The World's Ugliest Gadgets
Swarovski-Crystal-Covered Sidekicks, TVs, Xbox 360s, iPods, Mics....
Tacky and ugly are the only two words that can describe the annoyingly ubiquitous trend of slapping Swarovski crystals on anything with a power plug. That Paris Hilton and her sister Nicky seem to favor these sorts of flashy gadget-adornments only proves that money and pedigree still can't buy you taste. We've found loads and loads of these gaudy gadget coverings, from shiny rust-colored Nanos and crystal-covered refrigerators to flashy Xbox 360 faceplates and, of course blinged-out televisions. At least Philips is upping the luxury factor with 2,200 truly fancy De Beers diamonds on this plasma, which, frankly, looks like it would have fit nicely in Liberace's home entertainment room. Enough already.

blah blah blahAug 13th 2008 11:30AM
that gold tv is PHAT yo i could roll with that
No Phones?Aug 13th 2008 3:18PM
Why they're calling old products ugly, is just that... they are old - but weren't ugly back then. And why was the first generation of portable phones left out. Those are very ugly next to the new cell phones.
I wish our bodies were like gadgets. More beautiful and sleek as time passes. lol

I would of bought some of those things for Girl, I guess.
jefferyOct 29th 2008 4:54PM
okay the phone looks stupid but the chick is hot.....
BallerMay 24th 2007 8:52PM
Um...Xbox controllers are amazing. The gold plated plasma is sick. The boombox is awesome and the jeweled side kicks and stuff are to appeal to female senses. I dont want to bother commenting ont he rest. But i agree with the some things
silveradoAug 13th 2008 12:36PM
WOW i guess i missed all this growing up as a hippy GOOD OR BAD?? I like the T.V , I think it;s kind of cool

It is evident that the author of this article had nothing better to do. And I, less for reading it...completely.
Vilchen von shlogen de bogen nogenMay 24th 2007 10:01PM
WOW! the Xbox controller i TRULY disagree with. And, DUH! the old computor and Palm Pad are OLD! theyre from 80's-90's! Much of this stuff is very incorrect, but i dont care because i just dont care!
AngelaMay 25th 2007 9:59AM
Ewwww why would anyone want crystals on their phone? This chick prefers simplicity!!!
JoyMay 24th 2007 10:26PM
They are ugly but not as ugly as her fingernails.
david alexander von nordheimMay 24th 2007 10:33PM
everything on this list was ugly. the only people who can defend x-box controllers are the videogame obsessed candyasses that think bill gates is the second coming and that halo is a lost gospel of the bible. congratulations on finding a humongous pile of @#$%, article writer. that isnt sarcasm, nice reporting.

ok, first of all, the Xbox was one of the coolest systems ever (ps3 looks better). But, the controller was slightly large, but not THAT large. give it a break, the xbox 360 sold over 10 million systems already. And that "instant bling bling" what the hell IS bling bling? sounds like something from the 1890s or something. Anyways, most of these gadgets were not given a chance, and of COURSE the older stuff is going to look ugly, and most of the newer stuff is going to look cool because this is a different era.
PaydayMay 25th 2007 1:28AM
Yes bling has gone to far and her nails are bogus.
4nobrainersMay 25th 2007 1:24AM
Just plain stupid. They don't look cool or nice. It's just another stupid gimmick that some dork wraps around their $400 cell phone. Then they cry because it interferes with the camera and mp3 player. Do you pay $35 to have a beaded phone cord at home too?????
And its not just chicks buying them. Yet another reason why I support the death penalty. LOL
AmyJul 3rd 2007 2:44PM
the rhinestones can actually look nice...if you don't over do it..less is more...oh yeah and they totally forgot to put cars on here! have you seen the nasty ugly looking cars that have been coming out recently??
asalamalickemMay 25th 2007 6:02AM
This was truly fun. But the ugliest thing was the girls' nails. Most of the "ugly" gadgets were beutifully functional in their time. It takes a while for gadgets to gain aesthetic appeal. Functionality should preceed bling.
joanneMay 27th 2007 3:56PM
i gues everything here was ugly. but of course they are....they are really old! its just dum to put old stuff....obviously its ugly! and how can technoology be ugly?!? so the writeer was just bored.
