Stickers for modifying stop signs
The hippies think they're so clever, defacing Stop signs with messages hectoring us to [Stop] Driving or [Stop] Eating Animals. Hell, as far as they know, we have! Wouldn't you like to stick it to them (literally) with your own set of stickers, covering things you might like your fellow citizens to Stop? Trust us: when these babies catch on, the hippies will be so faced that they will try vandalizing something totally different -- leaving us all the more Stop signs for [Stop] Hammer Time! YEAH!
Sticker set includes:
* Collaborate And Listen
* Defacing Stop Signs
* Drop And Roll
* Hammer Time!
* Is The New Go
* It
* Me If You've Heard This Before
* Stickers
* Walking
* With All The Patchouli

And while you're at it, don't miss the "Ninja Entry" modified version of the mundane "no entry" sign.

Own your very own ElvisBot
Amazon says:
Relive the magic of your favorite Elvis performance with this talking robot from WowWee--a lifelike singing and talking bust of the best-selling solo artist in U.S. history. Designed using motion-captured facial animations and a leather jacket styled from the Elvis Presley '68 Comeback Special, the robot lets you listen to, sing along with, and learn more about the life of the King of Rock and Roll. The robot offers four primary modes: Alive mode, which animates Elvis, tracks movements, and makes the occasional famous Elvis remark; Song mode, in which Elvis sings eight of his best-loved songs; Monologue mode, where Elvis describes his life and times; and Sing Through mode, which lets you sing along with Elvis or turn his vocals down and sing over the top (requires separately sold microphone). The robot is the next-best thing to inviting the King himself into your living room, and offers the added bonus of being physically possible.

Blatant Knock-Off Of The Day
So Apple announced new iPods. I was curious if Amazon already had a listing and searched for "iPod Touch." The answer was "no," but the number one result was the suspiciously familiar looking device you see above. It has the oh so clever name: Touch Screen 2.8" inch LCD MP4 player 2 GB. Video, music, game, recorder, etc. all-in-one
.The product description on Amazon says:
We have conducted a comprehensive test on this unit, and we only sell units of first class quality. The sound and video of this MP4 player is just super. The large LCD screen really can bring video (movie) to your hand. The converter converts MPEG-4 to AVI file for viewing on this player at a speed of 20MB/mins. A movie can be converted in around 10 mins. The touch screen is so easy to use and you don't even need to use any buttons or read the manual. The operation is completely intuitive. The sound quality is supreme. Of course, we also need to mention the downside. The FM radio, like most FM radios on MP4 players, is subject to orientation and can't compete with a dedicated radio. The built-in MIC and recorder provides very clear recording. The most impressive things of this player are: Large LCD screen with good resolution, super sound quality and touch screen control. The player itself is also well built, clearly separate it from other cheap imports.
I don't think I've ever seen a product description that volunteered a downside before.
The R2-D2 Home Theater System
This is the only home theater system available that is modeled after the famous droid from the Star Wars films. R2's head houses a DLP projection system with superior 1,500:1 contrast, and can project movies, TV shows, images, and video games from his radar eye at 1024 x 768 resolution onto walls up to 16 1/2' away, equivalent to an 80" screen; he can also rotate the viewing angle up to 65 to project images onto your ceiling. One of his mechanical arm housings in the front of his body has a DVD/CD player that can play DVDs, audio CDs, and more. R2's anterior louvred vents rotate to reveal a docking station that fits most iPods (including video iPods), so you can play music or videos through his two 20-watt built-in speakers, and an acces s panel adjacent to the docking station conceals slots for memory cards and a USB port, allowing you to project digital pictures anywhere in your house. His rear logic display has an LED message center that alternates between R2s current function and random light patterns, and a terminal panel in the the rear has all audio and visual connections for connecting headphones, external speakers, video game systems, TVs, and more. R2's sensors keep him from falling off tables or down stairs while he moves forward, backward, left, right, and pivots; a mounted model of the Millennium Falcon conceals a remote that provides complete control of all R2's functions.

Support Barack Obama With ... Obama Yarmulkes?
We are volunteers with Senator Barack Obama's “Faith-Action-Change NYC” group and we've created "Obama '08" yarmulkes (Jewish skullcaps, also called kippot).
The yarmulkes are professionally made of ivory white suede, with “Obama ‘08” printed in blue, and the campaign's logo directly above the text.
[snip]
We are offering the yarmulkes for a suggested donation of $5 each -- plus a flat $5 per order to pay for shipping (the cost of priority mail). This will cover the costs of our custom order. If you order 15 or more yarmulkes (orders of $75 or more), we will provide free shipping.
There's no sample yet, but the yarmulkes apparently look like a cross between these two images:

The piece uses pigmented inks on an archival-quality canvas and is varnished for protection. A kit is provided to collect a thumbprint sample and includes a return envelope. Framed in your choice of light or dark wood.
Buy. The other new items at the MOMA Store were really dull.
