moving on to the realm of tacky, tacky evil

[threeplusfire]

Work has been steady and not too bad this week. Now, for some reason, ShopNBC is home to a large amount of unholy ugly. But the September 11th Twin Towers pendant really takes the cake for just wrong. Not only is it bad taste, but this is a dollar coin for the British Virgin Islands. There's a picture of the Queen on the other side? Whiskey... Tango... Foxtrot? Really? Who buys stuff like this?

[Poll #1310301]

Pamela McCoy is a popular seller for ShopNBC. I see many, many reviews for her things. Unfortunately, a lot of them are terrifying. There's a lot of fringe, and leather thong stitching that makes things look like they came out of a summer camp project for delinquent girls. Not to mention all the animal prints. Does anyone really need a fitted tiger print blazer with a zipper?

I was thinking, who wears jewelry that commemorates a tragedy? Then I thought of crucifixes. I mean, I get the symbolism but I've seen some gruesome ones.

Hey, at least they're not in flames on one side of the coin. This is pretty lame, but I have definitely seen worse.

It's like a sovereign ring that's totally confused about its identity or purpose in life.

For bonsu points, members of the taste-challenged chav subculture in the UK love sovereign rings!

WTF! Its not an actual issued coin is it? And if so I'm a bit confused because obviously the different states DO each have an individualized quarter but I thought there was only one standard dollar coin. And yes putting the twin towers on a coin is kind of strange. MAYBE it would make sense for NEW YORK but its just.. in suspect taste for somewhere else to do it. And finally.. WTF with THE QUEEN on the back?! There's British Virgin Islands, and US Virgin Islands, aand the US Virgin Islands have no British history -- we bought them from DENMARK. So... Double You Tee Eff!!

Total WTF points: 60.
