Stabby Hat Makes You Smile

Where was this hat in Sylvia Plath's day? A 22-year-old designer has created a cute little knit cap that literally stabs you in the skull until you smile. It's like Stepford Wife-chic! The claim is that "Through repeated use of this conditioning device you can train your brain to smile all the time." Goodbye sad affect, hello manufactured happiness! See creepy video after the jump.

Does this remind anyone else of the Happy Helmet in "Stimpy's Invention."

This is is song about a whale. No! This is a song about being happy. That's right, its the Happy Happy Joy Joy song

Why go with something impersonal like a hat?

I offer a unique service that does the same thing, with a caring human face committed to making your life better. I'll follow you around and if your unhappy or rude, I'll hit you with a bat and scream "Smile, Mother F*cker!". This way, you won't end up with multiple puncture marks from the stabber on this hat.
