Wiimote earrings are simply unfair

by Justin McElroy { Sep 28th 2007 at 3:30PM }

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

Its alright, Fernando. I still like you.

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.
