Homer Simpson waterproof radio

The best bath-time invention since water

If you told us we could share a bath with a fat, yellow simpleton, we wouldn't be too interested. That bit from The Shining still gives us the creeps.

If you then said what you were actually talking about was this Homer Simpson floating radio, however, we'd have different ideas.

Completely waterproof, just chuck Homer in the tub, crank him into action with a twist of the Duff beer can resting on his ample belly and get listening. There's nothing as fancy as DAB or internet radio, and to be honest the single speaker is located a little too close to his privates to get in close for a listen.

But this is kitsch comedy riddled with opportunities to quote the legendary father figure and rehash all his gags and catchphrases. Thankfully, we're far too highbrow for that.

And at £20, it's not exactly a lot of "d'oh" to shell out. Sorry, couldn't help it.
