Clearly the folks at Compressed Pattern are ahead of their time

The 'design professionals' over at Compressed Pattern ('A Multi-Disciplinary Design Studio', and, really, thank god too 'cause I'm sick of wasting my money at Single-Discipline Design Studios) in scenic Oregon put their pointy heads together and came up with something the world was absolutely not waiting for: Kattbank™.

Yes, Kattbank™ (presumably annunciated with a poorly performed German accent), for all of a COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS (!!!?????!!!!), or more (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????????!!!!!!!), you too can own this , um, entirely average-looking, feeble stab at 'design', that could easily be made in your garage for about thirty bucks. The genius behind this idea ought to be strung up, hung by his/her toes, and pelted with all the feline dung one Kattbank™ (or two!) can conceivably hold.

I've got to imagine that these purdy little catpans are just flying off the shelves! I bet the peeps at Compressed Pattern are so busy painting and nailing these things together that they have almost no time at all to pick out the tired wallpaper they otherwise would for the next Portland area bagel shop that's foolish enough to hire them. I'd like to see the three of them, with their little hair-dos, on the cover of Time magazine's first ever Designers Of The Year issue and given all the accolades they clearly deserve! Thank god for Kattbank™! I used to just flush my money down the toilet or toss it in the fireplace, but now there's an easier way! Hallelujah!

Seriously, who doesn't want to spend 2k on a litterbox? I mean, hell, my cardboard desk cost me almost four grand, so why would I go cheapy on where my beloved Mr. Snuggles pee-pees and poo-poos?

Clearly, anything worth having should be really expensive, right?? So, by that way of thinking all good design should cost lots of money so as to keep it out of the hands of the plebeians, thus making those who can afford it feel special. And, by extension, awful, bat-shit stupid, design should cost TONS of money so as to keep anyone from buying it, and thereby giving the smug designer a reason to sniff into their brandy glass, and bemoan the fact that they're just ahead of their time (and get back to picking out that tired wallpaper).

Thanks, Compressed Pattern! Best of luck to you all!
