I hope they don't think
I hope they don't think they invented that LP bowl thing: Martha Stewart for the pomo age (though now that I think of it Martha herself is a product of the pomo age). I dunno, I think this should have just been called "Snarky Crafts Product Idea" and have done with it. It's a tad too self-conscious and self-congratulatory for my tastes. And it's not so much about resourceful re-use as it is about making fun of the idea of reuse and resourcefulness.
Something I noticed in this article is that ironic is not used, but "droll" is. Is "droll" the post-911 "ironic?"
