- HuskyPuzzle, on 06/10/2008, -4/+179A sucker's born every minute and ads like that are designed to trick weak people into spending their money on ***** they don't need. But yeah, extremely annoying.
- zaneperry, on 06/10/2008, -10/+165The Most Obnoxious Title EVER!
Digg should filter capslock - abarysh2, on 06/10/2008, -1/+145"OMG He went to Jared!"
GRRR throw something at the TV - dave122, on 06/10/2008, -0/+123False. The Jared ad's are 10000000000000000000X more annoying.
- kovac9478, on 06/10/2008, -4/+115diamonds are nice, but liquor is quicker
- greytfriend, on 06/10/2008, -5/+100I'm not a regular woman. I never really dreamed about the "perfect" ring. I'd rather have a downpayment on a house. If the time comes for me, I'll be more concerned with if it's pretty than the size or quality of the stones. An engagement ring is not an investment, except in sentiment.

One afternoon a little girl returned from school, and announced that her friend had told her where babies come from. Amused, her mother replied "Really, sweetie, why don't you tell me all about it?" The little girl explained, "Well... OK... the Mommy and Daddy take off all of their clothes, and the Daddy's thing sort of stands up, and the Mommy puts it in her mouth, and then it sort of explodes, and that's where babies come from." Her Mom shook her head, leaned over to meet her, eye to eye and said, "Oh, honey, that's sweet, but that's not where babies come from. That's where jewelry comes from." - sockpuppets, on 06/10/2008, -0/+83I make my own diamonds by crushing kingsford charcoal against my forehead.
- BaseballGuyCAA, on 06/10/2008, -2/+81Diamonds: She'll pretty much have to.
- inactive, on 06/10/2008, -3/+68Wait 'til you see what you have to buy for the 25th anniversary.
I got off lucky and just bought her a car. - MrTito, on 06/10/2008, -0/+65No, this is the most obnoxious ad ever.

Anyone who lives in the greater Birmingham area has experienced the 5:00 a.m. Suzuki Man infomercials. Watch for the racial stereotypes and tips for beating women. - badwithcomputer, on 06/10/2008, -0/+63what about HEAD ON! apply directly to forehead!
- NightcrawlerX, on 06/10/2008, -6/+58Men who feel the pressure to buy such thing are weak.
- sockpuppets, on 06/10/2008, -0/+44What's a ring when you'll be getting half of his stuff anyway?
- rlopezde, on 06/10/2008, -0/+42a car? no wonder you call yourself cashman57!
- TitanX7, on 06/10/2008, -2/+36I once saw an add that said.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE. YOU ARE THE 1,000,000TH VISITOR
I thought that was pretty obnoxious. - jeremyduffy, on 06/10/2008, -1/+35Maybe it's just me, but ALL diamond advertisement are obnoxious. I moved away from the West coast and their constant radio ads for the "diamond importer" only to find out there's one on the East coast too that advertises just as much.
They must make hella profit to be able to afford being every other ad on every station like that. - doctechnical, on 06/10/2008, -0/+33"Now you *have* to blow him!"
- AriaStar, on 06/11/2008, -2/+34Unfortunately these ads also put it into the minds of women that we're supposed to expect big diamonds, the bigger the diamond, the more he loves us. It's so ***** annoying.
- Buddhaismybuddy, on 06/10/2008, -0/+32You know the "rule" that you are supposed to spend 2-3 months pay when you get an engagement ring. That rule was invented as an ad campaign by Debeers, the worlds largest diamond company. Why do people fall for that *****?
- AriaStar, on 06/10/2008, -0/+31Guys, the right one would be happy with a twist tie wrapped around her finger. Don't buy the propaganda.
- DeskFlyer, on 06/10/2008, -1/+31No kidding. "Oh my god HE WENT TO JARED!' :squeals:
Those ads make me want to stab somebody in the eye with a spork. - AriaStar, on 06/11/2008, -0/+28I told my sweetie that I don't want a diamond. I don't need a ring at all, but he wants to do the whole proposal thing anyway. So I told him if a ring matters, go for a white sapphire. Looks the same for about 1% of the cost. The stone we got that will be set is a 1ct white sapphire equivalent to a VVS quality diamond...for $26.
Debeers started the whole two-months-salary and diamond craze. It's really stupid. - ThreeDee912, on 06/10/2008, -0/+28But... But... He went to Jared!
- DucoNihilum, on 06/10/2008, -3/+28You're just pissed because you went to that other place.
- krazykor, on 06/11/2008, -0/+24Yeah, if you're a pussy and use store bought coal... I mine it myself
- kmusser, on 06/11/2008, -0/+24Wow, just wow. Its like a car wreck, I can't stop watching it.
