- seeversjm, on 10/12/2007, -6/+131I'd like to thank Digg and the users of Digg for making this possible cuz.....I'm so getting one!
- driftwood07, on 10/12/2007, -3/+100i think more credit should go to the inventor of the product than the people who said OMG I LIKE THAT!!!!11
- theshiz892, on 10/12/2007, -3/+82saying you'll buy one and buying one are two completely different things. i can just see it now "I woud so buy that tie if it were real!1!@!" (later) "awww, 20 dollars, i dont wanna spend my beer money on that... maybe later..."
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+72Hah! Joke's on them! Wait'll they see that no one will buy them. I wrote all those emails. My reverse-April Fool's prank is almost complete.

- LR2_, on 10/12/2007, -2/+62For those of you who haven't read the message.
ThinkGeek: "Hey! You! Quit emailing us to make this for REAL already ;) We promise, we'll make it. In fact we are already working on it. You've just forced our hand! Click the 'email me when available' link above to get notified! Thanks! I guess the joke is on us this year :p" - fober, on 10/12/2007, -1/+56And you thought that keyboard wallet was a chick magnet.

It's an 8-bit tie, not a two-bit one. - Billiam627, on 10/12/2007, -4/+49I cant wait to show up on the first day of my internship wearing one of these.
- robbh66, on 10/12/2007, -29/+59And you think Digg accomplished this why?
Can't wait to see how many negative diggs i get on this one. Chumps. - AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -2/+31This just goes to prove that ThinkGeek ***** rocks. :-]
Count me in on the 'Buy' crowd, I already buy a ton of my clothes and stuff there. - Ikon, on 10/12/2007, -9/+35w00t! Now all we need is some 8-bit panties for our girlfriends, now thats a turn on!
- Blah_Blah_Blah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25its not a clip on, its hot swappable.
- pastasauce, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26...Or the President.
- targetX, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26stop pretending already, we all know you're lying...
- uaioe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Anyone who wears this in public will be intelligent (or confident) enough to be far above caring what some mouth-breathing waste of flesh and oxygen has to say about their tie.
Gettting your feelings hurt by people making fun of your clothes is somehing that goes away shortly after junior high. Except for maybe the aforementioned mouth-breathers.
So... how about you do us a favour and carry a tissue with you, so you don't inadvertantly drool on our carpets here, you half-wit? - PhantomZmoove, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21It is a clip on, it says it right in the description.
- AceTracer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Great. Can we get our 1-UP mushroom now?
- ph30nix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19now if only we could get them to make the battle pirranahs
- schmitey, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21what?!? Damn...I already made one.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19it's called a clip tie (otherwise it wouldn't be 100% geeky)
- pinab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16i want the inhalable caffeine :D
- KuntaKinte, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17i can't wait to see some big executive wearing this
- everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17yeah, whatever man. i'm buying this and wearing it to my job at Fry's Electronics. gonna be awesome.
- ayeroxor, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17"I find you're lack of faith in Digg.com disturbing."
You find I am lack what? - saintdesy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Yeah, it would be a rather nerdy tie. You'd really have to wear it in the ironic sense rather than be seriously walking around thinking it was really cool. That said, however, I was one of the people who bothered in to e-mail them an ask for it.
- btraut, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Maybe if we all work together we can get them to make the Wii Helmet, too!
- N1NJ4hippie, on 10/12/2007, -7/+19I can't wait to get one of these. Digg thank you for this dream come true.
- DesolataX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Awesome!
8-bit laptop cases and backpacks would rock too! - rjam710, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11@thespinner
Let's put it this way, if you find a cute girl that says, "Cool 8-bit tie!"... MARRY HER. - uaioe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11"And you think Digg accomplished this why?
Can't wait to see how many negative diggs i get on this one. Chumps"
Here's a good one, the letter I got from Thinkgeek after starting the first "petition" Digg email campaign:
"Hi Sean,
Thanks so much for the support. While we originally 100% intended the 8-bit tie to be an April Fools gag, over the past few weeks so many of our internal folks and friends wanted one, so we decided to go ahead and work on making them for real and also launching them for 4/1 since well, to make it interesting. Anywho, when they are available, I will be certain to send you a couple for helping spread the word. Just gimme your snail mail addy. Take care! Thanks -Willie

Cocaine is a hell of a drug. - robbh66, on 10/12/2007, -27/+37I can't wait to see the next headline:
Digg cures cancer and solves world hunger! Way to go Digg! - idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10You have costumes to roleplay Nintendo characters.
Sorry. I just had to type that out loud. - blahtastic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Seriously...In the mean time, 1 white button mushroom + black sharpie + green sharpie + 10 minutes...I think you see where I'm going here.
- Karyyk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9What do you mean? This is Digg. 97% of the people who Digg articles have never read them.
- vemerge, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Yeah that's way cooler than I thought it would be. Count me in.
- bobothn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9That is both really kinky and kind of disturbing.
- LeFrenzy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8just when you think we're all "that" geeky, we take geekiness to a whole new level.
Awesome looking tie. - Benjamin2040, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"And you'd actually wear it!? I'm sure it'll be a hit with the ladies...."
So you only ever wear stuff that is a 'hit with the ladies'? I think someone has issues... - SwampyUK, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8@ajgv
That would be ok - they could be pseudo isometric 3d like Knight Lore :) - SonOfDad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7If only this would have worked with the "wireless extension cords"
http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/wec.shtml - cdcdark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Yeah, me too. You should have seen the excitement in my face when trying to type in "50" to the quantity box and order :(
- ayeroxor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"What was originally intended as an Aprils Fool joke, is quickly becoming reality. "
Are you referring to your raping of commas? - pitfallharry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I'm shocked it doesn't come as a Bow Tie to 100% complete the nerd factor.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5We already have a Mario style moustache...Now if only I could find a replica of Samus' helmet me and my girlfriend's role-play wardrobe will be complete! Thanks Thinkgeek!
- yomomo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8I didn't know that High schoolers were so into ties. It should be a pretty funny Prom. How many allowances are you going to have to save to get it?
- RyanChappell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Tatoos are for morons! You don't go to work with Tats showing!
- Jarasmen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I'm so getting this. This will probably be the first thing I will ship from USA. Yay!
- GuyHitByTruck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I hope it comes in more colors than blue..
