Gun Suitcase: wouldn’t fancy bringing THAT through airport security
The Grumpy Old Bloggers tipped us off about these gun-embossed suitcases which are being sold by the website Kids Love Design. All we can say is that kids may well love design, but will airport security staff love these cases when someone tries to take them on board (and you just know someone will, don’t you?)? We think not. What do you think, though? "Black humour" as the makers claim, or just plain old bad taste?
not so much bad taste (I actually rather like this case) As a little bit daft – Airport security have to take everything seriously, and this would just be a waste of their time. So for that reason it gets a “NO” from me – but if I wasn’t going to go through an airport/border controls I might use it (though that is very unlikely – I like to go away to the sunshine and for that you have to go abroad!)
reminds me a bit of Warhol
I like the idea, but it’s not worth the hassle you’ll be sure to get every time you travel!
I think it’s brilliant!
Maybe a bit of a pain if you’re flying, but there’s no reason you couldn’t use this case for any other trip! I would certainly use it!!
Absolutely adorable! LUV in-your-face immature humor.
I think the line between tactless and funny depends on the situation.
Work = funny
Party = funny (if anyone actually took a suitcase to a party)
Airport = totally not funny.
