I'm positive you've seen tons of weird clocks. Remember Clocky, the alarm clock that rolls under your bed in order to make you get up and stop the alarm? Well, this is nothing like that. Don't be misled by its shape because this clock is not going to torment you until you get up.

The LED Capsule message clock is not even an alarm clock, so relax! Care for a massage? Sorry, care for a warm good morning message? Done! SUCK UK's (nice name!) clock has embedded LEDs that can be programmed to stream messages along with the time and date info. It's made from electronic stuff, so
there's no way this SUCK UK clock could suck. Right!

It seems that the producer wants us, suckers, to believe that this is some kind of time capsule. Is it? Let's check the storage specs. Hmm, it can only store up to 16 messages and up to 470 characters. That's clearly not enough space to preserve messages for the future generation. And since it has a "swear-word stopper", you can't even send 16 clear messages to your predecessors.

The clock can be either desk or wall mounted and it comes with a remote control that lets you program messages and also access them. The best part has to be the fact that it can help you communicate the bad news in a cool way. Just program this "Honey, I crashed the car yesterday!" message and head off to the slopes before your wife wakes up. The LED Capsule Message Clock is available for (cough) 360$.

Here are some specs:

-Acrylic casing
-Red LEDs
-Programmable clock or messages via remote control
-Wall fixings included
-Dimensions: 410 x 100 mm round, 1.5 kg
-2 included 2 X AAA batteries for the remote
