I think we need a counterpoint to the Objects of Desire thread - a place for the many runts in the litter of Design.

So feel free to post your least favourite objects here. The ones you see in fever dreams at 3am. Share your pain.

In that noble spirit, ladies and gentlemen, I give you...the SsangYong Rodius!

Half somthing or other, all ugly....

they got it in the burnt citrus palette? eurgh!

When I posted the odious Rodius, I thought it might give Aztek owners a warm inner glow.

But seeing Martin's photo, I dunno. I think Pontiac pretty much used up the ugly stick before they FedExed it to SsangYong.

Bertie Botts earthworm flavored beans. Tastes like earthworms smell.

Without wishing to do more damage to my credibility as an Australian, I've always hated these bloody things:



And they're freakin' everywhere. (In Australia.)

My Flatmates.

Courtney Love.

Renault Megans.

Renaults.

Christianity.

Those SMART cars. Smart, my arse.

A dog.

Matrix: R's DVDs.

BC Rich Guitars.

Decaf Coffee (where the hell is the point?).

As you should all know, Macintoshes. Unless we're talking about using them as boat anchors.

Young Liberals. Like that guy who was on Millionaire a few weeks back (for the Aussie's).

Anime anything. Yawn.

Warhammer\Tragic the Garnering\D&D stuff.

Modern RnB, Hip-Hop paraphenalia.

More is pending.

Mobile (cell to non english speaking people) Phones (it's not the phones so much as the fucking idiots who insist on using them loudly in public places, and the other idiots who like to play games on their phones but haven't got the sense to turn the sound off)
Walkmans (pretty much for the same reasons above)
The internal combustion engine.

Or anything from that site, actually.

If you had $300, you could order one of these and wear it on the subway.

I would submit that Bertie Earthworm's bott flavoured beans might also fit this list.

Ha
I haven't tried one of those yet.

No excuse for this unless you're missing one or more hands.


Two humbuckers with one tone and one volume control?!?!? Whatsa matter, can't count past two?


Who are you trying to impress?


You not only played the Cyberpunk role-playing game in high school; you also went out and bought this coat because you were too stupid to tell the difference between a drover coat and a trench coat. That's just sad, man. Sad.

Although your classic drover's coat is by no means an Undesirable Object.

A very fine bit of design, in fact.

I think the drover's coat would be a "desireable object" in tan or a medium brown. The black colored canvas is just going to make you look like a bag person once a little real life dust settles on it.

They are also designed for horseback riding, as opposed to any sort of common modern transportation!

That's a Drizabone. I forgive SC, cause he's a yank, but not you Gromit. Shame.

On the other hand, no way in hell is it cyberpunk, but damn they're comfy and useful.

More!

The Tom Delong Strat. "Let us pay shitloads for a Custom Shop Axe that only has one humbucker, because a talentless, immature, I'm-thirty-and-wish-I-was-still-in-high-school-so-my-songs-would-still-seem-meaningful hack had it made." Gibson can have him.

Kenwood CD players and kitchen appliances. My mum bought a handheld mixer, bout half as powerful and three times as expensive as a Sunbeam.

Victorinox kitchen knives. They flex and bend like a high-end callgirl.

Fords.

"Aussie" utes. Here's a fun game: for every BnS sticker you see on an "Aussie" ute, subtract one from the normal amount of human chromosones to arrive at a rough idea of how inbred the driver is.

Daikatana.

John Romero.

A forum where everyone talks in crude l33t."liek hey how r u ppls. i luv wiliem gibson lol ^_^ hes kewl. does u cyba-punks no n e 1 els taht rites liek him." The normally have names full of punctuation: [phAntom::man:P

John Howard.

The N-Gage.

Actually, most Nokias.

George W.

Nick Earls and his "books". They make nice, handy toilet paper.

JK Rowling. It's great for the kids, but when you see a thirty year old reading them, it's just sad.

Most things sony. It's like Apple for the more otaku types out there. Overpriced, mostly useless and bought only cause they're flashy and japanese.

Parents who feel that everyone else except them are responsible for their kids.

Kids. Jesus H., castrate me now.

People cruel to animals.

Anime. Yes, again. Whenever I'm at uni and see a bunch of nerds watching it, it's fun to walk up to them and say, "So, you guys hanging for the tentacles?"
