How come almost every household item on regretsy is advertised as “CONVERSATION PIECE” from marijuana toilet seats to clocks with stoned looking ladies on them?
As if people have totally run out of somewhat more interesting things to talk about…
Whoooooooooa. I don’t give a frick if it is only an example. The visual seed is planted.
Just what anyone would love to see when checking the time-countdown to the big death march, rot, fallout, and a bad permanent wave.
Let me just get out my nautilus snail shell pasties and take a picture! This will be the perfect Xmas present!
I firmly believe that very few people on Etsy actually think before they post pictures of their products. Or their taste level, to quote Tim Gunn, is questionable. I’m kind of torn as to which is worse.
#1, Leftfoot:
Hocrap, Walken was in Basquiat?! Time to rewatch, after 10+ years. (Bowie as Warhol kinda drowned that out, lol.)
#11 Raz: Spot on!
Just…thumbs up all around. (PS: That is NOT my Gran. Hehe.)
I know what I’ll be getting my dad for Christmas this year. He loves gag gifts and taking horrible photos of himself with his new camera. I think I’ll use this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/54192933@N07/5015902469/
Yeah, not a great choice for the picture…but the idea is actually pretty cool and the price is right. I’d get it for two of my closest friends who are celebrating their 29th anniversary if I had a really good picture of them together (and they had any wall space that wasn’t taken up with bookshelves).
I’m all for snark, but come on. Don’t be dissing on people’s appearances to get a couple of chuckles from the masses
Fuck you and your frowny emoticon. There isn’t a person alive who looked at that picture and didn’t notice those jacked up teeth. Don’t give me shit for saying what you were thinking. – HK

Bluntress: We at Regretsy are here to help and “cash reality checks” for people
We help by pointing out peoples bad choices.
With a choice of litteraly millions of pictures, the seller chose that pix.
The seller then chose to put that particular picture clock on his/her store’s home page.
If logic, good taste or good sense had kicked in with the seller at some point, this would not have been created.
Say it with me people, say it with me… “View it in a room! View it in a room! View it in a room!”
If “Naked Goldilocks Wearing a Mitten While Giving Smokey the Bear a Reach-Around” can get a “View it in a room”… There’s NO rational reason this clock can’t.
September 22, 2010 at 4:36 pm
I want Christopher Walken Clock. But “Pennies from Heaven” Walken. None of that Basquiat stuff.
September 22, 2010 at 4:38 pm
This is steampunk, right? With the clock gear… yeah?
No, I didn’t think so.
I’m glad the seller didn’t think so when it came time to tag the listing.
September 22, 2010 at 4:39 pm
But can they do a clock featuring me with Jesus?
September 22, 2010 at 4:39 pm
LOL! I actually painted a clock face with my face for an art class a few years ago. If I put it up on Etsy, maybe I can sell it!
September 22, 2010 at 4:41 pm
Can braces be added for no charge, too?
September 22, 2010 at 4:43 pm
No but I want that specific clock shown.
September 22, 2010 at 4:44 pm
Are we dealing with a mama’s boy, a post-modern marketing genius or a sheltered workshop?
September 22, 2010 at 4:44 pm
I’d like to see Aunt Edna with some 3-D Chin Whiskers shooting out the number 6.
That would really capture the spirit of this clock.
September 22, 2010 at 4:45 pm
hmmm… i thought i’d get a Pricasso for my mom for her birthday…. now i’m torn. Good thing Christmas is coming!
September 22, 2010 at 4:45 pm
Grandma could use a flipper!
September 22, 2010 at 4:51 pm
this would be a super clock if it featured Flavor Flave’s face
September 22, 2010 at 4:52 pm
holy shit….this is the best representation of their work that they could come up with…
*note to self: dont use pictures of spouse when marketing products no matter how much they hold out on the world class blow job
September 22, 2010 at 4:53 pm
The treasure must be the money the tooth fairy left behind.
September 22, 2010 at 4:55 pm
I have a picture of my placenta I want on there…. do you DO placenta pics?
September 22, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Time For Goatse Clock!
September 22, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Is it tooth-hurty already?!
September 22, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Grandma, what big teeth you have …
September 22, 2010 at 5:04 pm
I screamed like a girl when I saw this.
Oh, wait. I am a girl.
Nevermind.
September 22, 2010 at 5:05 pm
It’s crazy granny time!
September 22, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Grandma could have used the money you spent on this clock for new dentures. What were you thinking
September 22, 2010 at 5:07 pm
The ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ singing lady would make a memorable timepiece–can anyone photoshop this, please?
September 22, 2010 at 5:12 pm
Well, at least you know where Grandma’s hands are at all times.
September 22, 2010 at 5:14 pm
hoo hoo hoo boy!
the fuckery potential here is limitless!
just think about it!

