Struggling to find the right piece for your living room that's both modern yet comfortable? Trendy yet unique? Stop wasting your time scrounging for thrift "mid-century" pieces at over-priced boutiques, and check out the Droog Hit Chair.

When your Droog Hit Chair arrives in the mail, it appears to be nothing more than your standard steel cube -- no frills, kind of boring, and not particularly useful. But also included in the package is your very own Droog sledgehammer, with which you're supposed to beat your new $5,824 "chair" into submission -- molding it with your unchecked aggression until it's just the right fit for your backside.

Or, if you're too lazy to mold the chair yourself, you can order a pre-smashed version -- for a premium, of course. Expect to pay $6,718 for the pleasure of owning a model beaten by Droog himself.

Holy crap this is such a scam.
