Shouting Vase

Control your anger…put it in a vase.
When life gets difficult you may just want to scream, but sometimes you aren’t in a place where that is an option.
Though I can’t understand why anyone would want to pay $79 to scream into a pot. I can see it being useful for someone who has no control over the tone of their voice but this thing doesn’t even stop sound completely, it only softens it.
You can find this product at the link below but I can sell you a dirty sock and some duct tape even cheaper with a guarantee that you will get the same results.

Well i guess when you run out of ideas for products you come up with new (ridiculous) uses for old ones.

Well if you live in an apartment complex and you get angry a lot you may like to shout. However you cannot shout because it would annoy the neighbours, so voila you have a jug you can shout into which the neighbours won’t hear.

I imagine it would be difficult to take someone with a friggen vase stuck to their face very seriously, even if they were yelling. Fights would be defused by sheer ridiculousness… or you might throw it at the asshole for laughing while you’re clearly pissed.

Can you bottle the screams and let them out later?

I love the Japanese. They have the weirdest solutions to the most non-existent problems. The only question I have is can you get a shouting vase from a vending machine?

Actually, this shouting vase makes total sense in light of Asian collectivist culture. The Japanese, for instance, would generally believe that it is rude to scream/holler/foist ones frustrations and negative emotional outpourings on others merely because they happen to be unfortunate enough to be standing nearby. We Canadians likely understand this device as well, being a generally polite and socially conscious culture.
In comparison, it is not a huge surprise that individual-idealizing American culture doesn’t quite “get” this one. I imagine few of you have any reservations about unleashing your loud, angry vitriol on anyone and everyone in earshot when something goes wrong - hell, they deserve it for existing within arm’s reach of your mighty pissed-offedness, don’t they?.
Seems to me a lot of you COULD use a shouting vase, you just don’t realize it.
