supposedly catches dirty oil..
If it's catching enough to be noteable, (or to cause deposits in the case of not having a can installed), you might have a problem somewhere.
Otherwise, the tiny amount of oil that's generated in the breather system of a street car is probably a good thing for your intake valve seats.
That said, if someone wants one for looks, more power to 'em.

As Boxman stated, it catches the oil, whatever the amount, before it enters the intake. Toyotas are known for oiling the intake and I had Oil Catch Cans on both of my Celicas in the 80s.
If someone doesn't think its works, I'll take a pic of the hose that used to be clear.

well I believe that it works since I think in the manual somewhere it mentions the breather hose returning oil back to the engine via the air intake.
my question would be is that a bad thing? and why?

my brother has one in his car and all i can see is that it catches oil vapor as far as i know. theres a tube that shows how much oil is in the can but theres nothing inside and he has been using it about a year now.
heres a pic of his oil catch can (behind the strut bar). you can see that the tubes connecting from the air intake to the engine is just oil vapor...

This "AZZ" is just smarter than you so it just seems that way,,,,, kinda like an optical illusion! 
Why not just step up to the plate, admit you were the dumdass that bought one and it doesn't do jack except look nice. And be sure to tell how much you paid and if you would do it again. Sorry to have to call a spade a spade but that's the way I see it.
