Thought we could use a thread dedicated to bad design to compliment the Good Design Thread (http://www.loungeoftomorrow.com/LoT/showthread.php?t=8948&highlight=Kevyisadork).

The iPhone snitch network (http://www.infowars.com/iphone-snitch-network-launched/):


A new iPhone App with the misleading name ‘PatriotApp’ attempts to draw on the power of the patriot movement, turning smartphone users into a gigantic snitch network.

This one's old new, but it has to be my favorite "Who The Fvck Thought This Was a Good Idea" gadget ever.

TwitterPeek (http://reviews.cnet.com/cell-phones/twitterpeek-mobile-tweeting-device/4505-6454_7-33848292.html)

This was a $100 handheld device that did one thing (interface with Twitter) - and did it terribly:

The Twitter Peek does not display full 140-character messages on the home screen, links in tweets lead to badly rendered text-only Web pages, you can only view images from TwitPic and no other Twitter photo service, you can't have multiple Twitter accounts on it, it can take a long time to load new tweets, and it doesn't load all the missed tweets between when it's powered off and back on. It is also far too expensive for what it does.

I almost want the Patriot one just so I can report all the Engrish I find under "Product Safety". ;)

Anyone Else Think South Korea Is Over-Compensating For Something (http://www.manolith.com/2012/11/07/anyone-else-think-south-korea-is-overcompensating/)The planned city will include luxury hotels, casinos, theme parks, shopping malls, a concert hall, indoor skiing and even Formula One racetrack.

It will also include a unique, domed "megastrip" measuring in at 200 meters high and 880 meters in length

Yoko Ono's fashion line (http://dlisted.com/2012/11/28/justin-bieber-will-take-one-every-color)
Here's just one example, but they all seem to have the crotch-hand motif

If you do, then I'm not buying anything from them.
