You’re the first thing I want to see when I get up

One of my friends is a big fan of wacky alarm clocks.

I have to wonder what she would think of this monstrosity:

Buyers looking to round out their evil toy collection should make room on the shelf for Mr. Clock Radio, “The Talking Robotic Clock Radio.” Coughed up by one of the upper levels of Dante’s Inferno and distributed by the otherwise good folks at Geewiz Entertainment, Mr. Clock Radio doesn’t just talk you into grim consciousness, he “performs” for you with 50 variations of soul-crushing banter and music. You can experience it all for yourself here.

Look at this thing:

Does anyone else get chills at that hoarse mechanical giggle followed by, “Waking up will never be the same with me around!”  I think that thing is controlled by Skynet.

And they’re already replicating!

Apparently you can plug in MP3 players too.  That should provide some awesome hilarity, considering we are living in the Golden Age of Musical Robot Hacking:
