"Mr. Wilson," the unsettling tennis ball towel holder

Posted by Rob Beschizza, October 24, 2008 5:59 AM | permalink

His brass-rimmed black eyes settled over a leering, open crack of a mouth, Mr. Wilson likes nothing better than to hold a towel between his lips as he silently watches you bathe.

he looks like he's vommiting blood, which, for some disturbing reason, makes the whole thing more appealing to me.

He's the offspring of Mr. and Ms. Pac Man that they don't like to talk about.

Is this supposed to be like Wilson from Tom Hank's Castaway?

If so the FAIL

...Claiming it's a tennis ball prevents a lawsuit from Atari over the obvious Pac-Man similarities. Maybe.

Obligatory: OM NOM NOM!

Isn't Wilson a company that makes tennis balls?
Pac-Man was brought to us by Midway, though he's now owned by Namco.

Anyway, I don't think this is a foolish gadget, as long as he doesn't spit up your towel in anticipation. He's almost grinning...
