I love this pillow designed to look like a realistic fish - it is of course from Japan and incredibly bizarre. I think keeping this in theme with the other furnishings in the room could be a tad tricky too. I am particularly fond of the fishy cushion's supermarket-style packaging.
Also worth a mention is the equally realistic looking pizza cushion. My thoughts on this are pretty well the same as to those of the with salmon pillow.
