Dec 17 2008I Am Stupid, These Are Better iPhone Gloves

Okay, so apparently that last pair of gloves I posted for using touchscreen devices suck because your fingers get all cold. Boy was that a stupid product design. But apparently these DOTS gloves will still work AND keep your digits nice and toasty. They work via those magical little dots on the tips of the fingers. A knit pair will set you back $15, wool $20. Despite contacting the company, I received no word on what the dots are actually made of, which begs the question -- angel nipples?
Thanks to egleaves and David for pointing out that the other gloves are for nose-pickers, not iPhoners.

Daisy is retarded...this has nothing to do with never back down and the shadows are fine.

"Prompts the question" not "Begs the question"
the latter is improper.

It says on the product's website that the dots are made out of nickel and brass.

"angel nipples?"
No they are made out of chocolate buttons. >_<

@4
Brass & nickle angel nipples?

"$15" vs "$22"
They are f***ing cheaper too

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadows are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max went to McDonalds with Nordberg in a rolls royce. Then later Nordberg killed his wife, and flew to Chicago, where he stayed in a hotel which has a pretty good steak restaurant, and he cut his hand on a glass. Later Max had to testify at Nordbergs murder trial, and eventually Nordberg got off because the gloves didn't fit.
Eventually Nordberg got framed for some BS crime and went to jail, and Max lived happily ever after.

FAKE!!!!
These is clearly a photoshop job. The shadows are too perfect.
These gloves can be seen in the movie Tender Dracula, during the
scene where Dracula massages the shoulders of his undead man-servant's
ex wife, who is now the wife of Dracula. He puts them on after she complains of how cold his touch is, conjecturing that he should have fixed the gas fire in the cellar.

@3, I've never heard anyone say "prompts the question" in conversation, and if I ever did, I would take of an iPhone glove, put a brick in it, and then proceed to slap that person across the face.
11. Matthew - December 17, 2008 10:59 AM
@10, prompts, raises, or begets are proper, saying "Begs the question" is so terribly incorrect. From now on, if you ever hear someone say "Begs the question" hit that person with the brick gloves...

@11
Your post prompts the question, "How anal are you?"
13. Matthew - December 17, 2008 11:11 AM
@12 lol, when it comes to intractable logical fallacies, the answer is: "Extremely".
14. McGloin - December 17, 2008 11:19 AM
I'm a f***ing trolling retard! And I'm back to piss you off with more racist comments once again! Go MinoriTeam!
15. mugglesquop - December 17, 2008 11:21 AM
these wouldnt work oh a iPhone, as it has to be a finger (something to do with picking up electrostatic crap).
would work with windows mobile tho :)
16. Bernie Kosar - December 17, 2008 11:23 AM
Many of these responses beg the question, who's the biggest pedantic asshole here?
17. Matthew - December 17, 2008 11:24 AM
@15, These gloves will work if those dots on the fingers conduct electricity... I'll let you know after mine arrive.
18. Matthew - December 17, 2008 11:26 AM
@16, pointing out logical fallacies is never merely a display of academic knowledge. I simply wanted to let the geekologie writer know his mistake.
19. Bernie Kosar - December 17, 2008 11:29 AM
Look who claimed the prize!

This reminds me of the time, during a press conference, a man stood up from the crowd and thew his gloves at me. No wait, it was his shoes. He didn't have any gloves. I managed to dodge both shoes before my secret service, code named "Angel Nipples" subdued the shoe throwing assailant.
21. McGloin - December 17, 2008 11:50 AM
@20
Aren't you gone yet? I wish that shoe would've broke your nose. Asshat.
22. Matthew - December 17, 2008 12:04 PM
@19, to be honest, I'll happily claim all of "pedantic" except the implication of being excessive in requiring formalism, I could have said a lot more in my post and I would then agree I was pedantic, however, I was just alerting the writer as well as everyone else that "Begs the question" is a fallacy. I'm not demanding that everyone must use prompts or raises, I'm just pointing out what is correct and incorrect.
I often skirt the line of pedanticism, I am aware of and comfortable with this fact.

** Soylent gloves are made of PEOPLE!! **
24. ErikHK - December 17, 2008 12:33 PM
REAL!!!!
This is not at all a photoshop job. You can tell it's real because the shadows are all right.
This is not even close to that scene in the movie Always Forward Up where Daisy gets chopped up by angry Internet people, and fed to lolcats.

21. You should be happy I'm still around. Aren't you the racist troll of this blog? Didn't hear Kanye West say that I don't care about black people. You are a confused little boy, your parents should restrict your intertubes usage.
26. McGloin - December 17, 2008 12:52 PM
@25
Please kill me! I'm a trolling, racist pussy!
27. David - December 17, 2008 2:27 PM
Actually you suck even more. These gloves aren't the best for using an iPhone, these are: North Face E-Tip gloves --- http://www.thenorthface.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=207&catalogId=10201&productId=38781&variationId=
28. peter nincompoop - December 17, 2008 3:21 PM
These gloves don't work... well for controlling the iphone... the angel nips are fakes. n face's do work but are like wearing dress socks on your hands (don't keep you warm) and make you look like Tron (which is sweet).

Angel nipples are soooo last year, Angel clits are in....everybody knows that!

McGloin:
I want to shove these in your mouth, and punch you in the stomach until either you throw up or accidentally ingest them. Either way, the joke is on you because I defecated in them beforehand.
