The Material Girl has come under fire many times in her career for her unique fashion sense, and she's not about to stop now. For the premiere of her new film, Filth and Wisdom (Madge is making her directorial debut), she wore a pair of Chanel stilettos with a handgun as the heel.

If you're like me (pray that you're not) then you probably already watch TV much like Elvis did, what with the cape and the fried pork and the taking care of the business. There is only one thing missing, shooting the television. Yes, Elvis was killing his television long before Ned's Atomic Dustbin put a beat to it, and any self-respecting Elvis fan would love to follow suit. The only thing that has kept me from doing so is, a) we don't allow guns in the house, b) I LOVE my TV, and c) I'm a Beatles guy. Still, it's tempting (especially during American Idol).

Enter the Sharp Shootin' Remote Control. It's a remote control for your television that looks like a pistol. You change the channel by squeezing the trigger. You don't like a particular show? Put a cap in its ass. I know, brilliant.

Did I mention that it has sound effects? That's right! Not only can you enjoy the thrill of shooting your television, but your neighbors can realize their fantasy of living next door to an armed lunatic. It's a win-win. (The sound is not that loud and very fake)

In case you're more gunslinger than rock star, the remote comes complete with a western sheriff's badge. Live the dream, cowboy.

If you're someone who likes to look authoritative, is a big action movie fan, or just has a soft spot for firearms and weaponry -- this is the bag for you!

Designer James Piatt, already known for his Brass Knuckle handbag (called the "PeaceKeeper"), has created the "Pursuader" -- fashioned after a machine gun. Assuming you're into the look, you'll also be into the cool cellphone compartment inside the clip.

And, even if you think the bag is tasteless and offensive, you might be interested in how it was constructed. Piatt has apparently a his own technique to interlock laser cut leather -- which means he was able to create the bag with no stitching whatsoever.

This will undoubtedly turn a few heads as you're walking down the street, including those of your local law enforcement -- probably something to keep in mind before you take your new Pursuader into government buildings, schools, liquor stores, or any other establishment that frowns upon lethal automatic weapons. Just sayin'.
