbestever](http://theworldsbestever.com/2010/08/03/this-really-exists/) & [themerchandisingshop](http://www.themerchandisingshop.co.uk/shop/shopnew/product_detail.php?shopid=248&itemid=4046) The Martin Loofa King has to be one of the most controversial [kitchen accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/so-clean-you-can-kiss-it) ever created. This [loofa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minecraft-diamond-scrub) was designed by Shed Simove and features the face of the iconic civil rights leader along with a new slogan. I am all for [fun and games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lush-x-shaun-the-sheep), but the Martin Loofa King may be going too far. To some, this might be funny but I could also see a lot of people being offended by the product that reads, "I have a clean." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Controversial Kitchen Accessories:** Exploring controversial and provocative designs in kitchen accessories. - **Iconic Figures in Unexpected Places:** Using famous faces in unconventional ways for creative products. - **Humorous and Satirical Home Goods:** Creating funny and controversial items for the home decor market. ### Where This Applies - **Kitchen Accessories:** Exploring disruptive innovations in the kitchen accessories industry. - **Home Decor:** Identifying disruptive opportunities in the home decor market. - **Creative Product Design:** Finding new ways to innovate and push boundaries in product design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Animal-Themed Dusters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spit-shine-llama-duster-mitt.md) - [Eco-Friendly Charcoal Sponges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lufo.md) - [Character-Themed Cleaning Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scrub-daddy-and-disney.md) - [Playful Modular Mops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wet-mop.md) - [Playful Sponge Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sponge-holder1.md) - [Scrubbing Sponge Cleaning Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-cleaning-kits.md) - [Soap-Dispensing Dish Wands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wand-daddy-kit.md) - [Hilarious Backside Grooming Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dude-wipes-2.md) - [Pore-Cleaning Microfiber Cloths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scrub-daddy-microfiber-cloth.md)
