So it looks like the plantation is getting nervous and trying to lure dudes back...

The marriage industry is in a free fall and its business forecast is very negative indeed. A man has got to be a special kind of moron to get married nowadays and Prince Harry is most definitely #1 on that list. But we knew that long ago when he decided to join the British Army instead of Navy or RAF.

Kaitoku_Not_Found · 2017-12-17T05:26:30+00:00

I can get one for 230 bucks. WITHOUT the nagging, divorce raping "wife".

RadicalAsceticMonk · 2017-12-17T04:34:12+00:00

Saw this just now on TV as a commercial. The deal is, you buy the shiny object for the woman and you get a gaming system and an hour of peace to play it. For a minimum of 1000 bucks, of course.

Lmao. Desperation.

Mean while I just finished a full Saturday video game day netting me 14 hours of xenoblade chronicles 2 on switch (I'm the type to get EVERYTHING done in games like this and I'm pushing 200 hr overall and not even close to beating it) and im going to do the same tomorrow.

Life is good!

2017-12-17T04:34:51+00:00

she'll just throw it out or smash the TV.

Buy the xbox one s somewhere else, save the rest or blow it on hookers, but don't give it to these fucks!

subgamer90 · 2017-12-17T06:32:16+00:00

whats funny is the bitch will just nag you so much you won't even be able to play it

tiredofshit · 2017-12-17T06:12:56+00:00

This is the funniest shit I've seen all day.

Funny that these two items completely contradict each other.

gods_bones · 2017-12-17T07:48:58+00:00

This might legit be the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life lmao. Everybody already knows he'll be forced to sell the XBOX on Craigslist the day after the wedding anyway.

rockinhard130 · 2017-12-17T08:11:40+00:00

I bought my Xbox One two years ago for a steal from some sap who was getting divorced for the third time. You'd think he'd have learned his lesson...

toolazytoregisterlol · 2017-12-17T09:40:51+00:00

LMAO. Aren't these things opposites? Fun machine representing freedom and carefree entertainment vs ball and chain.

Teflon0819 · 2017-12-17T07:06:25+00:00

What point is there in having an Xbox if your wife won't allow you to play it though?

GemStarCN21 · 2017-12-17T07:15:47+00:00

Sniff, sniff......you smell that? Smells like desperation to me.

strangerthing7 · 2017-12-17T07:48:35+00:00

That is the most ridiculous offer I've ever seen

This is bad for my job, I work on a diamond mine...

realChebz · 2017-12-17T08:38:12+00:00

With every purchase of a leash you get a free treat. Then you put the leash on your neck, hand the other end to your master and eat a treat. At a minimum this is degrading.

2017-12-17T08:58:52+00:00

They should also give out free fedoras. Those are the only people who are still interested in getting married.

oneofmany4 · 2017-12-17T09:10:33+00:00

Lol, this can't be real. Like, holy shit, this level of desperation--and so blunt! Is this real life? Rofl.

ALTMGTOWACCOUNT · 2017-12-17T09:13:44+00:00

Holy shit I can't tell if this is legit or some very good satire. Either way its fucking AMAZING!!111

KingreX32 · 2017-12-17T12:50:31+00:00

That is hilarious. If buddy was getting married though he probably wouldn't get any time to game on it anyways.

drewbotski · 2017-12-17T13:22:41+00:00

The irony that if you buy her that ring she wont be letting you play that xbox

bman0001 · 2017-12-17T14:36:51+00:00

See guys? You can totally get married and still continue to enjoy gaming.

GunnarX · 2017-12-17T15:22:58+00:00

What a great way to ruin a marriage - receiving a gaming console with the purchase of an overpriced piece of rock that just shows how needy you are in the first place.

Why not just buy the Xbox and ditch the wymmon? I’d prefer to play my Call of Duty in peace.

ThePanther99 · 2017-12-17T16:42:42+00:00

Fuck that, I will never marry. Not spending 20k on an engagement ring, and 20k on a wedding. Ive seen my friend go broke because of a damn engagement ring!

--Edog-- · 2017-12-17T18:00:43+00:00

I worked with someone who had worked in a marketing capacity for Helzberg. She explained that the entire "big expensive diamond ring" = a pre-condition for a marriage proposal concept was mostly a marketing concoction. Basically diamonds are not actually rare, so not really precious, since the supply is artificially limited by diamond cartels (like DeBeers) in order to make each rock more expensive. (For instance, the Russians recently found a diamond mine with billions of diamonds) and the whole "3 months salary" for an engagement ring concept is also a marketing trope. I just looked at her like she told me gravity wasn't real.

From Wikipedia: The modern popularity of diamonds was largely created by De Beers Consolidated Mines Ltd., which established the first large-scale diamonds mines in South Africa. Through an advertising campaign beginning in the 1930s and continuing into the mid-20th century, De Beers made diamonds into a key part of the betrothal process and a coveted symbol of status. The diamond's high value has been the driving force behind dictators and revolutionary entities, especially in Africa, using slave and child labor to mine blood diamonds to fund conflicts. Though popularly believed to derive its value from its rarity, gem-quality diamonds are quite common compared to rare gemstones such as alexandrite, and annual global rough diamond production is estimated to be about 130 million carats (26 tonnes; 29 short tons).[1] The value of diamonds is attributed largely to the industry's tight control over this supply.[citation needed]

I actually know a guy whose wife divorced him for too much gaming. I once ran into him at a gaming store years ago. Now, this is not one of my closest friends. Just a friendly acquaintance. He begged a few dollars off me to buy the game he wanted. Never paid me back. Addict much?

robowriter · 2017-12-17T09:52:06+00:00

Not for me but that could happen. Change a few laws. Custody. The MRAs will cream themselves.

Itisforsexy · 2017-12-17T11:07:06+00:00

This is literally baiting the trap.

2017-12-17T13:30:33+00:00

Haha this is gold

rpbanker · 2017-12-17T14:07:47+00:00

Which goes to show you how big the markup on jewelry is...

Rick_OShay1 · 2017-12-17T14:09:57+00:00

So, are they offering a free Xbox with the purchase of a feminine ring?

TheSilverShade · 2017-12-17T15:15:56+00:00

HA! jokes on them I'm a PC guy! Nice try ladies

Camp_KillYourself · 2017-12-17T16:40:13+00:00

needs to be xbone x to be taken seriously

jamesbwbevis · 2017-12-17T17:05:50+00:00

This is blatant , desperate pandering lol

XenoTheGreenKnight · 2017-12-17T17:43:26+00:00

I gave up women and video games on the same day dude: they can keep it

2017-12-17T17:45:59+00:00

I really don't understand this.

Drey101 · 2017-12-17T17:52:40+00:00

lol it’s offered as a backup plan

ShiningConcepts · 2017-12-17T21:40:28+00:00

Wow. I mean, just... wow. This is sad.

Though these ring stores are mainly looking towards a male audience. Can't say this isn't a feasible business strategy, they do know their customer!

LifeBeforeInternet · 2017-12-17T22:22:27+00:00

Pathetic

GreatBayTemple · 2017-12-20T08:32:45+00:00

Triple A title right there.