- statstudent, on 06/11/2008, -1/+24i think this brings up an important point... it is worth considering NOT getting a diamond, even in engagement rings.
there are ethical reasons not to get a diamond. the more diamonds that are bought drives up the price, even if those diamonds come from a mine where workers are treated humanely. so, buying diamonds essentially supports slave labor, even if indirectly.
thankfully my girlfriend understands. she brought it up not liking diamonds, not me, which made it an even easier choice for me (i'm in the market for an engagement ring, NOT with a diamond).
oh yeah, and they are expensive and are pointless. - TedsGame, on 06/10/2008, -0/+22Spence diamonds of Edmonton, Canada advertises even worse than this. They go by the "cheapest diamonds" you can find, but they're not really cheap at all, it's just that the targeted girlfriend will think that. It's a lose-lose situation, you spend lots of money on a diamond, but she's gonna think you got it for cheap.
- inactive, on 06/11/2008, -0/+21Diamonds are for Tools
(they are good for drills and saw blades as well) - plainOldFool, on 06/10/2008, -2/+22Diamonds ... Leave Her Speechless
Translation:
Diamonds ... That Oughta Shut Her Up - ray8753, on 06/11/2008, -1/+20now this is priceless......
- Jazz837, on 06/10/2008, -1/+20www.sonadiamond.com
Great alternative for natural diamonds. These are lab created, made from carbon (which is all a diamond is anyway), and you're not contributing to wars in Africa. No one can tell the difference....trust me. And you'll pay a fraction of the cost of a "real" diamond. - dleesgeetar, on 06/10/2008, -2/+21i seriously have to tear my gf from jewelry store windows at times, i mean, its a joke but still . . .
- BlueSkyfish, on 06/10/2008, -1/+19Sweet, now I can use this for the laser in my homemade lightsaber replica. I mean... buy earrings for my girlfriend.
- 1KrazyKorean, on 06/10/2008, -2/+20EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- inactive, on 06/11/2008, -0/+18Hello,
This is Bank of America calling, we notice that your mortgage payments are behind. You blew all your money on a large ass diamond in a feeble attempt to be the man. - chanop, on 06/10/2008, -0/+18Do you take this woman to be your future ex-wife?
- ligyron, on 06/11/2008, -2/+20A guy, obviously
- edstate, on 06/10/2008, -3/+20Ooooh! Teh advertizemnt is tooo powerful!
- EntropyFan, on 06/11/2008, -1/+18I remember an ad where it starts with the guy giving the girl that kind of ring ( they looked middle class, so a fair chunk of change for 3 months pay). They fast forward 20 or so years, and she sits there looking at it like 'ok, its nice'.
Then they stop, rewind, and show him investing that money in something safe. Easy returns, not a lot of risk. they then take that money and help send the kid they had to collage. Like pay most of it.
We need more ads like that. - inactive, on 06/11/2008, -11/+28The idea is to get laid for a long time. Then get the ring, divorce, find a younger girl, rinse and repeat as needed.
- leerayIG88, on 06/10/2008, -5/+22"I'm not a regular woman"
What are you? - BOFH2, on 06/11/2008, -1/+17If that is your mantra then why buy the ring at all? There are plenty of skanks for you.
- doctechnical, on 06/10/2008, -1/+17Bring back the dowry!
- indiegirl7, on 06/10/2008, -2/+18I've never really quite understood this concept of buying an expensive diamond ring. Sure, it looks nice. But that's all it is, just a ring. Why not spend the money on something you both would love, like a relaxing vacation or an awesome new entertainment system with a LCD TV, surround sound and all the works. Nothing's better than relaxing with a cold beer and watching some football on the weekends.
- anagoge, on 06/11/2008, -0/+16Two girls? Gentleman, quick! To the bunker! There's an invasion!
- orgazmo, on 06/11/2008, -0/+15Holy *****, this is the worst ripoff ever! It's 99$ a month with zero down? Sure, if by 99$ a month you're expecting to have your normal payment reduced to 99$ a month for the first 3 months and having to pay the balance of those 3 reduced months at the end of the lease, with interest of course!
I'm so glad we have laws against these fraudulent techniques in Canada. No wonder America is going bust... "HEY! 99$ a month!! I can has pay datz!"
http://www.birminghamsuzuki.com/specials/new.htm - RedMoonGenie, on 06/10/2008, -2/+16OMG a shiny rock?!?!?!
Surely now I will slobber all over your knob.
Because I'm a small-brained female who only understands love through PRESENTS!!
