The Futurama Cyclops Hat is Perfect for Feigning Heteronomy
Marissa Brassfield — June 16, 2011 — Pop Culture
Futurama fans will recognize this brain slug beanie immediately, but for those who are unaware, the Futurama Cyclops Hat by Full Circle Handmade is a toque modeled after a space parasite that attaches itself to a host's head and controls his or her actions.
The crocheted green hat has two tiny antennae, a single white eye and a black button for a pupil. What's particularly convenient about the Futurama Cyclops Hat is that when you're wearing it, you could theoretically feign heteronomy -- that you're being controlled by forces other than reason.
Full Circle Handmade offers a five-year warranty for all of her creations, which is perfect for situations in which your brain slug beanie meets a substance it can't master.
