I have to buy one of these! Right?!

I really don"t know what to think about this, knowing it is for charity, but I can't keep thinking of "I've got a real comfy bed and pretend to be homeless". But if the money is for a good cause, well then. Maybe the allusion wasn't absolutely necessary, although graphically the result is really impressive.

I sincerely don't now what to think.

Ohh homeless bum on street chick!!!! I love it!!!! So very glam!

I think I agree with Daniel. I think it's a very cool concept, but I think I'd feel guilty using it knowing that I had a home and a real bed to put it on.

hideous.

Tasteless design for a good cause undermines the good cause.

im torn between awesome idea and kinda ugly.

Reminds me of Zoolander's Derelicte fashion campaign.

More might sell if they were of colorful boxes and/or had foreign script on them like Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, or even French and German.

It's so realistic that it's too ugly for me.

Ugghh,

Commenters, don't be so pedestrian. This is rocking, ironic and right on. Can't you see the beauty in the fact that the image portrayed is so far from the reality? Really, I am disappointed in your literal and lefty guilt ridden responses.

Oh, unclench, PUSH82.

fugly.

Sometimes edgy = sucky.

And ROFLMAO, K T G.

A daily reminder to a person that they have a bed and somebody else doesn't makes a point, but does it make them act?

K T G: perfect.

Or you can just donate $90 to the charity.

ha! made me laugh. totally reminds me of zoolanders derelicte too.

Concept: Win. Design: Fail. Faux homeless bed linens are thought-provoking and witty, but far too ugly and tasteless to have broad appeal. At least it will give exposure to the cause in forums (fora?) like this.

Gotta give credit for creativity. I think it could be great as an installation piece. Not sure if I'd use it in my actual home, though.

So is having this comforter on my bed supposed to make me feel guilty that I have a bed? I really don't appreciate going to bed with that kind of "social comment" . And no, I don't see 'beauty' in that comforter. It's trash art, tasteless and gross.

I sort of like it, but knowing that it's ironic makes me barf.
And that's an idea--pre-stained bed linens!

IF this was embroidered, rather than just printed, I'd think it was amazing and post-something or other. But printed bed linens? Naff.

Ha, Derelicte! And I think maybe Zoolander himself posted as PUSH82.

My first thought was "This reminds me of when we used to make forts out of refridgerator boxes when we were little - and breakdancing on them when they were flat. AWESOME!" Then I read AT-ers' comments... ugh.

The fact that the money is going to a good charity does not make this design pretty.

This is just awful!

as an art statement: interesting.

as a commodity: very poor taste.

It's not about pretending to be homeless. It's about recognizing the homeless and not pretending they don't exist.

I hope a group of homeless people were paid consultant rates to fianlize the design?

I don't think it is attractive or edgy - but I generally stay away from cause marketing - I'd rather buy less stuff and make my donation directly.

And I find it amusing that pedestrian is used as an insult - I looked up the definition - lacking in vitality, imagination, distinction, etc.; commonplace; prosaic or dull - Baby, walking isn't any of those thing!

Ditto on Derelicte. Saw it and thought, "holy mother of god, somebody finally realized the genius of Jacobim Mugatu!"

sorry everyone, but i find this totally clever, brilliant. i'd buy it in a heartbeat.
