Have I had a lamp up before? Cancel all other bets as the Computer Century lamp is the worst of them all. I haven’t even seen an Italian lamp in worse taste than this Chinese one.
Does it come with a matching hat stand? Of course the full glory of all the tassels can not be properly appreciated until the glad wrap is removed.

I could grow to like this if it had a pink Hello Kitty theme

By the way, it’s not a tv, it’s just a picture with a digital calender on the side.

I like how it handily tells you what century you’re in; just under the day.

It would fit well with the new foreshore developments as a centrepiece for the fake island. With a sign saying, “Welcome to the aesthetics of the 21st century.” Then in 50 years time people will protest in the streets against its removal when the foreshore is returned to its natural state! (Assuming Global Warming hasn’t moved the shoreline halfway up William St.)

This has CopperArt written all over it.
Like those stools that all fit into each other. I mean they’re stools, why would i want 15 progressively smaller stools? They’re like those russian dolls, except pointless and shit.
I’ve only got 2 legs, i dont want multiple stools. Stools are like little chairs with no back.
Pointless.

I’m with Squib on this one, if that isn’t a TV or one of those digital photo display things from the sky mall catalogue, I’m not impressed.

I want this. It’s too hilarious not to be in my possession. I’ll put in the blue 1950’s ranch alongside the Alsatian art. Beaufort St in Inglewood, eh? Which business?

854 Beaufort. Not far from the brothel at 835. Other side of the street.
