You’ve seen his “blow in the ear” light switch all over the intertubes. Now learn more about the maniac behind the world’s most utilitarian sex to– er, household fixture.

I hear the original concept used a vagina, but, y'know... vag farts.

This is not Chris Haines. But wouldn't it be awesome if it were?
Chris Haines is a lighting/furniture/graphic designer, and a hero. Not the kind of hero you look up to, because if you admire Chris, you’re probably a mental defective hovering at the dark edges of society. He’s definitely not the kind of hero who triumphs over adversity, since he appears to voluntarily live in Rhode Island. Nor is he the kind who rescues kittens from trees, because from what I can tell, Chris would just take the kitten, dip it in plastic, shove a 10-watt bulb up its ass, and try to use it as an Itty Bitty Book Light.
But Chris Haines is a hero all the same. He’s a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, and –despite all the evidence in his online portfolio– gainfully employed. In my opinion, the school should lose all accreditation, but I think his employer is to be applauded; it takes all sorts of compassion to keep someone this demented –and no doubt socially awkward– on the payroll. There must be whole pages in the Employee Handbook about not standing too close to Chris and how to best avoid eye contact, lest he decide to manufacture an iPad case out of your scrotal skin.

Chris calls this his Spring Lounge. I call that bullshit. I know a Bouncy Sex Chair when I see one. Chris: "You can't sit on it with out a big smile on your face or bursting into uncontrolled laughter." Let's just leave your penis out of this, man.
According to his resumé, “Chris Haines grew up being obsessed with redesigning everything he saw and wanting to make things function better or be more aesthetically pleasing.” Which explains why his little sister disappeared abruptly at age eight, right around the time an amazingly realistic, inexplicably heavy ceramic gnome showed up in Momma Haines’ tomato garden.

Clever lighting installation, or pieces of an unfortunate drifter who picked the wrong backyard for a shortcut? You decide.
I think we should all take this opportunity to salute Chris Haines, the master designer from Rhode Island, the state that gave us fellow artiste DJ Pauly D and fellow sociopath Stewie Griffin. Because if we don’t, he might end up using our jawbones as toilet-paper dispensers. Just sayin’.

Look at this and tell me he isn't just a clown painting or two away from John Wayne Gacy.
Here’s a link to Chris’s blog. You can also follow him on Twitter, but beware… he might follow you back.
