Taeyoon Choi is a tourist from South Korea who is tired of the monotony of photography. He asks the question, “Why is there no camera that takes photographs on its own?” So he devised a way to separate the camera from a human operator.  Using French inventor Jacques de Vauncanson’s Mechanical Digesting duck, Choi has turned it into his own “Magical Image Digesting Duck.”

Through a hacked digital camera, the duck is able to snap photographs in response to other camera flashes during its travels to many tourists spots in New York City. It is then able to immediately print it out or post them on the ‘net via WiFi. The duck is currently on display at Eyebeam Studios in the “Tourists and Travelers” exhibit.

Nobody wants to go out without some flair! And this guy will give you some sparks too! The Electric Bath Duck is the cute, not-so-cute bath toy for the envious of the dead. In other words, people who want to commit suicide and want the reaction to be “aww”. Just plug this little guy in and the laws of physics will finish the rest!

Before you start sending in angry e-mails, just remember this. We’re only the messenger and do not condone suicide in any shape or form. Although this would be the funniest way to do it. Oh and note, that 18 means only 18 and up can buy this product. Tough luck, kids (or get a fake ID). Or you could just shoot yourself of course. Nah, that’s boring. Yeah, just don’t do it. You’d be missing out on a lot of good blogging. File under: Morbid humor / Cruel and Unusual. (more…)
