The EX-Knife collection...One might see where this could be offensive (and yet it sells...)

A set of Knives in a holder shaped like a person.


On the other hand though, it has humorous merit. I might be more inclined to buy it if it was a politically charged set ;)

1. Politically charged? That's an interesting idea.
I bet it'd sell like those proverbial hotcakes. ;)

2. I like it!
Mrs GoS might find it creepy though. And $70 for the holder and 5 knives that appear to be just throw aways is a little steep.

3. Ummmm... not just ANY person-- it's your ex, and...
said ex should be happy to be long gone from anyone with these sorts of issues.

But, yeah, it is funny if you're not the ex in question.

(If you have a hank of ex hair and say the right spell over it, could it be a voodoo doll?)

5. If it was really an "ex"....
....wouldn't the middle knife be a tad lower down?

6. With my luck......
....I would buy it and the ex would have a mysterious kitchen mis-hap or freak accident, landing me on Court TV. No thanks!
