I prefer to pretend like those don't exist on that site and you've conveniently ruined that for me.

That pic reminds me of one of my favourite wacky guitars, the Teuffel Birdfish:

Yes, I think those are cool.  8)
The bodies - found/recycled wood - and finishes look super.  A little house paint and a nice clear coat can go a long way to making a plain guitar look special.
