    This is just wrong in so many ways... I don't want to sit on a fat red guy, even if he is comfy!

    Looks more like the Chinese Buddha to me. I think it's the long ear tassles that do it.

    It's not Gerard, it's Gerald. And yes, it is the same Gerald Scarfe who designed the visuals for The Wall movie by Pink Floyd.

    I'm just glad he's got that sign to cover up his genitalia.

    Ew. A Communist chair? It would probably eat me.

    Oh. Good. God! That's the most terrifying thing I've seen made of leather! And I've seen fat guys wearing bottomless chaps! O_o

    we are in a net communications tutorial in Australia and instead of posting something serious and worthwhile, we found this FANTASTIC chair, it is awesome, where can we get one? and we want to know the price of the chair because we want to buy it for our tutor.
