While Al Gore was campaigning for president, Spike Jonez was asked to make a video. He went on vacation with the Gore family and managed to capture the presidential candidate with his guard down. I wish this had been released during the campaign.

This is a genius idea - there are two rods perpendicular to each other, one for the curtain, and one for your towel. This kind of efficient use of space is genius. The only catch is that it’s $50, and in real life, that towel bar would be pretty tall.
