Queertools

My friend Blaire with an E brought this to my attention and, in his words, it proves that the Japanese are the world's strangest people. If there is an invention that you do not need, the Japanese have invented it and they call it, chindogu or "queer tools." Imagine toilets that sing to you, hairbrushes that vacuum your head, tiny mops for your cat's feet...The invention in the picture to the left is a vending machine costume to prevent crime. Urban camouflage that the wearer can unfold and hide inside in case crime is near. Queer? I'd say so.
