My emotions aren’t the only thing I wear on my sleeve. No, I’m not some 14-year-old emo kid, I’m not talking about bandages around my wrists so don’t go calling the psych ward just yet. I’m talking about these awesome Master Chief Cufflinks. They go perfectly with my Master Chief jewelry.
Ok, NOW you can go call the psych ward.
If you’ve been looking for that perfect gadget to give your little bratty 12-year-old daughter who just happens to find My Chemical Romance “mucho suave,” as the kids say these days, the bulletproof heart, designed by Jörg Höltje, might be just the ticket to insure she is the coolest little hipster bitch in her middle school. Strategically designed to ward off bullets to her most sensitive organ, even the slightest squinty-eyed look from one of the Jonas Brothers should be properly shielded.
Now, as from protecting anyone from actual bullets? That’s a little trickier to explain. See, if they just happen to get shot anywhere but the heart, they’re pretty much screwed. But you could make the argument that the only thing worth living for is your heart anyway, or something like that? Whatever dude. Where’s my Taking Back Sunday album? Bonus: Would look great with the sissy Urban Security Suit.
Apparently, eco-friendly WiFi routers aren’t the only thing D-Link is in to. The FuChat, as it so appropriately named, is a cordless phone capable of making internet and land-line phone calls. That’s not all, this phone also has the function to detect changes of tone in a person’s voice and changes in body temperature, alerting the user of their current emotional state through an emoticon on the phone’s exterior, almost like the Robometer. The phone is made up of biodegradable plastic (that’s good for the environment, folks).
We can only imagine tampering with this phone to make it respond to emotions via audio samples. “You’re being an emotional cunt” and “quit your whining, sissy” are some examples of responses I’d love to see this phone tell its user. Anger management problems? This is the phone for you.

By now everyone in the world knows all about MySpace, and everyone and their mom has one in America. It was cool back when you were a freshman in high school, but once you get out of that stage then its time to either delete it altogether or keep it but don’t be completely obsessed over it. It is a little funny when people pour all of their emotions into their page, so maybe some of those obsessed kids (or adults) should keep theirs just for our own comic relief. It seems as if MySpace wants to dominate more of the world, for they are opening up the flood gates to France. It is said that MySpace is doing this to attract more users; doesn’t MySpace already have enough users? I mean, are 145 million people or whatever not enough for the “greatâ€? MySpace? Maybe they just realized that everyone is getting entirely sick of it, and so they need fresh meat (AKA Europe) to fill the void. One thing is for sure: MySpace is losing popularity. The stats tell it like it is: YouTube has just past MySpace on Alexa. Yes folks, the trend is changing; people would now rather see people make stupid movies than read blogs from emo kids. — Nick Rice
