I sense a disturbance in the sanity of the inventor of this product

Is there some inside joke I'm just not getting? Is there some Internet subculture of people who are into collecting freaky-deaky rubber ducks that light up when you put them in contact with water? (Blame the LED trend.) I mean, I think that's pretty cool, but then to stick a Darth Vader head on it? I'd really like to know who thinks of this stuff. I bet they have some interesting leafy green plants growing in their basements that certain government agencies might like to know about.

And I'd want to see the kid growing up with this lamp/toy/rubber duck/StarWaryish thingy. It would make for a good pyscology PhD thesis.
