Thanko's Gold Ingot USB Hub: for pirates?

Damn, it just doesn't get any more craptacular than this, the Gold Ingot USB hub from Thanko. The best part sure isn't the 8-ports of USB 2.0 action, the ¥5,980 (about $52) price tag, or even the fact that it weighs as much as a laptop at 5.18-pounds. No, the best part is "Fake Gold" engraved right up top to impress the ladies. Class man, real class. Oh, and be sure to check their pirate pitchman after the break... arrrg!

Finally! A USB hub for the hip hop gangsta that has everything bling-wise...

At least it's better than a "goldmember". :-)

I think there is a decided lack of pirate themed computer products, who wants a hook/mouse?

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 24th 2006 2:29PM]

Thats a fake pirate.

I don't really need one but I want one. I Luv Gold! Sorry.

I know everyone is laughing, but am I the only who wants a hub with some weight that doesn't flop around the desk whenever a cable moves. If this wasn't so ugly, 8 ports and 8 lbs is about what I want.
