You're just jelly because you didn't think of it first.

He be banging that ♥♥♥♥ like a monkey, yo.

Hahaha. This is the kind of ♥♥♥♥ that ends up in the discovery channel store.

80 dollars as in cheap or expensive. If you by 80 dollars mean cheap, then that is a good thing, means capitalism works.

It's either consumers want it and industry provides..

or industry just provides and consumers eat that ♥♥♥♥ up

Wait, is that just a ball that gives different coloured lights when you plug your ipod in it? Does it serve any other purpose?

i think he means it's a cheap piece of ♥♥♥♥ that is pointless to buy

The sad thing is that lots of people will buy it just because it's an iPhone accessory

You misunderstand. It's just a plastic ball you put your iPhone /iPod into to charge it. It doesn't have any actual lights in it. The iPhone / iPod is the one actually displaying those colours.. the colours just shine through the plastic....

80$ for a piece of plastic, I don't know how the hell anyone would...

OOo... shiny... pretty lights... calming... paypal...

i have 6 of these. They are awesome

Looks kind of cool, I'd buy one if the price was closer to $5.

Also: Consumers can't stop a company from overpricing something. They can only refuse to buy it.

wait, what are consumers letting happen?

if consumers set price and selection we'd have everything huge and cheap.

and everyone would still be ♥♥♥♥ing miserable and poor
