The Ex

This must be one of the most disturbing objects I have ever seen in a home goods department. Judge for yourselves:

'The Ex' 5-piece SS Knife Set with Unique Holder

I can't figure out whether the idea was conceived by a certain NY taxi driver, by a femme fatale with a dislike of bunnies, or by a member of a prominent Italian family residing in New Jersey (its ancestors were likely into opera). Your guess is as good as mine. No designer names are necessary here; let's let the art speak for itself. If you hear what it is saying, you can find it on Overstock. The piece happens to be its "deal of the day". Grab it for 53 bucks. Go through this link to get 10% off any purchase. ♦DiggIt!Add to del.icio.usAdd to Technorati Faves

As the name describes - "EX" - the idea was conceived by a hatefull ex-girlfriend of this fellow.

I think if I saw this in anyone's kitchen, I would think twice about getting to know this person better ;-)

Believe it or not, while this item has different meanings to different people, the ex that inspired "The Ex" is a woman.