I certainly hope this is one-of-a-kind, because once I go after this thing with a set of matches, I don’t want any sequels.

Not a bad gift idea for a dentist. He can totally hang it in his office to remind people the importance of oral hygiene.
September 22, 2010 at 7:04 pm
Why would I want a clock with J. Edgar Hoover in drag on the face?
September 22, 2010 at 7:13 pm
And now Grandma can really watch time pass on her face.
September 22, 2010 at 7:13 pm
razz – AWESOME.
I LOVE the seller’s display clock, it’s bizarre and hilarious, like a John Wayers character.
Here are some clocks I need desperately, though the second one isn’t technically a face… more of a bodyshot:

This fabulous clock will make you the Center of Envious Gossip:

September 23, 2010 at 2:41 am
She should have set the time at 2.30 really…
September 23, 2010 at 4:58 am
Well. They always told me my face could stop a clock. I guess we’ll find out now.
Also–can we please order Maman Brigitte’s clock and auction it for one of those cleft pallate charities?
September 23, 2010 at 4:59 am
Shoot. I meant to fix ‘palate’ before submitting.
September 23, 2010 at 6:06 am
Hickory dickory dock
Grandma’s face is now a clock
The clock struck one
Granny’s teeth fell down
And will be offered as jewelry by eleven
September 23, 2010 at 6:35 am
How cute! Just in time for Halloween!
September 23, 2010 at 8:27 am
Screw my face; I want THIS one.
Besides that, who else thinks it’s really fucking weird to get a clock of your own face?
September 23, 2010 at 8:49 am
Just what I’ve always wanted–an Ernest Borgnine in drag clock!

September 23, 2010 at 8:49 am
What time is it? Time for glasses if that’s the best photo you can come up with for an example of your work.
September 23, 2010 at 9:02 am
Cuckoo …. cuckoo …
September 23, 2010 at 9:23 am
At least it is not Twilight themed. Wait, those teeth, maybe it is twilight themed…
September 23, 2010 at 9:43 am
Who would want any other picture on this unique and wonderful bathroom clock that is intended to remind you to floss, floss, floss.
September 23, 2010 at 9:43 am
I’m thinking…. Glitter Tears Eagle with the words “Never Forget.”
That will go perfect over my mantle.
September 23, 2010 at 10:07 am
… the clock is perfect because Nana likes to celebrate 4:20 pm
September 23, 2010 at 10:36 am
Well, I can totally see clocks like this being the next Big Thing in interior design…
September 23, 2010 at 3:30 pm
ok time for granny to be cut off from the bingo hall if she comes home looking like this.
September 23, 2010 at 3:59 pm
It’s so terrible I must have it. Grandma Clockface is an evil siren beckoning me to my doom.
September 23, 2010 at 4:36 pm
What a great gift for the mother-in-law to give to the new bride!
September 23, 2010 at 5:02 pm

This would have been funny as a “View It In A Room”.
I would have mocked one up myself, but I just don’t have the skills. Maybe someone else out there does?
September 24, 2010 at 9:49 am
HURRAH FOR EQUALITY!!
No longer are we LIMITED to grandfather clocks introducing the GRANDMOTHER clock!!!!
BOIIIIIIII

This is actually brilliant on their part; no matter how badly yours turns out, it’ll still look better than this one.
