when you play around with the font to make everything big and red, it can ruin the direct url link (so you can no longer just click on it).

I agree though, that person has definitely stumbled upon something truly special.

I saw this last night. I don't know whether to call the crapophones or franken phones. They just keep getting worse and worse.

Those aren't even as attractive as the standard crapophone- pure junk.

considering quality and appearance, they certainly appear to be several rungs down on the ladder from the mass-produced imitations from india. although, I guess you could consider each one in that respect a unique hand-made piece. do people actually buy this garbage for what it is though? I can understand the desire for inexpensive decorative things or stage props, but can't imagine the demand would be so high as to justify the continued appearance and marketing of trash like this.
