LED Belt Buckle from Daily Deals
You won’t catch me wearing this one — LED Belt Buckle from DailyDeals, sister company of Catch of the Day. Basically it is a light flashing plate that you hang around your waistline, and you can customise the lights to display something meaningful.
Here’s the blurb from DailyDeals:
The L.E.D. Belt Buckle is a groovy gadget and fashion accessory all rolled into one. It says “hey, I’m funky” — in fact, it says anything you want it to say! You choose the wording, the display brightness and the scrolling speed — it’s the legit way to get a gal to check out your package in the first five seconds! Plus it stores up to six messages, so you’ll always have the right text to scroll. Forget “read my lips”, make that “read my hips” with the LED Belt Buckle!
Yeah right, as though anyone is going to buy it for that very purpose. However, I could be dead wrong as there might be a real market for message-displaying belt buckles! I think it is more likely for marketing or advertisement agency to buy lots of those, and pay people to wear them and walk around the CBD whole day with ads on it (like those Smart cars you can rent for $5 a day). That will surely bring a buzz to whatever you want to sell.
Anyway. It’s $57.90 delivered. Up to 512 characters (yeah, longer than AdSense) and up to 6 messages. No, I still won’t wear one even if you pay me :)
