Straight to the ‘gotta keep this in mind for x-mas’ archive goes this enlightened beauty, of which I’m pretty sure some people would be really ok with finding it under their tree. Adorably simple, very marketable and so totally worth it:
Product sales pitch:
What better present for the person who has everything than a poignant reminder that they want for nothing? This lovingly crafted vial of emptiness is filled to the brim with unfettered nothingness. Free from the burden of possessions, the weight of responsibility, Nothing is as idiotic as it is brilliant.
Indeed even old Macbeth, though mad as a kipper, realised that life, whilst full of sound and fury (and that was before iPods) is inherently daft and ultimately signifies Nothing. And let us not forget, that ‘Nothing’ is so important that most of our universe – and the contents of a lot of people’s heads – appears to be made up of it.
It’s a statement, an empty gesture if you will, a nod at the futility of ownership, and yet despite ‘Nothing’ being nothing, it is of course packed with millions of protons, neutrons and what have you, which is pretty good for Nothing.
Yours for the humble price of $6.28
