Adhesive tape, in and of itself, is not all that funny.

So it’s something of a minor triumph for Propaganda, a product design company in Thailand, to come up with this, the Mr. P Tape Dispenser. The humor is subtle, and a shade perverted even: The tape emerges from the little man’s mouth, like a comically elongated tongue? To be serrated off at his feet? While he looks like he’s in a perpetual exercising scrunch??

Whatever, I’m sold. I’m not even in the market for a tape dispenser. But I’ve just got to have that green one. I will not, however, go hog-wild on the Mr. P design motif. So no matching table lamp for me.
