The Xact XG2500 Headset Cordless Telephone is still atrociously ugly, but that won't stop it from inevitably appearing in JCPenny's Christmas catalog in my parents' mailbox later this year. And now it's on sale!

Seriously, I think I saw this thing in the Penny's catalog back when I was growing up in the 90's, and I know I saw it in Quantum Leap somewhere. And it's heavy too with the .1-lb. weight drooping more than a few ears to the floor with its massive, eye sore bulk.

At least it's only $20 now with free shipping. Get it for someone you hate today! [Gear Diary]
