Legally a Couch, Actually a Joke
In the gun control debate one of the measures that's emerged as a way to get guns off the street is a gun buyback program. The concept is that to get guns off the street the government will buy your guns from you. One of the counter-arguments for this surfaced in the form of an image of a piece of wood with a metal pipe going through it. There was an area for gunpowder and a firing mechanism, so this was technically counted as a gun and bought back by the government, however everyone knows this was not a dangerous weapon nor the intent of the program. This couch is that pipe/wood gun. Technically and legally speaking, yes this is probably categorized as a couch. It has fabric and when constructured does resemble the form of a couch or sofa-like object. However, functionally it is not a couch. I don't even know where to begin describing what's wrong with it - just picture what you want in a couch and then picture not having those things. It's extremely uncomfortable and feels like it's going to break in 10 different places. If you are thinking of taking a chance since it's $300 and Amazon's return policy is pretty good....that's another negative here as the cushions are essentially vacuum sealed and impossible to put back in the original packaging which is the only thing the seller accepts as returns. Seems like a crazy coincidence that really benefits the seller. I regret everyday that I was stupid enough to buy this couch and every time I stare at the poorly re-packaged boxes in my living room (which I'm in the process of trying to return) I'm struck by a feeling of primitive remorse reminding me of my own faults, stupidity and even mortality.
