The $23 Etre Touchy gloves are handwear designed for using your iPhone or other touchscreen device in the harsh months of winter. They're just gloves with the index fingers and thumbs cut off. Which *SPOILER ALERT* you can do yourself to any pair of gloves, even $5 ones. Ha, but not while you're wearing them you stupid idiot!

Cut another hole on the middle-finger, you can get them lesbians to buy that shit. And for that matter, the Superficial Writer as well. They like it when it's less messy. (pun intended)

It's actually a conspiracy against iPhone users. These gloves cause your thumb and pointer finger to freeze off. It's so obvious, but no one seems to notice that a glove that doesn't cover your fingers is like a wife that doens't make sandwiches after sex.

Why not get some $5 gloves and only cut 3/4 of the way around the index finger and thumb. That way you can pop them off, leave a gay comment on geekologie, and then pop them back on... Oh crap... prolly just gave away a million dollar business opportunity.. iGloves.
Oh, and #1, to stop smudging the screen, wipe your fingers off after eating the french fries... or whatever else you are doing...

just proves how retarded IPhone users really are
10. SmokingGirl - December 15, 2008 4:49 PM
You know, they already have those mittens that you can take the top mitten part off and expose your fingers. Or, they're called fingerless gloves.
Sheesh, are iPhone users REALLY this retarded? I guess I'm asking a rhetorical question since the answer is obvious...how sad.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tellits a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max and Baja worked at a country club. Baja thought she was pregnant, and Max was trying to get in good with the Judge to try and win the Caddies scholarship. Later Max got caught screwing the Judges niece and also saw Mrs. Judge in the shower. Baja turned out to not be pregnant, and Max helped beat the Judge in a big money golf game.

@8 Sharla...
why don't you go buy some $5 gloves cut 3/4 of a couple of fingers off and GO F*** YOURSELF you dirty bitch...
13. Keke - December 15, 2008 5:07 PM
i think we are all forgetting the fact that is stupid to buy gloves for $23, regardless of what they can be used for.
14. Tricky Ricky - December 15, 2008 5:07 PM
thats almost as retarded as driving gloves..although driving gloves are usually leather..
15. Russian - December 15, 2008 5:38 PM
heeey, don't you dare to speak about my Sovjet Russian Tank Armor Leather Tank Driving Ubergloves!
The keep your palm warm during the cold syberian winters!
16. Joust - December 15, 2008 5:44 PM
FAKE!!!!
That's a complete PhotoShop job. You can tell it's a fake because all the shadows are wrong.
This looks just like the scene in the movie "In Hell" where Van Damme takes a giant diarrha dump and gets the idea of using it as a glove for warmth, resulting in a very stinky hand.
17. Hannukah Montanaka - December 15, 2008 6:00 PM
YES 17~!!!
IM A GOD
18. White - December 15, 2008 6:02 PM
Can't you just get fingerless gloves?
19. Adra - December 15, 2008 8:33 PM
It;s exactly like a scene from the Gilmore Girls where Rory borrows Lorelai's gloves but finds they dont fit so rubs herself all over Sookie's cooking to appease the dark gods, and because she is missing Luke.

FAKE!!!!
This is obviously a photoshop job. The shadows are all wrong.
This is taken in whole or in part from a scene in Tender Dracula.
The drunk overdubbed frenchman is trying to bed one of the two
actresses, while the other is roughly handled by a myriad of disembodied
hands.

They already have convertible gloves you just have to learn to use your index fingers exclusively.
23. Ray Doggy Dogg - December 15, 2008 11:15 PM
Gloves of this basic design have been around for years, in another permutation, with another intended application. What was once the sole domain of snipers and special weapons units will now be proudly worn by neophyte IDrones. Huzzah.

Apple sucks, and I'm not referring to their computers which I use and like.
Their advertising scheme and targeted demographic piss me off so much I almost feel like I'm not "trendy" enough to use Mac. Every time I see a white television commercial with some folk song playing in the background with some faggot wearing a sweet outfit playing with an iPhone I want to throw my computer in the garbage.
25. Lia - December 16, 2008 6:59 AM
I'd buy that shit, were it under $5.
I'd rather lose four fingers over ten, let alone my entire hand.
Personally Apple's targetted demographic is good marketing on their part.
Cool laptop makes you cool.
Ideal for people like LSDiesel who is so behind the times he missed where women jokes aren't funny.
26. Dirty Paul - December 16, 2008 10:54 AM
@25 - Q: What can you tell a woman with 2 black eyes?
A: Nothing - she's been told twice already.
How can you say that's not funny?
27. Thumperchica - December 16, 2008 11:07 AM
@25 - You just need to be told a little more often, maybe you'll find a sense of humor in all of that self-important feminism
28. vaginica - December 16, 2008 11:10 AM
ha, i stole a pair of gloves from my boyfriend, cut the thumbs off and
SHAZZAM instant i phone gloves, and i made them back in like October.
idiots paying $23 bucks for something that could be made for near free.

Just a question, if everyone thinks Daisy is so retarded, why do half of you insist on imitating her. You're more annoying than she is, and that's saying something.
