How to Make a Palm Pre Look Like a Palm Full of Ass

Jason Chen — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 20:00:00 EDT

We don't mean a palm full of ass in a good way—when were you not happy when you had a palm full of ass—but a palm full of something really disgusting. Yeah, this thing right here.

No offense to the guy at preThinking, but there's a reason why Palm didn't make the back of their phone look like a ad or something you'd see at a NASCAR event. Leave Britney alone, as it were. [Prethinking]

Motherboard Mirror Only Shows Nerds in its Reflection

This looks straight out of an 80s movie about hotshot computer programmers that fell into a downward spiral involving drugs and violence. A movie that, regrettably, may not exist. [3rings via The Awesomer via BBG]

NES Varsity Jacket Is a Limited Edition for a Reason

Adam Frucci — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 18:20:00 EST

Jackets don't come much uglier than this, but hey, at least it matches this guy's male pattern baldness. Hurry, it's a limited edition of 1,000!

This jacket, which is the opposite of cool, can be yours for a mere $200. Fittingly, it comes in sizes up to 4XL for the portly gentleman planning to go out on the town and embarrass himself and his family. Hurry, before 1,000 nerds with bad taste beat you to it! [Product Page via Oh Gizmo!]

Hi-Tech Shoes For Ladies Have Heel Height Extenders

Matt Hickey — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:00:00 EDT

Thankfully just a concept for now, the Goodie 2 Shoe is an idea in function, and definitely not in form. They're ugly, sure, but they have a neat trick: the heel is adjustable with magnets and hidden hinges, so a 1.5-inch heel suitable for work gets extended to a come-hither 3.5-inch for going out. Other parts can be customized, much like the latest Sidekick. Personally, we'd be confused if we saw an attractive lady in these shoes. It shows she's got a geek's mind, but also a geek's taste, which is not always what we're looking for. Still, we hope these appear on Lady Robocop in the 2010 remake. [Crave]

An MP3 Player Only the World's Ugliest Dog Could Love

Sean Fallon — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 18:00:00 EDT

Leave it to obscure Chinese manufacturers to come up with the CJ7 Dog Doll MP3 Player—a device so hideous it looks as if it was spawned in the fires of hell. Outside of its appearance, the device features 1GB of flash memory, a built-in loudspeaker and a conveniently placed USB butt port. It will only set you back $18.67, but that is still a high price to pay for a device that will surely give you nightmares. [DealExtreme via anythingbutipod]

Update: The commenters pointed out that it's the alien from Stephen Chow's new movie CJ7. I personally heard the movie was pretty awful, but I haven't actually seen it yet. – JC

Pyxis GPS Watch is Designed for Athletes, Not Aesthetes

AddyDugdale — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 05:05:08 EDT

The Pyxis GPS watch is a versatile gadget for exercise freaks — which also, judging by its looks, doubles as a blunt instrument that the CIA might use against their enemies when everything else has failed. With a gazillion functions, including time, speed, distance and even calorie consumption measurement, you can programme your goals into it, store lap exercises, and even keep your favorite routes on tap. Gallery and more on its other functions below.

The Pyxis' GPS means you can find out how many yards from the green you are, as well as displaying hazards such as bunkers and rough, and keeping score for you. There's even a car GPS mode, as well as what looks like a port for connecting to your computer. [AVING]

Sony PSP, Rice Rocket-Style

Jason Chen — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:20:38 EDT

Just when we thought the PSP couldn't get any uglier, this user installed fading LED lights onto the D-Pad, the face buttons, the shoulder buttons and even the UMD tray. All this needs is a slutty bikini model, some 10-inch subs, and some flame stickers and this would be right at home going 95 in a 25, running over old ladies. [Acid Mods via Kotaku]

A Mame Cabinet Abomination

Travis Hudson — Sun, 15 Jan 2006 13:11:31 EST

Even though I have yet to construct my own mame cabinet, I like to consider myself an aficionado. Mame cabinets are a way to relive good memories full of classic gaming. One memory nobody wants to remember is marble shelf paper. I was pretty sure that this stuff was extinct, but some poor soul managed to find some and layer his mame cabinet in it. Maybe there isn t enough of an 80s crack fiend in me, but the faux marble has got to go. Along with this crap design, this guy placed way too many damn buttons on the mame cabinet. This isn t World of Warcraft where the entire keyboard is utilized; it is Bubble Bobble and Galaga. Check out more ugliness after the jump.
