a most unusual bridge

Anyone seen one of these before? Is it a luthier device of some sort?

Dang! That's a new one... there is a wood bridge on the market that has those swivel feet (bad idea), but a synthetic option is quite odd...

I didn't know Fisher Price makes bass bridges.
Too bad it's not in a bright primary colour.

On Rockabillybass, there's a guy who makes bridges out of clear Lexan shaped like martini glasses. I don't see how they could stand up and not collapse, but he swears they're stable. Non-adjustable, of course.

That's ridiculous. I'm tempted to buy the thing, just to get a close look at it.
