No, seriously: Pimp yourself out in Space Invaders bling photo

Are you ready to get ICED OUT? Blingvaders now offers the hippest new gear for wannabe pimps in the form of the "Iced out Space Invaders neck chain". Yours for just twenty dollars in faux silver or gold, you can show off your nerd cred and still look totally bangin, especially if you wear your puffy jacket and sunglasses (the latter is especially effective if you wear them at night). Imagine it -- you're a badass!

Who am I kidding? I hate to be mean, but you have to be an epic douchebag to sport this. I mean, look at the guy in the picture. He probably thinks Tomohiro Nishikado is a city in Japan.

That guy who won the SI Extreme contest did the whole bling thing better methinks. That chain looks like Guido attire.

Also lol at "Blingvaders", what kinda name..!

Well if you're going to look like a douchebag you might as well look like a douchebag who plays games.

I don't get who this is supposed to appeal to. Is old-school gaming "street" now? It looks pretty ridiculous, but I could say the same about most bling.

It's hard not to look like a douchebag when your "bling" only costs $20. Honestly though, even if this was better made and more expensive, it would still be a dumb idea.

Maybe a ring or watch, something low profile and subtle, not a damn rope. I can't stand wearing chains anyway.

That's simply the most badass neck-piece I've seen since the noose... Ridiculous!

I'm getting really tired of all this "gangster" merchandise based of video games, such as those shirts of Mario wearing gold chains (I'm sure you've all seen them), and such.

If I ONLY wore this during shows, would I still look like a douchebag?

@Justice

That would be me you are referencing, and thank you :). Mine wasn't SI bling though, it was Dtoid bling (which can in fact divide by zero). If anyone was ever wondering, my inspiration for my contest entry was simple. I thought to myself, "what is the most epic thing to do with Dtoid helmets?"

GRILL!

I kinda want to buy a lot and hang them in columns in my wall. Sure I could use other things, but the golden look would make it look fancy :P
