Is this the greatest promotional spoon of all time?

  • July 19, 2007
  • Popjustice

Ladies and gentlemen we present to you: A SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO SPOON.

This is an item so bril­liantly stupid that we have taken pho­to­graphs of it in a variety of inter­est­ing locations.

1. Leaning against a small tree.

In this bonsai tree's little corner of the office it seems to be autumn. Imagine if this wasn't a bonsai tree and if the spoon itself was twenty feet tall. IMAGINE.

2. With some nectarines.

Imagine eating a nectarine with a spoon. Would life get any better?

3. On top of a copy of The Word magazine.

At last — something to stir your tea with.

4. In a bucket.

Who says spades should get all the fun?

5. Looking out over London.

This spoon could become a tourist attrac­tion to rival the London Eye.

6. On a kitchen appliance.

We propose a toast.

7. Hiding behind Hurley

The numbers may be bad but the spoon is very good.

8. In a dog basket.

Anyone who thinks dogs are better than spoons is an idiot.

9. In front of something which seemed amusing at the time.

If there was a gang for spoons, the Simian Mobile Disco spoon would be the leader.

We hope the evidence presented to you in the above pho­to­graphs will lead you to agree with us that yes, this IS the greatest pro­mo­tional spoon of all time.
