Pink Ganesha with Sneakers CD Player

National Geographic Traveler went to Mumbai, India, and found this beaut: a CD player topped with a modern interpretation of the Hindu elephant god Ganesha ... complete with sneakers!

Just to clarify, Ganesh is not an elephant god. He's a god that has an elephant's head. The head was a replacement for his human head. He's not an elephant, though.

National Geographic went all the way to India to find a vinyl toy designed by an American. that's rather funny. And stop getting all offended you people out there. OMG Doze Green used religious motif's like he sometimes does. Som of you seem like you are looking to be offended by something. That's moronic frankly.

Yes, that is a piece of Doze Green awesomeness -- part of the "designer vinyl" or "art toy" movement. This tiny deity on a boom box can also be found right here in the US:

Luckily Hindus tend to be pretty peacful people, so as long as this was meant with no disrespect I don't think too many Rock Steady Crew records will be burned in Mumbai.
