All in all it's good to know that it's possible to weave a wicker toilet. It's not clear exactly what it's for, but it definitely counts as an impressive creation of dubious taste. Everyone has their own style, and whether that's golden hot dog statues or chest tattoos of Scooby Doo, there's always someone out there willing to make an extremely competent version of it. They may be of questionable taste, but they're definitely impressive creations.

Listen, no one is saying that a tattoo of Bobby Hill as Sailor Moon is inherently a bad thing. In fact, it can be done incredibly well. The real question people have is "why?" With enough artistic follow-through, any bad or weird idea can become a skillful creation of absurd taste. The world needs its hamburger dune buggies and armchairs with literal arms. They're impressive. They're also impressive creations of dubious taste.

Creativity is a good thing, but sometimes our creativity gets in the way of our sense and we end up making impressive creations of questionable taste. And that's not to say this stuff is useless either. People create effective low budget DIY solutions for their problems all the time. It's just that some ideas in practice tend to lack...uh... grace.
One of the great things about being human is having the ability to manifest our dreams and tastes in the from of physical things. We can build whatever impressive creation of dubious taste we want. Want a cheese log carved into a bust of Nixon? Go for it. Want to be buried in a coffin shaped like a hamburger? Also possible. While the things people like might be of questionable taste, the creations are still impressive.
There's no denying that people are very creative as well as incredibly skilled at making such interesting things. That said, who really wants a toe bed? Maybe this stuff resonates with at least a few people out there, but on the whole, a toilet guitar isn't gonna be something that a lot of us want to buy. It's just a drop in the bucket of the many impressive creations of questionable taste.

Food is one of the great joys of life. But when it goes wrong, cursed food can quickly become one of its great terrors. Sometimes we eat stuff that sucks to be polite guests, sometimes we don't realize what we're eating is gonna be bad, and sometimes we're just stupid. At least when it's over we have new insight on the worst things we've tasted.
A surprising umber of questionable things can find their way into one's mouth. Most often it's some cursed food made by someone who shouldn't be cooking. Other times it's products that have no business being sold to anyone ever. And on rare occasions you accidentally eat a butterfly while you're riding a bike or something. These are their stories.

"Don't get hung up on numbers," Dave Broom, author of "The Complete Bartender's Guide," told Tales of the Cocktail attendees Saturday at "The Blind Truth About Aging Whisky" seminar, sponsored by Diageo. "Age just tells you how long it's been in a cask, not how good it is."
The Tales seminar focused on Scotch whisky, but experts say that tenet also extends to other whiskeys produced around the world. It's an increasingly important message for shoppers browsing liquor store shelves these days, with spirit distillers releasing both un-aged whiskeys and super-aged rarities—and many more that don't have an age noted.
