Kickstarter has made a name for itself as one of the leading crowdfunding platforms, with a mission to bring creative projects to life. There is a vast array of projects to browse and even pledge money to. You only have to think of projects like Glyph from Avegant, the Pebble Smartwatch, or even Oculus Rift to realize how valuable Kickstarter is to budding inventors and entrepreneurs. However not everything you find is serious, genuine or even worth spending your money on. Take a look through our collection of some of the most bizarre campaigns ever started on Kickstarter.

I don't know what's more crazy - the project itself or the fact that people actually funded it!
