For the low, low price of 15000 Swedish Kronor (about $2,183 USD) you can have your very own two-of-a-kind Pac-Man rug. According to it’s sale page, the rug is made out of 100% wool and was hand-woven in Portugal. Though you’d think for that much money, they’d be able to at least make the ghosts look like ghosts and Pac-Man look like, I don’t know, freakin’ Pac-Man. Is it really that hard to make a yellow circle with a piece cut out of it? I can already hear the conversations the people who actually buy these rugs are going to have:
“Hey, Bob. Looks like you did some redecorating. What’s that on the floor over there.”
“I’m glad you asked, Bill. That’s a genuine Pac-Man rug
“Wow, did you make it yourself or get it at a garage sale or something.”
“Nope, I paid over $2,000 for it online.”
“Really? I paid about$1,500 for a rug awhile back. It’s from an ancient temple in Asia somewhere. And it flies…through time.”
“Er…”
“So what does your rug do?”
“Well it sits on the ground and looks like a three-year old’s finger-painting of a Pac-Man grid, sort of.”
“…I see.”

This phails…
