The recession has hit Batman pretty hard. In fact, he can’t even afford gas for his old Batmobile anymore. He’s replacing unleaded with peanuts.
They might want to attach a fricken’ laser beam to his head. It’d be nice to have a weapon other than trample, you know, just in case we happen to be chasing down a criminal overlord.
They say that elephants never forget. But who cares about memory if you have to be terrified by mice all of the time. Is that any life worth living?! Huh? HUH? ANSWER ME!
The “Pachydermos” steampunk-inspired gas mask is either made for elephants or made to make you look like an elephant. Either way, the steampunk design is pretty badass. The big circular ear is an awesome addition.
So here’s the deal. Apparently, the Thai people really, really love pandas. They love pandas so much that they are willing to paint their national animal, the elephant, to look just like over-sized smelly versions of the cuddly bears.
Keepers of Thailand’s Ayutthaya Elephant Kraal threw some paint on five of these huge rodentphobic mammals and paraded them through the streets, much to the pleasure of the Thai school children. Some seen to think that the elephant keepers have gone a little too far. But I look at it this way, at least these elephants aren’t being processed for meat, skin and ivory. I think the elephants look pretty happy considering. More pics after the jump.
What’s more deadly? The ass of an elephant or cigarettes. I’ve never met an elephant so I couldn’t tell you. This ridiculous cigarette dispenser might be pretty awkward to whip out at your next attendance at a PETA meeting. If you bring this to your PETA meeting, you might want to wear running shoes too to escape the angry animal guards.
The cigarette dispensing elephant holds up to 24 ciggys. Four more than your average pack. Just in case you have a few strays lying around you want to get rid of. It’s available now for $9.99, also available in the shape of a donkey. — Andrew Dobrow
