If inflatable pirate movie characters aren’t enough (see Lowe’s Daily here.—your ever inquisitive Editor), HomeDepot.com is offering a six-foot-wide crab that … well, we’ll let the online product description speak for itself:
“Our exclusive, larger-than-life Colossal Crustacean Giant King Crab statue is a perfect visual delicacy near a pond, bar or pool. Complete with pinchers, claws and nested legs, this titanic Crab sculpture boasts a 6 ft. W, easily spotted in deep seas or in your party room. Our humongous replica King Crab statue is cast in quality designer resin, reinforced for supreme strength with fiberglass and hand-painted with powerfully convincing colour and texture to be as faithful as possible to the form of its ancient species.”
Yeow. We get paid a lot of money (OK, a little money, sometimes) to anticipate the direction of the retail hardware and home improvement industry. But honestly, we did not see this one coming.
