My Life: Wired

I can't help but to laugh at some of the products that are out. Products tend to land in three categories; the general useful that we know and love, the odd but useful, and finally the completely ridicules. The product that I am going to talk/rant/whatever about is the 'Ms. Taken'.

This isn't a "new product" per se, which really came out of the limelight due to their great parody/video response to Lonely Island's Jizz in my Pants.

Now I know this ring of theirs isn't a new tactic. Women usually have rings that they can easily throw on their engagement finger, or merely just say the classic "I have a Boyfriend." But personally with this product, I am kind of twisted on the issue.

Ok, there are creepy guys out there, that is given. I know this because a few of my friends were called creepy (not me though, I tend to be the "Is he gay?" one... why? hell if I know). This product will give an easy out for women to just show them their hand, most likely will have to put it in their face due to where guys tend to look.

But this makes me wonder, what is the point? Why can't women just flat out say that they are not interested? Are they too shy? Don;t want to be played off as a bitch? I know some guys don't get the clue, but damn, is it to that point where women will actually throw down $50 for a fake diamond ring that they will carry in a key chain? I would assume you could just get a cheaper ring that will do just fine.

But it's not just the ring and key chain you get. You also get the "Playaz Cards" which I would think would be worth the $50 alone! You can study them at home, compare them at bars, and trade with your friends! Honestly though, for a product to include these cards that place all men into 20 difference categories, how can you take this product serious? (and I don't remember getting a call to pose for 'Mr. Perfect')

With that, WHERE THE HELL IS THE MR.TAKEN?!?!?! I remember hearing callers on Tom Leykis talking about how a good way to get laid is to wear a ring or gold band, and play the "we are getting separated/I caught her cheating line" or even just pretending to be married. This is because of the nurturing aspect, or the challenge, respectably.

Maybe I should start my own site, and sell gold bands for cheap. Though I would have to sell them dirt cheap, because no way a (smart) guy would buy a ring for $50 just in hopes to get laid... They again, they would buy snake oil... I should know...
