YSaC, Vol. CLXXXVI
OBAMA CRYSTAL BRACLET – $20
Original Sworaski crystal bracelet. Letters are all crystals on a black rubber and stanless braclet….Hurry…time running out
April found this listing and sent it in, saying “Look at all those “Sworaski” crystals! And on a “stanless braclet”! Can we really have this much glamour for only $20? YES WE CAN!”
Besides, what’s the hurry? From what I hear, he’s going to be president for at least the next four years. That’s enough time for every person in the country to buy a BeDazzler and imprint his name on every item of clothing they own. Hey, that sounds like a pretty good economic recovery package, actually. Stimulate the economy, and sparkle while you’re doing it!
*Warning: craptacular video on the BeDazzler site. You’ve been warned.**
**Sppoookky warning from the future! As of 2011, there is no longer a BeDazzler website! You’ve been warned!
Besides the obvious in this ad (typos, misplaced enthusiasm, etc.), does anyone really wear bracelets with someone else’s name on them? I’m confused. I don’t wear a ton of jewelry myself, but if I did, I doubt it would have “Obama” or anyone else’s last time on it. Not to mention that crystal is really classy when paired with rubber.
Your warning came too late, I’d already clicked!!!
The poster was able to afford real Sworaski crystals by selling all their French prudential furniture.
Your economic stimulus package can go along with mine – adopt Washington D.C. and/or Puerto Rico as states and send the flag industry skyrocketing. That’s bound to trickle down, right?
Unlike the Valentine’s cups o’ love the other day, I bet someone buys these. Sadly, some people will probably even buy two.
God bless America.
Hmm…I’m wondering if the outcome of the election had been different if these would be JOHN bracelets instead? And hey…BeDazzlers don’t work. I threw mine away years ago! :p
“McCain” doesn’t really sound like a sparkly name. And … are you actually surprised that an “As Seen on TV!” product doesn’t live up to the hyperbole? Anyway, it’s not whether it works — by buying one, you’re stimulating the manufacturer who makes them, the retailer who sells them AND the sparkly things, the clothing manufacturers (because after you destroy your clothes trying to BeDazzle them you’ll need to buy new clothes), and the waste management/recycling industry when you throw the thing away. See? Everyone wins.
Man, I’m glad I can finally get a bracelet without Stans!
By “time running out”, they REALLY meant, “Hurry and buy this cheap piece of crap before the hot glue gives out and the ‘real’ crystals fall out, and the stanless steel starts rusting.
Or, you can go to your local pet store and MAKE YOUR OWN!

Wow. The fact that they’re trying to pass off a dog collar as a bracelet (good find, CB) just sends this over this top.
No Stans were harmed in the making of this bling.
Taste, on the other hand ….
Time doesn’t run out, given that it is wibbly-wobbly I would say it bounces instead
Much like this calassay braclet. That’s why all my bling is rubberised – it don’t break if’n I drops it after a night on the ‘shine.
If you buy the OBAMA bracelet, do you wear it on the left or the right?
Yes.
I remember when I sold my soul to Stan hoping for limitless power. Turns out he wasn’t the lord of all darkness but rather an investment broker in Connecticut. He did help me diversify my soul with a very nice investment strategy based on long-term altruistic spiritual growth.
This is all because you didn’t believe in Todd.
When you said Todd I had a sudden hankering for hot buttered
Lub-Lub in heavy grease.
I shall have to avoid commenting today because, 1. I like Obama, and 2. I would wear this. Proudly. I’d also make four more with each of the family’s first names on them, and maybe one more for the doggie. And I’d get fired for showing any political preference at work, and I’d end up on the street corner trying to sell the darn things. Also if you read the web comic Sinfest, you know about Barock Star, so enough said.
To be sure, absolutely no political message is intended or implied here – we’re just making fun of Sparky. Although it is sort of a blast from the past, isn’t it?
Dan, absolutely understood. Sparky is hopeless and changeless. 8)
I think y’all are being too harsh. Obviously, Sparky is a genius. He spelled Swarovski, stainless, and bracelet wrong on purpose. Because he knows it isn’t any of those things, but the other people on almighty Craigslist do not. Therefore, when they buy this beautiful* piece of jewelry and then, upon receiving it, realize that it’s a bedazzled plastic dog collar, Sparky cannot be held accountable for dissatisfaction. Brilliant!
*not.
Bombdude should buy this, he could rearrange the letters to: A MOAB

Oh, Momma!
In Soviet Russia bracelet give you sore-ass-ski.
How to tell if you’ve misinterpreted the correct placement of your jewellery, Part I.
He wore this bracelet… up his ass… for five years.
I think I just will skip my own punch this time. All the honor can go to Sis and Dave and the Tribe. Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Mr. President!
(One advantage to being up this early is that no one is likely to ever read this!)
Or you’re probably wrong about that….
Punchity punch, Windy. Hey, wait, don’t fly away!

They never leave the secret door unlocked, do they?
Yep, here we are again. Time to break out the emergency provisions?
I think we should… PANIC!
AAARRRRRGHHHHH!!!!
*slaps on the war paint, blows the conch shell*
The Beast! The Beast!
You folks have too much fun on mornings like this. If I had known it was gonna be a wee bit late, I would have sent up a flare and gone into the Command Center ™ for the spare set of keys to the front door. But I went back to bed instead.
