Seamour Sheep - Lame Excuse for a USB Lamp?

Seamour Sheep - Lame Excuse for a USB Lamp?

We have talked many times about the weird USB gadgets we come across on a weekly basis. One of the weirdest that sticks in my mind was the USB Pole Dancer. But one of the strangest devices using our beloved USB port in recent days is the Seamour Sheep Radioactive Edition. The $69 plastic sheep character is made to support the Seamour Sheep comic strip, which we have never heard of.

The sheep essentially is made from translucent plastic and the maker says that the retail versions have better eyes and eyelashes that aren't seen in the photos here. When you plug the sheep into a USB port, it glows with a sickly green color that goes well with the radioactive symbol on its side. Rather than having to unplug the sheep when you want to turn it off, you do a little sheep tipping. Putting the sheep on its side turns the light off and setting it back on its feet turns it on. Video demo after the jump.
