Owner is dumb dumb.

The langage of the site is in sterotypical "engrish" but I read the whole thing and was slightly amused.

What I really, really want....is that stand so I can display my own orgami boulder on my desk.

Hehe...time for someone to write an 'orgami boulder' tut...

1) Take a clean piece of paper
2) 'See' the shape in the paper
3) Grab with both hands, and in the best Jackson Pollack style, direct all your anger into the paper, forming a perfect ball.
4) Breath out, in a long, controlled fashion
5) Place created origami boulder on stand

Gotta love it...

For those looking for that 'extra' kick, write a haiku on the paper first...

This would be pure humor if progressive museums and art galleries didn't include this level of "art" in actual exhibits. Great site though, put a smile on my face

This is brilliant. Wish I'd thought of it. Except that he kind of ruins the joke by admitting that it's just a wadded up piece of paper.

That was humorous! Considering the various and sundry things that have been called "art" in the past, I thought that was pretty creative. And hey, if he actually makes money off of it, more power to him!

I too, was surprised to see the PayPal page actually come up...

I thought one time, that I would market this large nail on TV as an all-purpose hook. Goes with anything, anywhere. Holds up to 10 lbs of weight if installed properly...
Someone would buy it. Think about it...

I'm sure the ToolSchool would order hundreds...for all those atomic wedges that are so desperately needed...and then hang'em on the wall...

Hehe...

Not for me, most of my joy in life comes from that fact that gullible people get taken advantage of on a regular basis.

P.T. Barnum would be proud if this guy sells his boulders.

Well, it's only really taking advantage if he doesn't actually send the boulders out. Then it's not only taking advantage, but fraud as well. I bet he really does send out them origami boulders when he gets an order. I know several people who would probably order one just for s****s and giggles...
