    They cheer the eyes while demanding no loss of functionality in exchange for it.

    I dislike how this apparent online store doesn't lead me to any products when I click the pictures.

    It's not an online store. It's a humorous/satirical site with the goal to entertain the readers with funny or bizarre pictures, videos, jokes, parodies or reports about curosities. They provide the source (be it sites for pictures or authors of jokes) at the end of the articles if it's known, but quite often an article is composed of a mix of pictures found randomly on the webz and/or send in by the readers.

    Yeah, but how do I actually buy this stuff? The shop is broken or something.

    Surely there must be a store where this stuff can be bought?

    That's indeed a cool object. It's too bad that you can't see all the angles of that one.

    My spies have done some research for me. Here ye go.
    You can find them all from this point, but just to have the satisfaction of saying it, yes, it's out of stock.

    Actually, the pencil sharpener is available for $35.

    Heeey, guess what I've got for ya. A one and a two and a three and a four.

    Not true. You, good sir, are talking about this one, which is a pencil sharpener, not the pencil sharpener, as in referring to the article(s).

    Ya know, if only I could read whatever that is, it'd be great.
    And yes. The anime pencil sharpeners did get my attention. :)

    I'm sure most desk workers wish they do that to coworkers.

    If you are very handy with your hands, then it could be possible to make some of those wooden or metal objects yourself.

    Let just hope that kids will not try that on their own cat.

    Little Peter: "Mom!"
    Mother: "Yes dear?"
    Little Peter: "I have put a pencil in the butt of the cat, but it doesn't work."

    The wooden ones don't seem to be that bad, but metal? An average Joe dosn't even have the tools to deal with that, and the better for him, amateur metalworking would be the first step to losing his hands.

    I'm pretty sure the kids will know better than to do that. Instead of a cat, they'll choose one of those girls in kindergarten.

    Would have been better if you'd preceded that with "OBJECTION!".

    I still imagined the music going, though.
