they're like that in Prague too - be forewarned! If you're in America and are traveling to Europe, a lot of countries utilize that round plug around the three holes - this is different from the ones in France, which are either square or don't have molding around the holes (i.e. just holes in the wall for a plug) I couldn't charge my camera in Prague because the adapter wouldn't fit.

I wouldn't be able to plug anything into them without feeling like a rude bastard.

I can't help imagining going to plug in your vacuum or something, and just before you cram one in, all three start talking in unison, with shrill buzzing bee voices: "GOOD MORNING HOW ARE YOU TODAY."

I'd be tempted to feed them baby bottles and spoons of applesauce, but wouldn't dare because they are POWER PLUGS, for goodness sake! LOL!

I live in Denmark and those things always cheer me up :D In school we have ones with a "nose" (a screw in the middle of the "eyes" and the "mouth") too!

Has anyone seen facesinplaces.blogspot.com? Totally full of submishes like this, things that look like smiley happy faces! I hope the sender-inner will submit there too!

..It's funny, I always thought of power outlets as little faces..especially with the Hydro Quebec TV ads here..where they talk, look scared or happy and stuff..now I have even more proof with these Danish plugs..

Power outlets are PEOPLE TOO! o_o

This explains EVERYTHING! I love love love all things cute and I'm Danish! My friends think I'm wierd but now I know it's genetic!

As a child I always felt guilty when I plugged stuff in because the outlets always looked so distressed; how much happier my childhood would have been I had lived in Denmark. *sigh*

Happy outlets make happy electrons!

Yay! Three happy forest spirits from Princess Mononoke!

Yes! Kodamas ftw, Fransouah! If only they'd make that noise and wink in and out of existence.

Bonjour,

This power outlet is absolutely not Danish. It simply is European standard.

Exception for the very new member states, you should find this outlet all over the continent.

Cheers

This is not correct, Georg. I live in Germany and our plugs do not have the little smiling mouth (unfortunately).

Man, I'm Danish and I've never thought about this before! LOL..

Btw, this page should show what types of plugs you use around the world.

It's an outlet that screams, "Jam a fork in me, kids!"

Beppo
 |  Jan 06, 2008 at 06:24 AM

Oh ho! They look so much happier and cuter than our plugs. I've always thought ours just looked kind of scurred.

"That safety woman wanted to sell us covers for the power outlets. But I'll just draw bunny faces on them to scare Maggie away."
"She's not afraid of bunnies."
*ominous* "She will be."
Homer would have better luck drawing convincing bunny faces on these, but that's not entirely a good thing ...

Did the person who designed these intend them to look like smileys, or did they just come out that way? Does anyone know?

This kind of plug looks like it needs a sweat drop on its face.
