Forged In Asgard, The Thor Ice Scraper

Posted: 03 Jan 2012 11:54 AM PST

Alright, kidding! Kidding! No terrestrial quasi-mythic Nordic entities were responsible for the creation of this handy tool. That was just done to grab attention. But the branding of this novel ice scraper from Quirky is definitely strategic. It was named Thor for a reason–to vanquish the encrusting ice from your car. Okay, fine, so scraping ice doesn’t cut it as an epic task but in this day and age of post-industrial consumerism, epic tasks are best found in video games. (Skyrim!)

Then again, some people might dig walking around in a Wookie Hoodie–and yes, it’s called the Chewbacca Furry Zip. It’s a hand wash susceptible 100% polyester garment that goes really well with not bathing for a few weeks and speaking in grunts.

According to a recent report by Kara Swisher from All Things D, Apple has a media event planned this month which will apparently be held in New York, and the event is reportedly related to “a media-related announcement”.

If the report is correct then we wont see Apple announced their iPad 3 or their Siri powered HDTV, so instead it could be something related to publishing or advertising or possibly software.
