Tech that's just wrong

Every now and again, we'll come across a piece of technology that works just fine, does exactly what it's supposed to, and yet, and yet... Something about it just isn't right. We can't put our finger on why, but even thinking about it makes us feel a bit funny. This is technology that's just... wrong.

Crave UK has highlighted, in no particular order, some of the inventions that we could happily live without, and would in fact prefer if they'd never been invented. We've placed each wrongosity onto our patented "Scale of Wrong" to show where they fit into the grand scheme of wrongness--are they more Steve McQueen looking icey-cool or Steve Ballmer dancing like a loon? Click here to judge for yourself.

This article had an annoying and pointless layout. It never really said anything and didn't get to the point.
