If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “death metal is great… but the speakers just take away from the experience”, than these are the speakers for you.

They are a limited edition so act fast.  The skulls look more monkey than human though.  I am not sure if that affects the price.  Maybe I’m wrong.  The last biology class I took was in high school.

Japan took another step towards hell today with this product.  Being sold by the devil, their are more costumes than you could shake a stick at, of course you probably wouldn’t shake a stick at these, that’s more of a dog thing I guess.  Ya, I’m not always on, leave me alone.

Just in time for valentines day we have 10 new Swarovski MPlayers from iRiver.  No word on pricing, but you can expect it to be more than they’re worth.  Walt Disney is probably rolling over in his grave.  That’s right, Walt Disney wasn’t frozen (thanks Snopes!). Mod -2 Off Topic.

If there were any more recognized holidays in a year our lives would be nothing more than taking down last months holiday decorations and putting up this months.  Easter is nearly upon us and it brings a plethora (thanks Three Amigos!) of new annoying decorations with it.  Like take a look at these egg(?) lights.  We are pretty sure they are egg lights.  Either that or some new masochistic sex toy.

Its that time of the year again. Time for people to quit smoking for 2.5 days. Time for people to eat an apple instead of a candy bar on January 1st. Time for people to buy a year long gym membership only to use the first week. That’s right. New Years. Nothing says annoying New Years tech like the Times Square ball. Look at this thing.

From the article….

This year the 1,415-pound ball has been outfitted with more than 9,500 energy-efficient light-emitting diodes that will illuminate the ball’s more than 600 crystals. The LEDs will use the same amount of electricity as about 10 toasters, say event officials.

Toasters? Really? 10 of them, you say? What happens if that thing comes off the pole and kills those event officials? Rest assured guys, you can die a happy death knowing that your contribution to society has been great. Thanks!

Ugh. If you can't see this you're lucky.

We decided this would be the perfect first post for Obnoxious Mods. We wonder how NEC feels about having their name attached to this? The laptops specs are nothing special but what is special is the hideous Hello Kitty face staring out with its cold dead eyes scaring all other patrons in your Japanese upscale JPop coffee shop where you’d presumebly be taking this to try to pick up high school girls. Take it from us, the Swarovski crystals used to create this work of art (?) won’t work.

We give this a 4.
