Aug 4 2008Plastinkuzz: Questionable DJ Scratchers
Plastinkuzz are little stereoscopic cards that you scratch and allegedly sound like a real record. That, of course, is debatable. They're made by Art Lebedev, and come in a variety of color combinations, because that's important. Hit the jump to see said color options and a very worthwhile video that, if you make it all the way through, you win a prize. Now I hate to ruin a surprise, but your prize is one minute and twenty-eight seconds stolen from your life (kind of like "the Machine" in The Princess Bride, but far less cool). Seriously though, I've been playing the Plastinkuzz since I was a kid. Except back then we called them corduroys. I had the jacket and the pants.
Hit the jump for one more picture and a video you really should at least watch the first ten seconds of -- the second guy is hilarious.
Thanks Derwin, but I'll stick to playing my pants.

Makes my skin crawl.

I'd put one on my crotch so when I scratch my nuts you get the happy DJ sound effect.

All I can say is lame! I made it 15 seconds into it and stoped. They are just those hologram cards with the lins on it so the picture changes. LAME

this made me extremely angry and irritated. i hope the makers of this product and the makers of this video go bankrupt, but only after taking out a bunch of loans and going into major debt. and i hope whoever buys this thing plays with it so much that they start scratching away the tips of their fingers til they only have nubs. nubs that constantly smell like garlic cheese and herbs.

Wow - if my kid got this as a Happy Meal toy he'd be pissed. Hella dumb.

This looks to be about as annoying as watching grown men play with those finger skateboards that were popular in the late 90's.

So bad. That was the worst video I've ever watched on this site. Terrible. I'm so upset. Awful.

I can play that shit on my f*&^ing cell phone cover right now, as well as on the front of this stupid picture i got of George Washington in my crackerjacks. I cant play it on the back because that side has facts about GW himself...
14. SmokingGirl - August 4, 2008 4:51 PM
You can do this with any of those hologram cards. It is hologram right?
And I made it through the whole video...I don't know how, but I did. Maybe it's because I have a cold. *sneeze* Bless me.

I have to admit, I snickered when they used it to chase away that goose or whatever.
16. DJ Lame - August 4, 2008 5:55 PM
I'd buy that for a dollar....but not much more than a dollar.
17. windowshopper - August 4, 2008 5:56 PM
Wow, I really feel sorry for anyone who lacks intelligence and buys one of these. I mean... wow. But, if they makers of this retarded thing make any kind of money off of this, then kudos to them. Cause they just proved how dumb people are. That is, IF they make any money.

AS A REAL DJ I FIND THESE OFFENSIVE THE PERSON THAT MADE THEM SHOULD BE ASHAMED

What a waste of time.... seriously take some more E and maybe you will OD and do the world a favor....
or maybe ill just do the world a favor.
They dont call me Genocide for nothing.

Ok, ok, you are all, of course, right. But just imagine that there is some dildo DJ you know who you want to antagonize. You could follow him around for half-an-hour bugging him to the point of suicide. In that situation, these would be priceless.
Or, you could walk up to him while he's in his set and ape him in a really heartfelt manner, pretending to jam with him.
Also, thanks to # 2,3,4,8,9,12,13,15,18 for all making me LOL. 'Cause these things... they must be some sort of self-parody, right?
23. randy@rigor.mil - August 5, 2008 3:00 AM
Does it only play one song??? Couldn't they mix it up a bit?
24. Lynz - August 5, 2008 3:23 AM
I want one. Just so I can see how long it takes until I get shot for annoying everyone around me.
25. g-man - August 5, 2008 9:26 AM
i think this whole thing kinda hangs on the fact that the people buying it know what dj's are and what they do, but have never actually heard one?
yeah thats a lucrative market right there
26. Dylan - August 5, 2008 11:37 PM
WOW...Stupid engineering at its finest.
27. Lins - August 6, 2008 11:32 PM
wow... i can do that on my new drivers licence.

Your all taking the video and card a bit too seriously. Its a peice of plastic with a picture of a turntable on it, thats all. We all know its just a piece of plastic, I'm sure the creator knows that too. Stick it in your wallet and you have a two dollar toy to play with when your bored in class. More of a little joke or a small amusement then anything else.
