[DESIGN WTF] Tiny, Tiny Apartments

So there's this video where a woman lives in a 90-square-foot apartment. 

Let's face it. 

Only an asshole writer or artist would think that paying $700 a month to live in an apartment the size of a handicapped bathroom stall is totally fine.

[DESIGN WTF] CB2's "Mouse Pet"

So you live in New York City, which is the equivalent of paying millions of dollars to live on top of a trash pile. 

You see rats every day scurrying aorund on the subway tracks and you may or may not see a mouse hanging out in your dishrack when you're just trying to eat your breakfast before you go to work. 

So, that's why I don't understand why ANYONE would ever buy this stupid "Mouse Pet" from CB2 ($79.95).

Like, hey guys, if you want to pay me $80, I can give you the real thing.  Call me.

More ridiculous photos after the jump.

[COOKED] Beaba Baby Food Maker

We all have that one friend or coworker that insists that they are SO BUSY. 

"Oh my god, I'm SO busy," they'll say, returning from their 14th coffee run of the day.  They fire up Facebook and GChat as they continue to list off ALL of the things they have to do.

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.  The definition of "multi-tasking" isn't juggling Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr.  But these are usually people in their 20's whose only responsibility is to themselves.

Let's look at the working mother, who has a full time job, a spouse (probably), and a gaggle of dirty, annoying kids to deal with when the day is done.  THAT is what busy is.  Which is why I have no fucking clue why Williams-Sonoma is trying to market this babyfood maker to the "busy mom" set.

[DESIGN WTF] Endangered Species Erasers from West Elm

What better way to show that you care about endangered species then by purchasing rhino/gorilla/polar bear-shaped erasers to put on your desk?

Does anyone else see the irony here that if you actually USED these things as erasers that the animals would also begin to disappear just as their real-life counterparts are?

Of course, if you're just looking to spruce up your desk with some toys (what are you, a pedophile?), that's fine, I guess. 

Me?  I don't use erasers because I DON'T MAKE MISTAKES.

[DESIGN WTF] iPod Roll Holder

Look.

at.

this.

MONSTROSITY.

An iPod toilet paper holder that will make a "quirky gift." I honestly HATE it when people keep a magazine rack in their bathrooms—I don't want to know what you're doing when you're in the bathroom.  I don't want to know that you're leisurely reading a copy of US Weekly while you're sitting on the toilet.  I certainly don't want to know what song your listening to while you're sitting on the can. Oh, right, you love music so much that you couldn't possibly stop listening to it for 2 minutes?  Will you make an "On the Toilet" playlist?  DISGUSTING.
