Static non-powered objects with FACES #14: A bottle opener

We are straying into dangerous "on purpose" facial territory with this one, but, after careful analysis, we have decided that the features are all there for a reason and this therefore counts as a non-on-purpose face.



"Excuse the rubbish photo, but I'd been drinking far too much cider (I'm in Somerset) when I took a photo of 'Steve the Fish's bottle opener', attached. You had a huge collection of Nokia phone box photos sent in by Daryl who works for me, so if you do publish this then could you clarify whether (that) a things with faces photo beats old lifestyle photos" - DT.

ADJUDICATION
We enjoy lifestyle photography more than inanimate things with faces, so, sadly, the Nokia box photograph update wins in this instance.

We have strayed so far into "on purpose facial territory" we're about to get urinated on by a smiley.

Daring choice for a background though. 6/10.

What's the reason for the ears and eyes that isn't "put there to make it look like a face" then?

I like a bit of scraping the bottom of the barrel as much as the next man, but Alessi kitchen implements? What's next, celebrities with faces?

The ears are for opening cellophane packets and the eyes are locating points for the metal tooth section.

The genre is ruined! This on purpose face forsakes the point of the whole thing! -> :-(

This works on so many levels - pure brilliance.

Yes it has a face, but it could be a "toy" for exploring your "female side", or it could represent evey males image of the female form - a hole with teeth.
