This one is definitely for the Department of WTF?! Ever since my iPod was stolen, I have not gotten a new mp3 player. In my mind, I would get one when I saw the need for one. But with all the cool mobile phones that can function as mp3 players, I never really had the urge to get a separate mp3 player. Still, I have always been on the lookout for cool earphones that would give me a great listening experience. Truth be told, I have only been satisfied with Sony Ericsson earphones.

Yesterday, while I was browsing online for new earphones – yeah I did this while waiting for Gmail to go back up – I ran across something that made me go “No way!” And that no way was not sarcastic. I really meant it.

Take a look at that picture – a set of ear buds that are shaped like flies! Now why in the world would you want to have flies buzzing in your ears? And even if they do sound good, why would you want some buggy looking thing sticking out of your ears?

Dubbed the Fly Ear Buds (no creativity in the name, I don’t know about the design!), they are compatible with most anything that you can plug earphones into. The package also comes with 2 sets of silicone tips – one small and one large, I suppose to make for size differences in us human beings.

If you like insects, then head on over to Patina Stores and pay $12.95 for a pair. I’d much rather find something else, to be honest.
