Wiimote earrings are simply unfair
Sometime this year, there is going to be a party. There, a young man will meet a girl. For all her charms, her cat-eye glasses, her appreciation for David Bowie, one thing is going to stick with him. The one image he won't be able to shake as the haze of the night gives way to the cruel, golden rays of the sun cutting through his apartment blinds will be her Wiimote earrings. ... And it's just not fair.Ladies, don't nerds have enough difficulty in the dating scene without girls walking around sporting Wiimotes on their ears? How is a guy supposed to not fall for a girl like that? You know what it is? It's dirty pool. Also, we're worried they might attract the wrong element. Sure, the earrings are kitschy, but they're also going to inspire the kind of manic devotion reserved for young John Cusack and stalkers. Listen girls, feel free to purchase to your hearts' content. Just don't come crying to us when the portly guy with the "Wow, I hope that's a Magic deck" bulge in his jeans leers your way.

Crono (NDF - French Taunting from Holy Grail Ring) @ Sep 28th 2007 3:57PM

Sharpie @ Sep 28th 2007 3:58PM

(stupid reply system)
Neebs @ Sep 28th 2007 3:58PM
I don't hate you, Fernando.
mr nimblewick (SegaDF - Jogurt Ring) @ Sep 28th 2007 4:01PM
I like you Fernando, but I think it's generally agreed upon that my opinion isn't valid.
Jerk Face @ Sep 28th 2007 4:02PM
Yeah, man. I'm down with the F-Train.
JodyAnthony (FDF - Hedonism Bot) @ Sep 28th 2007 4:10PM
i am also down with the f-train. i love readiing your comments
that being said, that was just comedy gold. mainly because i had just seen that episode of the simpsons where sideshow bob is mayor in that italian town and homer says "i never went to college" and bob says "stop the presses." in a completely deadpan way, and thats what d-pad reminded me of
Night Elve @ Sep 28th 2007 4:20PM
It's not you, it's me.
ssuk @ Sep 28th 2007 4:47PM

Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Sep 28th 2007 4:56PM
I've got the keychain too Fernando. Let's be franz.
blooh (CDF - Ass Ring) @ Sep 28th 2007 3:38PM
the wiimote doesnt say wii on the bottom of it though
mr nimblewick (SegaDF - Jogurt Ring) @ Sep 28th 2007 3:39PM
The wiimote does, in fact, say Wii at the bottom.
Fernando Rocker (NDF - Water Ring) @ Sep 28th 2007 3:40PM
Wrong. The Wiimote does have the Wii word on the bottom.
Sean @ Sep 28th 2007 3:48PM
My Wiimote says "Wee" at the bottom.
blooh (CDF - Ass Ring) @ Sep 28th 2007 8:08PM
oops. guess i should've checked first, i haven't looked at one in months
ThornedVenom @ Sep 29th 2007 3:42AM
C-C-C-Combo breaker!!!
OhJustSomeRandomGuy @ Sep 28th 2007 3:40PM
I'm all for these.
I can instantly know who not to bother talking to. Look how shoddily "Wii" is painted onto earrings. This looks like some kid's crappy Jr. High school ceramics project.
For all you people who are going to try and play the "Let's see you make better" card, all I have to say is, if you're actually trying to extort $15 + shipping for those pieces of crap, you deserve all the scorn I can heap upon you and then some.
Thia @ Oct 5th 2007 1:21PM
You, my dear, are not as badass as you like to think you are. And you need to pay attention. Maybe do a little research before making snarky comments like that, too.
The Wii remotes are an INCH high, quarter-inch wide. That's about the height of a quarter. They are 100% sculpey polymer clay, NO PART, AT ALL, is painted. AT ALL.
OhJustSomeRandomGuy @ Oct 5th 2007 1:28PM
That's fine and dandy. Now explain to me the part where anyone in their right mind would agree to buy something that's shit quality because it's not painted.
FrankTheCrank @ Sep 28th 2007 3:47PM
If I was dating some chick who was wearing Wii earrings, I wouldn't be able to get past the earrings. I would be looking at the earrings the whole time and saying to myself, "this chick is a corndog".
There wouldn't be a second date, unless she was a D cup.
JodyAnthony (FDF - Hedonism Bot) @ Sep 28th 2007 3:51PM
what if she wears a d-pad
Sean @ Sep 28th 2007 3:53PM
Does the "d" stand for "dick?"
d-pad @ Sep 28th 2007 3:54PM
D-Cup?
For all I care, she can hang life size PS3's from her ears.
It's all good, baby.
Sharpie @ Sep 28th 2007 3:56PM
i dont, actually i enjoy your comments every day.

Oh Christ, LOL..
Fullmetal Salchemist @ Sep 28th 2007 4:14PM
"her cat-eye glasses, her appreciation for David Bowie,"
That's like the perfect girl.
Unfortunately, I'm the "portly guy" described in the article.
Such is life.
Sean @ Sep 28th 2007 5:05PM
Portly dudes unite. *highfive*
Fullmetal Salchemist @ Sep 28th 2007 4:17PM
Also, if those came in 8 gauge, I'd totally wear them.
JS @ Sep 28th 2007 4:46PM
...just stick the entire thing through the hole in your ear! they look big enough to fit...
NintendoFanbot @ Sep 28th 2007 4:34PM
They could have been more proportionally accurate had he used Shrinky-Dinks.
Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Sep 28th 2007 4:58PM
Aww shit I gotta pierce my ears now? Lame.
Matthew Hilario @ Sep 28th 2007 7:54PM
where's the nose ring nunchuk attachment.
Tim @ Sep 29th 2007 3:25AM
I'm so gad I'm not a teenage boy anymore.
ThornedVenom @ Sep 29th 2007 3:44AM
Wiimotes as earrings are fine, as long as she doesn't have one in her pants.
