Check it out playas! You be ballin with 10k Mario photo

Jesus.

Please tell me no one really buys things like this.

Please.

Spied on eBay (and, may I note, being sold in Florida, THE STATE THAT I CURRENTLY RESIDE IN), this Mario pendant is made of 10K yellow gold and colored diamonds. It can be yours for a cool $6,999, although according to the seller it's worth $11,857. It's also listed as a men's pendant, so ladies, don't be thinking you can sport this: this is for a real man.

I think Joseph Conrad's Kurtz said it best, so I'll simply borrow his memorable last words: "The horror. The horror."

For some reason Mario looks like Al Jolson there, to me at least.:S
Those don't look like diamonds, he could have at least lit it up so it sparkles... doesn't look like a very good cast either if oyu check out the nose..

What the hell is that hat about?

cool idea, but somewhere in the creation process something went horribly wrong.

You know I seriously hate this trend of putting diamond on fuckin' everything!

Please just leave the " bling" out of videogames.
