The Gasmask Showerhead: Just Plain Creepy May 17, 2007

I have covered some of the innovative designs from Chris Dimino in the past, most recently his cool take on the Waffle maker. However, we are a long way from cozy family breakfasts with his latest creation, the Gasmask Showerhead.
Short of having a cow’s anus protruding from the wall in my shower I can picture few things more terrifying than this one. Still, I like the way the head has been made to morph out of the wall, a la Terminator 2.
The hollow eye sockets for holding your shampoo and scrubber just serve to crank up the Creep Factor that extra notch.-Martin Lynch

I havent seen anything in such unbelievably bad taste in a very very long time. Does the creator of this vile piece not realise that over 6million people were gassed by the Nazis, being herded into the death chambers on the pretext that they were going for a shower? Maybe he created this for a bit of fun, but he surely he can't be stupid enough not to realise the connection...
Relax. Life is to short to not realize the awesome power of creepy things.
Anton, if your life was as short as some of those who were gassed, you wouldnt be quite so relaxed. Methinks you are a creep.
its just a showerhead. sheeesh
Ah now, if it came with a complimentary can of Zyklon-B, it would be in bad taste. That's just creepy. Damn creepy.
just because its a gas mask you just assumed it's the nazi's ? so what your telling me a gas mask shouldnt be used anymore just because a bunch of genocidal freaks used it in the wrong way doesnt mean we shouldnt use it anymore. if we just went around not using tools because they were used by evil people then why dont you associate a knife with the hundreds of people who have been stabbed to death. no you dont and that makes you a hypocrite. FOR FUCKS SAKE IT DOESNT EVEN HAVE A NAZI SYMBOL ON IT MORON
Dude this is a great piece of art. I would love to make one for myself because it relates to alot of artis that use spray cans to create works of art. double kudos.
yes i agree with the last poster we should ban this! hell lets just ban gas all together!
lighten up, alot of people were killed by gas, but dose this mean that items like gas masks should be taboo in art? no, i dont thnk so.
