content: I also think it is a good design. It is clearly meant as a joke and shows a certain self-mockeryClearly not for everybody, but far from stupid IMO.

content: How is that lamp stupid? It certainly won't be to everyone's taste, but if placed properly, it can loosen up an otherwise very stiff interior. Everything being too coherent can be incredibly boring.

content: I'd pass on it, but in the rare chance the cable and electrical parts are good quality (MIC = unlikely or 50/50 coin toss) it's a dog I can live withAt least this dog doesn't p!ss n sh!t everywhere, chuck up food on the carpet, chew on Audiophool cables,f*** up furniture, eat broomsticks/anything wood, trash the back yard, slobber over everyone and everything,constant attempts to have s e x with your leg and or annoy you for walks and physical BS you don't need after a long day working,dump turds and urinate at random everywhere in the street and in the home,improvise and turn jealousy of newborn children into a quick snack when no one's looking or in the can,drive the (once friendly) neighbors nuts and homicidal with constant barking and yelping 24/7,Did I miss anything?

content: I would not like that lamp.In my case, it is cats. More than one of our cats had that "cone of silence" on at on time or another for varies reasons. It makes me sad to remember how miserable they were having to wear that thing.
