Ryan Reynolds

So a little while ago I was watching “Definitely, Maybe”, the cutest chick flick I’ve seen in years. Although a little unrealistic. But aren’t they all?


Anyway, the one thing that totally blew that worry out of my mind was the constant presence of Ryan Reynolds (read: sex god).

He’s gorgeous. And funny.



And built.



In one of the opening scenes of the movie, Ryan strolls out of his New York office, pops in these crazy super-cool wireless earphones, and starts cruising down the street. I gasped, fixated. I lusted, and no it was NO LONGER over adorable Ryan Reynolds, but over his high-tech wireless earbuds. They were sleek, shiny, stylish.

I wanted. I needed. I HAD TO HAVE.

I began an investigation. I discovered three things:

1) They are called the Sennheiser MX W1 Totally Wireless Earphones.

2) They are not due to be released until the END OF MAY.

3) They are $550 (down from the $600 they were a few weeks ago).

Whaaaat??? WHO has the right to charge $550 for two tiny little earbuds that are going to get all covered with earwax anyway??? iPods come with their own for FREE!! Is the sound quality arguably that much better? Really? What's the justification for this highway robbery?

(Hint: there is none)

I'm a little upset. Designer "cool" status brands that separate the money-burning elite from the rest of us have spread to engulf even headphones.

Psssh....eff you and your pre-released earbuds Ryan Reynolds, I'll keep my cute boyfriend and my ghetto iBuds.
