This Gives "The Dark Side" New Meaning

The SyFy [sic] television network is demoing a new toaster at this years San Diego Comic-Con. You want be able to purchase it there, but you can purchase them at their online store—at $90.00 apiece, which, unless you're keeping in box as a collectors' item, strikes me as rather expensive. The Battlestar toaster is limited to 2,000 units. The toaster lights up while toasting, and produces toast with a Cylon on one side, and "Frak Off" on the other. The front of the toaster has a Cylon helmet-mask screen printed design, and the red LED "eye" lights up on the front of the toaster and moves across the helmet while engaged in, err, toasting.

Not to be outdone, Lucas Film is also unveiling their Darth Vader toaster; clad in "Darth black" plastic, the toaster burns an image of Darth's err, bust, onto a slice of toast; you can pre-order it online for a mere $54.99. While you're there, you might as well pick up a "Death Star" Cookie jar.

You know, I'm as rabid a fan as the next geek, but I'm now dreading a toaster that burns the "one ring" engraving in the Elvish script and the language of Mordor onto a piece of toast. If there is one already, please don't tell me; I really don't want to know.
