Target must be pissed. The company approaches the holidays with new gift cards that have a built-in 1.2-megapixel digital camera and what does its competitor, Best Buy, do? Best Buy tries a different route with gift cards that have speakers built in to them.

While not nearly as cool as Target’s concept, Best Buy has gotten this far by offering bullshit services like pairing your Bluetooth headset with your phone for $10 bucks. Being able to plug your gift card into your iPod right before you clear the $50 credit at the cash register seems pointless to me. Let’s see if Best Buy follows the way of Circuit City.

The perfect gift for your forum trolling friends who can’t help but type in all caps when trying to prove a point. Go ahead troll, push that caps lock key in. You’ll only be met with piercing pain as your fingers are punctured by two spikes, just like the Prince of Persia’s body after a deadly fall.

Let’s all contribute to the Internet and learn how to shout at people with hateful words rather than large letters. If you’re incapable; Ctrl Alt Del yourself out of existence.

Christmas is just around the corner and I, being the nice Jewish boy that I am, have completed my shopping early. I picked up this I-MU Vibro Speaker for my girlfriend. The lady has been begging for a Sybian for years now because I lack the stamina in the sack. She also happened to need a new speaker for her iPod.

So, I killed two birds with one stone by paying only $56 bucks for this vibrating speaker. Now, she’ll be able to listen to her favorite Josh Groban album while she straddles this speaker in between her legs. All the while, I can relax and watch C-SPAN all night without interruption. Life is good.

Remember the days when everyone would compile mix tapes of their favorite NKOTB or M.C. Hammer tracks onto cassette? Bet they didn’t know that all those expensive cassettes would one day be melted down and turned into a skeleton. Vintage media sharing is making a come back. Instill nostalgia (maybe even doubt) with this Mix Tape USB Stick. It’s like a gift card with a 64 MB USB drive for storing your favorite tunes.

It might look like an out-of-this-world cassette tape, but it’s merely a case and has no practical use but to serve as a gift card of sorts. Basically, you’re paying $29 for a 64 MB USB drive. You just got ripped off, kid.

I’m sure you and your friends think your ex is a real cunt, but is that any way to talk to a lady? Absolutely not. Alternatively, you could get her this thong. Aside from the fact that a thong just screams class, this one says “YOU ARE VISITOR: 002637″ on the front part. She’ll not only hate you getting it for her, but she’ll also use it to get revenge when your best friend goes to fuck her during your grad party.

If you wind up buying one of these Valentine’s Day Halo tee shirts, be prepared for the, “Who’s Master Chief? Is that some Native American thing? I thought you were Italian.”

This is how you know whether the person you are talking to has any knowledge of any video games within the last 5 years. Now, don’t expect the ladies to come flocking around when you wear this, but if your current girlfriend likes Halo, this could be a sweet (humorous) present. Just make sure that you don’t forget to send those flowers and that box of chocolates (or whatever sends the message you want to send). –Nik Gomez
