Icartaup At first blush, this iPod dock/TP holder struck us as a bit ... hmm, how should we put this? .... silly.

But then we remembered that, historically, people have been too quick to pooh-pooh genius when it involves bathroom paraphernalia.

For instance, a lot of narrow-minded, bourgeois folks once scoffed when artist Marcel Duchamp signed a urinal and called it art.

Yet, almost a century later,
Fountain has been hailed as the most important work of modern art, beating out Picasso and Warhol, according to some 500 artists, curators and other assorted twits experts.

So, even though whoever invented this little masterpiece claims that it's merely a clever gadget and not a visionary piece of art, we refuse to believe it. We also refuse to go on the record and call it ridiculous.

In fact, we'd like to be the first to say that we believe it's worthy of a permanent place at the Smithsonian. At the very least, it's destined to become a collector's item.
