SOme ideas are really stupid......................

[driftdiver]

umm yeah Darwin must be running low.

[Graybeard58]

You said it!

Excuse me officer, I need to answer a call...

“Yesterday a man was shot 422 times while simply attempting to answer his cell phone. Fortunately, he was white so there’s no need for concern.”

[WayneS]

The manufacturer appears to have misunderstood my request.

A while back I emailed them and asked them them to design a really good gun holster that looks like a cell phone case...

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

Maybe if everything were shaped like a gun...

[Norm Lenhart]

Looks like Darwinism in actin. We don’t need people this stupid contributing to carbon dioxide emissions anyway.

[al baby]

I think it’s a great idea, for start thinning the heard

[Ed Condon]

I can recall cigarette lighters that looked like a “Saturday Night Special”, but very few people smoke now.

[MarchonDC09122009]

This product is racist and proves that cell phone can be a serious health hazard.
Would be terrible if it’s use caught on with urban amish gangbangers.

[envisio]

That is really stupid.
Although around here it would not be out of the ordinary but I can see some weenies in yuppyville GASPING at the sight.

I’ll bet whoever invented it is going to be sitting on a yacht counting his money when it all blows over.

“”””Why would you want to make yourself look like a threat?””””

Think about the mentality of that statement.
A person with a gun is a threat. WOW someone graduated at the top of the indoctrination.

A person with a gun is a threat. WOW someone graduated at the top of the indoctrination.

In the context of sitting at dinner and someone pulls that out of their back pocket? Or while riding on a bus? You shouldn't ordinarily be brandishing or advertising possession of a firearm in an innocuous public setting.

[Repeal The 17th]

“...few people smoke now...”
-
Only about 40 million people in the U.S. at last estimate, about 1 in 5 for adults.

[SpaceBar]

Looks like a Pop-Tart with a few bites taken out.

[moovova]

That’ll help thin out the herd.

Stupid iPhone 5 case looks like a gun. Most dangerous product you could carry in today's era of "shoot first and ask questions later." Gang bangers, do not use this case in you down-around-your ankles pants unless you have a suicide-by-cop urge. I posted an article similar to this one from C-Net on the Fourth and the admin moderator claimed it was a solicitation for the purchase of the product even though it explicit carried warnings from police and DA departments. . . and the first sentence said it was perhaps the most dangerous product ever.

The seller had already pulled it from their online catalog by then as well. — PING!

Stupid iPhone case case Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Looks like it might be a Jap product. Oriental girls in the photos?

Perhaps they don’t worry about consequences for this kind of thing so much.

[Wasichu]

Don’t take that to school!!

I seem to recall a couple years ago where some store in NYC had to pay a big fine for selling “replica guns” without a license. (They were lighters!)

AH - here it is! $60,000!!!
