The queen of bad robots

Do you ever have ideas for completely useless inventions? Swede Simone Giertz has taken it to a whole new level. She describes herself as "the queen of bad robots, mistress of malfunctions and the mother of terrible inventions". They include: an alarm clock that slaps you awake, a machine for applying lipstick and a contraption for shampooing your hair. Simone videos herself making these things, puts them on the internet, and has a huge number of fans, but why does she do it? (Photo credit: Alba Giertz.)
