A true symbol of love and devotion. When you want to show you really care, give her the gift of goatse.

I don’t need to click that link… someone early in my Internet life made me aware of goatse. I died a little that day.

And if this ring didn’t look so damn tacky with the “simulated diamonds” I would totally get this for myself as an anniversary gift.

(that’s right, feel sorry for Patty, she has to buy herself anniversary gifts) :p

Okay, so wait- when you wear it facing you, that means you like spreading butt cheeks, and when you wear it facing others, that means you want someone to spread your butt cheeks?

Can you imagine if someone proudly showed you their lovely wedding ring, and it was……that? It would be quite a feat to react without screaming, “Aaaaaaaaaaah, goatse!!!” or just laughing hysterically.

It’s terribly poor form to wear jewellery when engaged in ass play – for so many reasons. Maybe it’s reminding you to remove all sharp objects before contemplating such activity.

Even worse than having someone show you their wedding ring and see that it is this would be being proposed to with a ring in this style by someone unaware of the goatse meme. “What do you mean you said no because of the ring?” “Well…uh…it just reminded me of something.” “What?” “…”

A Claddagh ring shows two hands HOLDING the heart and a crown on top. You DON’T have the hands RIPPING the heart apart. Or are they fighting over the heart? I don’t see love in this ring. I see violence.

#42 BillsBayou :

Symbolism:
- Heart = Love (duh)
- Silver Heart = Pure Love
- Diamonds = Rock Solid, Unyielding Love
(Then it gets dark)
- The emptiness of the heart represents unrequited love.
- The hands represent a refusal to let go.
- The gold of the hands represents an over-compensation for inadequacies the giver feels but will be made golden during an extended period of your captivity in an undisclosed location.

If you get this ring as a gift, call the police and join witness protection.

I think what bothers me the most is the lack of crown. The crown symbolizes loyalty and fidelity. What does it say about you if you want a Claddah ring without that?

Also, I agree. Those hands look angry.
