Frame Napkin: Creating Art from Stains & Spills

I can hear the conversations around the table now — art or kitsch? Definitely kitschy but still a clever idea and perhaps the host can relax a bit more knowing that the napkin stains need not come out in the wash.

Putting a frame around a stain does not make it any less of a mess.

seems like a tacky way to say you are too lazy to do the wash.

Celebrating sloppy eating. Wow.

Maybe I'm too straight-laced or something, but this just grosses me out. Spilling all over your table isn't something to be proud of.

Hate. Disgust. I hope this is nothing more than a joke.

Looking at the choice of table mats I'm not surprised this contributor thinks stains are cool.

This IS a joke--I happen to think a funny one.
