Lawn spheres FTW!

Lawn discs less so.

"'Muwi' is the natural act that surpasses human consciousness, defining a perfect act." - Wait, isn't this a lawnmower?

I love how those wacky Japanese attach such lofty words to a contraption that makes grass balls.

Theravada

Wanna come over and play with my grassy balls?

Because those toys won't fall apart the second a significant force is applied to them. I see nothing but frustration here. They should have marketed the wafers as more of a way to keep the clippings out of your lawn than a seat.

SgtToastie

I think the "toys" would make great kindling for campfires and fireplaces, once they dried out.

But to play with them would kill me.

I love the complex word usage thing. Look, we should have a word for complex idea compression into words! English is SO linear. We have to spell every single thing out. With the exception of words like "love".

The Russians are particularly notorious for having super complex words. Because they are (or were) a very poetic culture, they compressed very complex emotions into single words. I can't remember where I read this concept. I believe it was the Unbearable Lightness of Being by Gibran. There is a word in there describing the feeling of standing by a lake remembering a past loved one. Holy crap!

WHAT? O.O

Night Shift. Lawnmower Man. Green drool. Picking mole parts outta my teeth.

That's all I see here.

scarbrtj

OMFG, I just had a vision of this lawnmower over a field of weed o.O

SewerShark

Wouldn't it be easier to just shred the grass to a fine flaky consistency, like those cheapo parsley flakes that come in plastic shakers?

It'd certainly be better for the lawn and better for the environment.

So, based on the illustration, the lawn mower is the size of an oil drum. Oil drum sized round WALL-E's running around pooping green discs and blobs in your lawn. Nice.

@Kaiser-Machead's WALL-E fetish: Well, you can lay your "balls" on the grass then =P

SewerShark

@Hectorvex: Playroom would mean they let them into the house. I think you mean cabana or shed.

@Hectorvex: But...but...amo bolas de la hierba!

Kaiser-Machead's WALL-E fetish

So the lawn would be automatically mowed, but you still have to walk around and pick up random grass discs and balls. Not only that, but what about sticks or the occasional whiffle ball that has made it's way in front of the mower? This (assuming it ever gets produced) is just another rich people toy. However, I don't even see them buying it as they already have a playroom full of mexicans fixing their lawns.

Hectorvex

It's like a demented WALL-E-turned-hippie.

@Git Em SteveDave displays attention-grabbing vanity: I was just making a relative comparison to the amount of workers on staff. The only ones in the house are Dominican.

Hectorvex

You put your WEED in there...

The_Archon

@SewerShark:
It could automatically serve out baggies at various sizes!

@LordRoY:I thought kindling when I saw these also.

Gann

@Theravada: i believe that's korean, not japanese. the designer is trying to explain the word "muwi" in english, and from that you can see how the name relates to the idea of the product.

tr

it's all fun and games until someone get's hit in the face with a dog poop filled grass disc/ball

kborer22

Who has grass that's THIS nice looking though? Golf courses?

@Git Em SteveDave displays attention-grabbing vanity: Now you can have something to fill your bra. If I said underwear, that would be just too much of a dig :P.

jkr's bold comment

Roomba for your lawn? Lawnba? Complete with realistic robot droppings? Maybe I'm evil, but the implications of compressed balls of fresh lawn shavings makes me want to throw them at people with allergies....

zayden

@arkitect75: agreed.

Although, it would be neat if it could make cubes and pyramids too. Damnit, what's the painting I'm thinking of with the orange pyramids and the weird shapes?

rabiddachshund

@FrankenPC: So? There is a word in Latin the literally translated means: To force another man/boy to suck your c0ck.

Not to mention my personal favorite (ecfutouo (sp?)): To be tired from excessive sex.

And this is the language used quite often in the Vatican?

bpapa9013

@Git Em SteveDave displays attention-grabbing vanity: That didn't take long!

BTW, why have a lawn anyway? I mean seriously, how ridiculously wasteful is it to grow grass only to keep cutting it every week? Make a real garden instead.

Sean Robertson

The two characters together could be translated as "without effort" or "without cost".

In light of that, it makes the Engrish in the ad more understandable.

winter_in_asia

Uh, sorry Mrs. Jones. Your little buffy seems to have been playing in our yard again. Um, I am just going to set him on your porch here, and uh, well, have a good day.

willyboy

I'm not sure if I'd play with my grass balls.

hagrun

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the pic was lawnmower patties. The second... lawnmower droppings.
I either need a vacation or some counseling. Or both.

CaptCaveman

Allergy dodge ball... as long as you don't have a dog.

Final

Finally. The summertime equivalent to snowballs.

@Kaiser-Machead's WALL-E fetish: Yo tambien, por lo menos las que son para fumar.

mildretard

Compressing wet/green grass will result in combustion.

That's why farmers don't bail green grass and let it dry into hay. These "toys" will also reek after a couple of days.

weird

Most of these "concepts" are completely useless. You actually have to be able to build something.

jeblis

i'll hold out for the muwiid, it can cut my 'grass' and output rolled joints.

@strider_mt2k: Lawn Darts, HELL YES!

Lawn patties?

It poops toys!!! FTW

@Sean Robertson: I keep the lawn for the horses. They like the grass.
