Hot: if you work at the Red Cross.

Not: if you work at a Federal Bailout beneficiary

Good for a physician/pediatrician's office ... not a personal residence!

What this needs as a companioon pice is a big round red...or maroon, doesn't really matter...... rug to place under the center of it.

As I've said here before, just because you CAN do something...doesn't mean you should.

The proportions seem a bit off, like its too elongated. Make it so its not as long or a little wider, and I'm with peppermint-lover that it would be great in a doctor's office, or maybe a kid's room.

I love it and am grossed out by it simultaneously.

Not in my house, but clever at the Dr's office.

Funny in a doctor's office, horrifying anywhere else.

I would probably like this if I wasn't grossed out by band aids. But I agree with others... I would find this interesting in a doctor's office.

Band-aids are iconic, but they're also ugly. I don't think this looks good at all.

Since most of my family is in the medical field, I find this thing 'cute', but I wouldn't want it in my home.

It kind of falls into the 'clever' decorating items that I enjoy looking at but would never really want.

BandAids are so gross. Why would you want a huge one all over your floor? Sick.

Oh, that is vile. And there's no genius to the design- is there a message here we're missing?

Looks like an accident waiting to happen.

not. definitely not. it's like your giant houseguest took a shower and didn't notice the bandage got steamed off. ew. perhaps the average home isn't the ideal location for a giant novelty bandage rug. imagine its rightful calling on the floors of the nurse's office at MODE magazine.

Gag! What's underneath?

This strikes me as one designer's desperate bid for attention. Unfortunately, this is more kitsch than clever.

It would be a cute addition to a doctors office or in the kid area of the hospital. I wouldn't want it in my house or anything.

try to put it in an art gallery and try to give it some fancy name, then maybe...just maybe it would make sense why was such unnecesary thing was created.

And for those who think it's place would be in a doctor's office... why the need to be soooo literal and redundant....

absolutely pointless

OMG, how much fun would these be in a doctor's office or children's ward in a hospital?! i think it's great!....not for use at home of course.

This would be hilarious if it were located over a crack in the concrete floor.

Other than the fleeting humor - no. Just no.
