NES Varsity Jacket Is a Limited Edition for a Reason
9:20AM Adam Frucci | 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! More »

Teac’s LP-R500 CD-Equipped Record Player Fell Through Ugly Timewarp
1:30AM Kit Eaton | Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. This is Teac’s LP-R500. Ugh. Sorry, I’ll try pulling myself together: it’s a modern version of what my grandad used to call a “radiogramme,” cramming in an FM radio, a CD player, cassette player and record deck into one sleek ancient, massive, clunky box along with an amp and speakers. Admittedly it does let you record your vinyl and tapes to CD. But… ugh. Yours for an ugly $US700. [Akihabaranews via Dvice] More »

Nikon D60 Black Gold Edition: So Ugly It’d Make Mr. T Cry, If He Could Cry
1:30AM Matt Buchanan | The mystery of Nikon’s Black Gold D60 might have just been solved, and man, it is not pretty. No really, it’s a downright repulsive study in tackiness, if these pictures are to be believed (sadly, it looks like they should be). Nikon has liberally slathered the D60 with cheap gold paint aaaaaaand… that’s it. And you get to pay an extra $US50 to rock more shiny than the people who actually have taste and get a regular D60. I’m not sure who came up with this, but even Mr. T wouldn’t use this camera. [Nikon Rumors, DP Review] More »

Hi-Tech Shoes For Ladies Have Heel Height Extenders
11:00AM Matt Hickey | 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 customised, 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] More »

An MP3 Player Only the World’s Ugliest Dog Could Love
8:00AM Sean Fallon | 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 US$18.67, but that is still a high price to pay for a device that will surely give you nightmares. [DealExtreme via anythingbutipod] More »

The Ugliest, Fattest MacBook Ever Is Only US$6800
8:00AM Matt Buchanan | This overwrought leather and anodised aluminium slab is US$6800. It’s a MacBook. Sure, the underside is European aniline leather, and it comes with Windows XP and Office pre-installed. But it’s just a MacBook, fattened up with 2.5 extra pounds and a couple extra inches of aluminium and dead animal hide, and a generous slathering of shitty taste. But don’t feel guilty! No, because you’re also buying an XO Laptop for a struggling child in a developing country, like Alabama. And that is priceless. Plus six thousand, eight hundred US dollars.

Now Available: The Ugliest Mobile Phone Ever Created
9:15AM Adam Frucci | Not only does this Givori Serendipity phone look like it was designed by some sort of ADD-afflicted, semi-retarded Midwestern housewife at a forced-labour craft fair, but it costs US$3,100. Hell, I’d pay that much to make sure I never become friends with anyone who would use this thing. More »
