Pekoppa toy.

Have you ever been put down at work or your home? Ever feel like no one cares about what you have to say? Well no more! Now you can have your very own potted plant that will listen to everything you have to say and nod in agreement to you.

Sounds crazy doesn't it? To some maybe to others no. If you live in Japan you can get one of these little plants for roughly $26 USD.

You know when I first read this I though "wow what a stupid and useless thing to have". But after leaving this post over a day I had time to think about it. Yes it is still kinda crazy to me, thinking about talking to a plant, but if you think about it from some ones elses perspective you begin to realize something. Just because its crazy to me doesn't mean its going to be crazy to everyone, people have FAR worse jobs then what I do and much worse home lives. Maybe they have an aggressive family where they get put down all day long for not doing anything right. This could really be an outlet for alot of people, a little green happy plant that wont die (its made of metal that responds to sound stimulus) that you don't have to take care of or even ensure that it stays happy. It will always be there for them and will always 'nod'.

To be honest I wouldn't have engineered something like this in a million years but I'm glad that there is a company out there thats thinking of people that don't have the best of lives.
