I just don't know what to say....

FYI, could be not safe for work, but in an "art form" kind of way...

E-bay auction for a rotary phone that has been, well... altered I guess.  ???

Oh... and don't forget to watch the video!!


LOL... I was just reading the end of the auction and saw this:

"Questions welcome. I will try to answer everything I can besides the obvious one--"WTH?"."   :D

It's not even good art. It's just a ruined dummy, and phone parts.

Ooooo, just the thing for mom for Christmas this year!

Well it gets full marks for creative.  However, it's uh, well, uh, kinda weird.

If you want to see some cool (if pricey) art made from old parts (although I didn't notice any obvious phone parts), check out Bennett Robot Works:

I have to say, that is the creepiest "phone" I can imagine.

Yet another example of somebody with way too much free time and bad taste.  Reminds me of the line in Full Metal Jacket (or was it Platoon?)- "Why, you're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece!"
The idea that a four-year degree is the only path to worthwhile knowledge is insane.

Okay, he's selling a hermaphrodite folk art phone, also lockpicking manuals and cookbooks. Can we say "grounds for a search warrant", or "has anyone seen Mom lately?"  :D
