Earbudclips, or How a 12 Cent Chunk of Plastic Can Solve One of the Most Annoying Things Ever

Earbud headphones are cool. There's no questioning that. The problem is, though, that unlike conventional headphones, earbuds tangle somethin' fierce.

We've all had this problem: you keep your overpriced, disgustingly cute, single function mp3 player iPod in your pocket for easy access, but always seem to get foiled by the inevitably tangled headphone cords. It's just one of the many annoyances of living in an age of personal electronics. Well, that is, untill now.

The Earbudclip solves this problem with about as simple and obvious a design imaginable. And priced at only 25 times the cost of production (please note: I have no idea what these things cost to make, however, I am more than positive that they do not cost anywhere near the $2.50 for which they are being sold. I'm just trying to make a point.), you really can't afford to not waste you money on these dinky little shits.

Anyway, check out the company's site. It's good for a laugh. I'd have thought this problem could have been solved with a plastic paperclip. Are consumers really this stupid, though?
