We're always big fans of mixed-use gadgets -- but these ones kind of mutilate the principle. On hand today we've got a two pack of bedazzled necklaces -- one an MP3 player, the other a USB flash drive / watch combo. We've also unearthed a USB speaker that claims to be a whale, but more closely resembles a weird, in our opinion. Finally (and this one was worth the wait, trust us), we've got a tiny Moto Horn for your bike, which makes it "safer" to ride your bike by... making vroom vroom motorbike noises as you zoom along. Consider these our best suggestions for what to do with your disposable income, folks.

Next we'll have all those hippies protesting weird hunting.
superhobo @ Jun 21st 2009 2:48PM
Also, what exactly is crappy about the necklace mp3 player?
Ross @ Jun 21st 2009 8:53PM
I dunno, but I was wanting to do the normal voting thingy. There's nowhere for me to vote the clock/necklace/USB drive as the worst :(

I never knew whales had dicks sticking out of their mouths...
letstakeawalk @ Jun 21st 2009 1:51PM
Narwhal?
liv @ Jun 21st 2009 6:39PM
+1 for knowing your zoology, my friend!

VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Dean @ Jun 21st 2009 1:02PM
hmm, i guess it does seem to resemble a weird...
Hashbrown Hunter (OneGiantCluster.blogspot.com) @ Jun 21st 2009 1:55PM
...baby's head? (With fashionable bow tie.)
tom @ Jun 21st 2009 4:34PM
they were obviously too busy watching jimmy fallon reruns to catch this obvious mistake....
Bonqueesha @ Jun 21st 2009 6:53PM
There's no mistake. They're talking about the creature from Mario.

I used to have something similar to the Moto Horn back in the stone age when I was about 5 years old. It replaced one of the grips on my bicycle where I could "rev" it to give off the sound of motorcycle. Made me feel like Fonzy. Man I was so cool.
Michael @ Jun 21st 2009 2:08PM
When you recognize that those four and five year old boys are who this device is made for, and see the kind of simple joy it brings them, then it's not such a crapgadget, is it?
Whale it is. Even though I detest the other two, since I abhor anything with cheezy plastic "bling" applied to it.

The bear from The Muppets?
Ryback @ Jun 22nd 2009 5:54AM
I had one of those too. I got it for my birthday and my father installed it on my BMX. I broke the same day after some hours of constant use. I guess it was a crapgadget after all, but it made me the coolest kid on the street, for several hours!
scott @ Jun 21st 2009 1:09PM
hmmm its a cute little guy .
Gert @ Jun 21st 2009 1:17PM
"People have to do something, right?!"
To: Hell @ Jun 21st 2009 1:31PM
I want to hug it and squeeze it and stab my enemies with it!
Tokyo Slim @ Jun 21st 2009 1:54PM
it looks like a narwhal to me too...
strider_mt2k @ Jun 21st 2009 2:16PM
Look, I didn't collect all those baseball cards just to NOT stick them in my spokes with a clothes pin!
Old school it, is what I'm saying.
Malikye @ Jun 21st 2009 2:20PM
it isn't a "USB Cetacean Whale Speaker". it's made to be put in a headphone jack
mick @ Jun 21st 2009 2:57PM
no its usb as it charges via usb
Prasand J. @ Jun 21st 2009 7:24PM
Recharging that badboy, to me, is as silly as needing to charge my headphones before using them. I remember even back in the day, not needing an additional power source for very large speakers,
I guess the whale stores the energy in it's blubber.
superhobo @ Jun 21st 2009 2:46PM
That was obviously made by a lame rock hater. Rocks were around millions, not thousands of years ago!
Eduardo Resende @ Jun 21st 2009 7:11PM
If I had to choose, I'd prefer crapgadgets over KIRFs. At least they've tried to do something new -- and failed miserably, that's true, but you have to agree that's much harder to create something from scrap than just ripping off some successful design, right?
Eduardo Resende @ Jun 21st 2009 7:13PM
*scratch
erik1080 @ Jun 21st 2009 11:38PM
I bet the speakers sound like they're playing underwater.
Tyler Crumpton @ Jun 21st 2009 11:52PM
"Phturrrrrppplll!"
Jon @ Jun 22nd 2009 7:32AM
crapgadgets? two of them are on the site "coolest gadgets"... the irony...
Matthew @ Jun 22nd 2009 9:27AM
Well, the Moto Horn has been done before! This old version sure LOOKED more cool, too!

The watch actually sounds fairly useful; if someone made a version *not* encrustated with jewels, I might buy it.
