WTF

Heard of SNURK?  They're a firm from Amsterdam and they have designed a soft cotton, high quality duvet cover with photographs of cardboard boxes on it, it's called Le Clochard (French for bum/begger).  Why?  To remind us all of the plight of the homeless!  That's the line they're taking.  There is something that doesn't sit quite right with me thinking that I should take a moment to consider the plight of the homeless (freezing through winter nights) whilst sitting amongst all the privileges of life and snuggling under a high quality duvet which looks like (but is far from) a cardboard box.  What?  After a bit of digging on the net, it turns out there has been some controversy surrounding this design.  What do you think? 



Ok, this is a creepy WTF!  It has a name - forniphilia ("a form of bondage and sexual objectification in which a person's body is incorporated into a chair, table, cabinet or other piece of furniture").  British sculptor Allen Jones is the artist.  All of this craziness and objectification went down in the 70s and suffice to say that Mr Jones is not very popular amongst the feminists.   I don't really know whether to laugh or get angry.  What do you think?
