Plunger lamps

I love creative uses of ordinary items, but I don't think I ever would have thought of using an accordion style bathroom plunger for a lamp shade. Shown above are two different versions of "plunger lamps". The one on the left actually uses a rubber plunger base fitted with a socket and an accordion plunger for the lamp shade. On the right is one via instructables that uses the whole plunger. So what do you think, creative idea or just gross?
