Scitec's Swarovski skullphones: Look what the cat dragged in

Somehow, we don't think that this was what Swarovski had in mind when they began whoring their luxury name onto consumer electronics a few years ago. The Scitec SEB-100 canal-type earbuds with fancy, "hand-pasted" crystals will cost ¥10,000 (about 100 US beans) when they hit Japan later this month. The perfect gift for the glam-rock pansy struggling with middle age on your Malibu, beachside block.

The advertisement/picture look likes old 80 ads or old music groups ^^

[James @ Oct 14th 2008 5:06AM]

Yeah, no shit Sherlock.

I wonder what gave you that idea? It surely wasn't the Poison logo near the top now was it?

[Jody Clarke @ Oct 14th 2008 6:11AM]

@Pouet

Holy shit, you're stupid.

[ML @ Oct 14th 2008 6:46AM]

He is probably 16years old... makes me feel old.

[konshuss @ Oct 14th 2008 10:35AM]

i like that each and every one of them looks like a porn star... especially our traci lords lookalike on the bottom right. what honey, you want headphones? sure i'll take the same... sans phones.

[OneLove @ Oct 14th 2008 10:41AM]

Trannies!!

[Burt Reynolds @ Oct 14th 2008 5:06AM]

Oh, man. I always get hot and bothered looking at the woman at the bottom right.

My friend tells me her name is Rikki Rockett, but then he busts up laughing whenever I talk about the things I'd do to her...

What Gives?!?

[Graham Wellington (formerly ronald.raygun) @ Oct 14th 2008 5:17AM]

buddy i dont know, because im thinking of doing naughty things to the bottom left girl. although i can see where that wink draws you in...


we should go on a double date with these "poison girls"

[Marcelo @ Oct 14th 2008 5:27AM]

wow.. a Cinderella hint in a post about Poison's masculinity (or therefore lack of it)...it's the 80's all over again.

[midiwall @ Oct 14th 2008 5:29AM]

Umm, that would be 'cause THIS is Rikki Rockett

@midiwall

Wow, she's really lost it. She almost looks like a guy!

[dangerdoc @ Oct 14th 2008 4:22PM]

That's a man, baby!

[Bjsfreaked @ Oct 14th 2008 10:17AM]

is it me or do the top two look like men.
Although the only one that looks like a women is bottom left

[midiwall @ Oct 14th 2008 3:13PM]

Hey folks.. the four people in that ad ARE guys. That's the band Poison.

[lorddshadow @ Oct 14th 2008 9:52PM]

my lust has turned to disgust.

[xuperwoman @ Oct 14th 2008 5:44AM]

it's not an ad for the earphones. they just used the cover from that band's first album (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_What_the_Cat_Dragged_In) coz it's the same as this articles title.

[ED @ Oct 14th 2008 5:49AM]

One of these things is not like the others.

[ML @ Oct 14th 2008 6:12AM]

Do I sense creative concerns with that hoop going through the Poison logo?

[Jody Clarke @ Oct 14th 2008 6:13AM]

@xuperwoman

that's it...im outta here...........(CLIP CLOP, CLIP CLOP, clip clop, clip clop.......*echoey slam*)

[Deniz @ Oct 14th 2008 6:41AM]

I woud rule The Netherlands if i had these earbuds

[Das Boot @ Oct 14th 2008 8:17AM]

[Smart People Play Tuba @ Oct 14th 2008 9:08AM]

. . . And also, they have johnsons.

[gaforces @ Oct 14th 2008 10:53AM]

Tranny's ...

[lorddshadow @ Oct 14th 2008 9:54PM]

that's good to know that you wouldn't touch them considering THEY'RE GUYS

i know. the disgust is settling in. O______o

[kal326 @ Oct 14th 2008 9:06AM]

That has to be one of the most disturbing images to ever appear on Engadget. I'll have nightmares for sure....

[willyboy @ Oct 14th 2008 9:46AM]

I wish I could still feather my hair. :(

[cvolkerts @ Oct 14th 2008 10:03AM]

"glam rock pansy" really? offensive much?

[eric f. @ Oct 14th 2008 12:05PM]

Really, you're offended by that? You should cease to read anything on the internet ever again.

[Anthony @ Oct 14th 2008 10:33AM]

This was my best friend's first concert. He went on & on about it & the fact that later, after the show he saw them at the Hard Rock Cafe. Brought back memories of being 13.

Also, thought that white thing on the bottom of the earphones was a mini toilet paper roll.

[RikF @ Oct 14th 2008 11:27AM]

I gotta say Thomas that the phrase 'glam-rock pansy' is the most offensive thing I've read by a contributer on here in a long time. Please take your homophobia and vent it elsewhere.

[MyFirstMoniker @ Oct 14th 2008 2:41PM]

How can it be offensive to call anyone who looks like that a "glam rock pansy"?

[toyotaboy @ Oct 14th 2008 11:53AM]

Wow, I too feel old. It's weird to hear teenagers having no idea what metal hair bands were (or headbangers ball on mtv for that matter), unless this comment section is full of sarcasm.

[eric f. @ Oct 14th 2008 12:02PM]

@konshuss, you do know they're all dudes, right?

[blueyesm @ Oct 14th 2008 12:54PM]

See, this is what happened when Disco died!

Lest we forget....

[RIFRAF @ Oct 14th 2008 12:55PM]

OMG, that picture made me hurl. I don't want to ever see that album cover ever ever again! I remember when it came out. Oh lord,, the humanity! Make it stop!

Oh well, back to therapy for me now....
