From OP's comment

should be dysfunctional, for only in its "functionlessness" can it fullfill its lack of purpose

Consider:

Some questions to ask yourself when wondering if something is kitch are:

• "Is it tacky?"

• "Does it serve any practical purpose?" and finally
• "Does it devalue someone or something that is extremely famous or valued?"

If the answers to these questions are: "yes, no, yes," then it is probably kitch.

Being the pain in the butt that I am I would argue that any such things practical purpose is to make people stare at it and wonder what its purpose is.

That isn't to say I ascribe to form over function or form following function. I think the two are in a never ending dead lock with neither being the beginning or the end.

I also think kitschy knick knacks are a fun way to annoy people.
