Satellite dishes are design disasters. Looking at the main façade of a city apartment complex and seeing a line of dirty gray disks poke out of windows like plastic mushroom outgrowth is a double depresso shot of gadget neglect and bad design aesthetics.

But what would make it look even worse?  Wait, wait, I know. A rubbery square replacement satellite (called a Sqish), covered with camouflage sticker.

Unfortunately, instead of blending in nicely into the building, this satellite looks bizarre and surely won't work as a beauty enhancer. For the camo to even resemble an adjacent wall, the 'sqishes' would probably need to be seen from the front exclusively, and won't really reflect the true color of the environment.

The Sqish dish is available to Sky and Freesat customers in the UK. Believe it or not, it only costs $300 for this new satellite dish shape, and about $50 per customized 'Sqishoflage' sticker. That's a classy deal.

Yet this is not the only available opportunity for satellite dish-enhancement. SatelliteDishSticker.com offers you the opportunity to place a giant cat's face on your dish, because it can. Don't let this opportunity to pass you by.
