Sign of the Times: Handmade Social Networking Pillows

After being dismissive for a looong time, we finally decided to sign up for Facebook. Now we're a little obsessive about checking it. These sassy social networking pillows are of course over the top but still, they make us smile for playfully mocking our societal obsession with social networking...

 
 

You can find these 12" x 12" fleece pillows on Etsy for $18.00, made by Craftsquatch (great name).

We still refuse to ever join the Twitter craze. Well...at least for now.

Hmmm. Pillows using someone else's trademarked logos.

I think these are adorable, but couldn't imagine them in my own place.

Ack, no. Why would you bring more corporate-branded stuff into your home?

I like them! I think they're meant to be satirical.

First, a writer for one of the largest design blogs in the world dismissing social networks is fairly humorous - if it weren't for social networks and the ability for people to share links quickly and easily, you wouldn't have a job.

Secondly, it's not trademark/copyright infringement. Something like this would apply under fair use, where the artist is taking something and making what could be seen as art with it.

Third, while quirky and cute, those pillows would never find their way into my home.

I love them all. Their Social and Adobe pillows are cool. Social networks can get out of hands but they are pretty good if you have control of your account and information on them. If you can't well there is always the delete button. Which is always a good thing.

Anyways love the pillows RSS pillow is my favorite.
