Cell phones are for drinkers
Party hearty
(Credit: rakuten.co.jp)Last week we discovered a Japanese cell phone dangle that resembled a golden turd. Today, thanks to Gizmodo, we found something even better. This drunken salaryman dangle comes in a few delicious versions. Our favorite has to be the one with the man bowing to the "porcelain god." But other options, such as the guy passed out with his bottle or the dude dancing with his shirt off, aren't bad either. And for more aggressive after-work party types, there's a rather stern fellow who looks like he's got a shiner on his head. The Web site is only in Japanese so we're not able to tell you much more about these curious items, although the price for one dangle appears to be 400 yen, or about $3.30.
