- whojaybe, on 11/12/2007, -3/+46LOL! the only one that was reasonable was the tie, actually. but damn, that would put a strain on your neck!
- quomen, on 11/12/2007, -2/+28I love how they are modelling the products so seriously.
- senorcool, on 11/12/2007, -2/+23I kind of wish that I could buy these inventions and use them for random occasions.
- InuX, on 11/12/2007, -4/+21I found these 3 useful:
a hands-free umbrella : If holding an umbrella is too demanding, why not wear it like a hat?
cockroach swatter slippers : Useful for people who are afraid to kill something only inches away. Useful for my mom to kill spiders ect.
10-in-1 gardening tool : useful ONLY if your Macgyver. - djjuice, on 11/13/2007, -2/+16fake, but funny
- Namaha, on 11/12/2007, -7/+21The only semi-practical one that didn't look completely ridiculous was the umbrella.
- Elec, on 11/12/2007, -0/+13Another "lol Japan is wacky" article, which grow increasingly tiresome.
Anyway, these are fake, but not really: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chindogu - BD86, on 11/13/2007, -2/+15360 camera FTW. The way you have to see the picture kindof sucks though.
- wetmetalthong, on 11/13/2007, -0/+10"7 weired/strange Japanese inventions, ever created!"
Was this posted by a Japanese person? Babel fish failed you. - inactive, on 11/12/2007, -4/+14I lived in Japan for a while, it's just as insane as you would think.
- numberneal, on 11/12/2007, -2/+12there go the japanese making everything already invented better. japanese products are the original upgrades.
- dsully215, on 11/12/2007, -2/+11"You're in a restaurant. You got a very big meeting coming up. Oh man! You got mustard on your tie! You just tear it off and you got a new one right here. Then, you're gone!"
Almost as good - xtc46, on 11/13/2007, -0/+8if you could see them, then they failed.
- kingvik, on 11/12/2007, -0/+7But why does it have a handle?
- godmode, on 11/12/2007, -1/+7The tie one i would use!
The swiss knife farmer is shopped for sure. - Tanouki, on 11/12/2007, -0/+6Lol @ the 10-in-1 gardening tool.
But I could definitely use one of those portable office ties. - kclyons, on 11/12/2007, -0/+5Wow that garden tool looks a bit unwieldy,
- punchingjudy, on 11/13/2007, -1/+6These photos are old as crap; I remember reading about them in 3-2-1 Contact for Christ's sake--16 freaking years ago. And yet this is front page Digg.
- imelstevo, on 11/12/2007, -0/+4o good point man
- kedohmen, on 11/12/2007, -1/+4"Hey Joe, how'd you cut your hand?"
"Well, I tried to tie my Portable Office Tie with the scissors still in them." - Twenty5, on 11/12/2007, -0/+3this article has been up on Digg many times already........
- Kikkomann, on 11/12/2007, -4/+7Japan - Producing the World's Weirdest *****(s). Since 1952.
- morpheus69, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3When are diggers going to learn to stop digging outdated articles that are just compilations of stolen copyrighted pictures posted without any citation?
- jayb1rd, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3These inventions were all in a book that I recieved for Christmas when I was about 10 years old. It was called "101 Unuseless Japanese Inventions: The Art of Chindogu".
http://www.amazon.com/101-Unuseless-Japanese-Inven ...
from Amazon: "Kawakami, founder of the International Chindogu Society, outlines the basic ten tenets of chindogu; among them: they cannot be for real use; they must exist; and they are without prejudice." - inactive, on 11/12/2007, -0/+2What's next? A gardening tool on a keychain?
- whatthefu, on 11/12/2007, -1/+3Why does the hands-free umbrella have a handle?
- shazzb0t, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2Seriously, buried for being old as *****.
- Jeffler, on 11/12/2007, -0/+2That Panoramic camera is in Guinness Book of World Records 2001. You have...4 years. Well 3. Guinness 2008 is already out.
- kedohmen, on 11/12/2007, -0/+2No, it's not fake. I've seen the inventor of most of these on some TV show a few years ago. He's got tons of stupid/useless/dumb/retarded inventions. Course the 10-in-1 Gardening tool is prob fake...
- EXreaction, on 11/12/2007, -0/+2If you can't make a decent joke out of it, just don't post.
- morpheus69, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1No, dumbass..."fake" as in not really intended for actual use, but just for comedy/shock value. I hope people don't think Japanese are so strange that they would actually use any of this stuff...
- Skyfire, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1"10-in-1 gardening tool : useful ONLY if your Macgyver."
Doesn't count simply because that applies to every item ever made. - morpheus69, on 11/12/2007, -1/+2Really...insane? I lived in Japan for 10 years and I wouldn't call it insane. But then, I speak the language so I can actually understand what's going on instead of just thinking "wow, these insane Japanese are really insane!"
- LucidDr34m3r, on 11/12/2007, -1/+2The soup splatter shield is actually something else... I'm nearly certain. When I was a baby, my parents bought a little shower hat to keep soapy water out of my eyes during a bath, and it looked exactly like that, but you would wear it on your head, not your face. I'm pretty sure that's what it is, and someone just put it on their face and took a photo, maybe out of parody.
Or maybe they are just that crazy. - Goombellaofgoom, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1The trick is to put it on, THEN fill it with stuff.
- LucidDr34m3r, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that's not what it is. When I was little, my parents bought me a little shower hat to keep soapy water out of my eyes during a bath. It looked exactly like that, but you would wear it on your head rather than your face. I'm pretty sure someone just took that invention and wanted to make a parody of Japanese people.
Or maybe thats actually what it is, but I doubt it. - imelstevo, on 11/13/2007, -2/+3where are the ninjas?
- kedohmen, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1Have you ever been to japan? There is some strange ***** there.
- ummagummas08, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1I dunno, you think so? I actually really liked that idea..
- archer104, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1Agreed. I bought 15 of them. And I'm bald.
- oneoverzero, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1Yes, because the room that he is in is what matters
- kedohmen, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1oh, and instead of saying fake, why not just say "Novelty Item"??
- barnis, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1yeah u beat me to it...what a stupid post there are far better ones on that book and far more stupid recent and real ones
- inactive, on 11/12/2007, -2/+3Father time called... you know the freakin' rest.
- inactive, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1What's next? Gardening tools on keychains?
- laurasmith76, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1I'm such a sucker for those wacky Japanese inventions. Did you see the skirt that hides you from attackers by becoming a Coke vending machine costume? I think the tie in this article is a good idea.
- pdxchris, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1That gardening tool is larger than an average Asian!!! It might work in America though.
- mitypen, on 01/30/2008, -1/+1This was great. I opened this article up on a sleepy Monday morning and it gave me the giggles. The hair noodle protector and the Swiss army gardening tool were the best!
- mattwalton56, on 11/12/2007, -0/+0I thought that you where supposed to eat the food not wear it...
