Un Cool Hunting

Cool Hunting is the search for what is going to be cool. The key is that once something becomes popular, it’s luster is lost. Therefore, cool hunters look for what is NOT cool – yet. However, along the way, any cool hunter is bound to find a lot of stuff that is horribly uncool and extremely funny. Un Cool Hunting is a place to document that stuff.


Bizarre Trends

Face it, we love words like: bizarre, strange, obscure and shocking! Only the bizarre trends end up getting forwarded to your friends, so Un Cool Hunting is dedicated to those trends.


Excess

Stuff that is over the edge is always entertaining. Un Cool Hunting is all about sensory overload.

Coloured Animals - The Green Puppy Coloured Animals - The Green Puppy

No, this little puppy wasn’t born in a highlighter factory. In fact, there’s nothing wrong with him physically, he’s just unique in that he’s, well, green. If I were the owner, I’d take full advantage and pitch him to ad agencies. Imagine, the world’s first green puppy would be the ultimate mascot for all things eco-friendly! Unfortunately, they’d have to act fast. The Veterinarians that examined the New Orleans-born pup said he probably won’t stay that colour. His lime green … [More]

The walk home for those awkward occasions has often been referred to as the Walk of Shame, but this video ad wants to re… [More]









Lunar Real Estate - Can Corporations Claim Lunar Property?Lunar Real Estate - Can Corporations Claim Lunar Property?

Recent discussions of property rights n the moon has pointed out an interesting point - that the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 makes it legal for corporations to claim lunar property.

Giant Dutch Street Art - Henk Hoftra's Art Eggcident (GALLERY)Giant Dutch Street Art - Henk Hoftra's Art Eggcident (GALLERY)

The fake giant river painted on Dutch streets a few months ago must have been a hit, because now another giant street mural has been created in the Netherlands, this time featuring images of giant fried eggs. The Art Aggcident will be on display in a giant urban square for the next six months in L… [More]



Mechanical Bugs - Art by Mike Libby (GALLERY)Mechanical Bugs - Art by Mike Libby (GALLERY)

What do you get when you put together a bug and an old watch? Don't know? Mike Libby solved this riddle by creating works of art from a combination of the two. It happened when the discovery of a dead beetle left him wondering how it would look if it were mechanical inside. Out came an old watch a… [More]



Hygienic Shockvertising II - Carre Fresh: Wipe Whatever You've Touched (GALLERY)Hygienic Shockvertising II - Carre Fresh: Wipe Whatever You've Touched (GALLERY)

My favorite TrendHunter, Lourdes recently shared a truly disgusting and troubling (for anyone with insect phobia) campaign with us that illustrated the importance of hand sanitizers through the use of insects.

Teach Fish Tricks - R2 Fish School (VIDEO)Teach Fish Tricks - R2 Fish School (VIDEO)

I am a great believer in education, but sometimes I question whether it is necessary to teach skills to creatures other than humans. Dogs are trained to find drugs or chase criminals, so I guess that's fine, but goldfish? Now, thats a stretch.... The R2 Fishschool provides a training kit that is fa… [More]



Free Range Humans - Disturbing Pro-Vegan AdsFree Range Humans - Disturbing Pro-Vegan Ads

Here is a marketing idea I hope NEVER becomes a popular trend. If there ever was a picture worth a thousand words, this could be it. I was mortified when I saw it, and for the record, I'm not a vegetarian. The "Free Range Whole Human" was packaged in plastic wrap, in the posture of a Thanksgiving… [More]

Wildlife Hairstylists - Animal ToupeesWildlife Hairstylists - Animal Toupees

We've featured baby toupees because no one wants to be bald. We've also seen hairpieces for cats, wigs for dogs, and now there are animal toupees. Contrary to human hair trends, a dog should never be teased for sporting a mullet, a bowl cut, or even a flock of seagulls. This trend is: not functi… [More]



Animated iPod DJs - FUNkitAnimated iPod DJs - FUNkit

I have seen a lot of weird iPod speakers. Some can be taken underwater, some look like eggs, but this one certainly takes the cake. The FUNkit DJ Animated iPod Speaker System is a robot which is programmed to twist, turn and even scratch the dummy turntables to the music, always keeping up with the… [More]

Musical Sinks - The X-Light SurroundMusical Sinks - The X-Light Surround

A musical washbasin is not such a bad idea... unless you wake up with a hangover from hell and are prone to agitation due to any type of noise. Other than that, the X-Light Surround basin, devised by Italian fixture makers WET and designed by Jan Puylaert, is pretty cool. The musical sink will reg… [More]
