There has already been a fair share of quips about the video camera on the new 5th generation iPod Nano, most having to deal with the video quality and the positioning of the lens on the device. But what about the fact that it looks nothing like a camera? If you weren’t down with tech blogs, you’d probably not even notice the video feature.

iLuv offers these Nano skins which make the device more closely resemble a camera. This way, you’ll never forget what you can do with it. Grab yours for just short of $25.

Designed by Chrissy Conant, the Chrissy Skin Rug is actually a very personal creation by the designer, signifying her relationship with her parents or some other mommy-daddy-type issue. I’m more focused on how disturbing this thing is.

It sort of looks like a slaughtered blow-up doll. If there was a blow-up doll serial killer, their home might feature a rug like this one.

One thing most of us can agree on is that our troops overseas deserve only the finest body armor available. Their lives are at jeopardy in order to protect our freedoms, so we’d like to see everyone return home safe and sound. Soldiers could really use some of this Dragon Kin body armor from Pinnacle Armor. You can detonate an M67 grenade in point blank range and it won’t penetrate through the materials. It’s flexible so you can easily move around, which is essential during a fire fight. AK-47, M4 and MP5 rifles have also been tested on it with fantastic results. Hopefully, we’ll soon see US troops wearing the Dragon Skin standard. In the meantime, looks like they’ll have to order some BUILT backpacks and double up on those.

This skin spraying gun makes you feel like you’re Wolverine. Stem-cell infused skin is discharged from the nozzle onto a wound to expedite the healing process to just hours. Alright, so it’s not quite Wolverine’s mutant healing powers, it’s still better than your natural tissue regeneration, pussy. This is not to be confused with the spray on condom.

$250 million has been invested into researching advancements in healing techniques like the spray skin. The days of laying in your bed until your wounds are completely healed are coming to an end.

It’s a common saying in Japan that UV light is the biggest enemy to women because it makes them age faster. So a lot of beauty products have been abusing this concept to target its consumers.

Instead of trying to reverse the damage, wouldn’t it be great to have something handy to warn you just before those freckles come out? You got it, the “UV Beads Checker” will change color under strong UV light. So you’ll know just exactly when to scream and hide in the shades. They come in the form of cellphone charms, but of course you can be a little more creative, tie them up your hair and make new friends. Besides, you can also attach an additional piece of Swarovski crystal just for the effect.

The prices for UV Beads Checker starts at $6, feel free to join the other 9638 satisfied customers. –Sam Chan

Why do fanboys wish to recreate the past so badly? This is a simple decal that lets you have your brand new Wii controller turn into a “retro” controller so that you don’t have to get out that SNES to get the nostalgia juices flowing. While this decal lets you get a blast-from-the-past, it clashes with the Wii’s minimal aesthetic.

Or at least it will if you don’t buy the matching Wii console decal along side the controller decal. That way you can have a SNES controller with the NES system, wow, next-gen just got thrown back into the time machine. Just one qualm about the console decal: why does it say Revolution. Of course, the Wii’s code name was Revolution, but once the name Wii was announced, Revolution was supposed to be thrown away into the pits of generic names hell. — Nik Gomez
