Sure , contemporary symbolic token of friendship & love , meet contempor-aneus stylee, for celebtrating luv friendship & I wanna’ f*ck you in the ass .
Haha you’re right Kristenrana, it does look like Ronald McDonald’s hands! Ooh, now why did they name that other one Grimace? McDonald’s has just achieved a new level of perversion in my mind.
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?
Did I get that right?
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?” “…”
Well, I clicked the link against my better judgment. Score another one for ‘things I have seen on the internet that can never be erased from my brain.’
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.
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.
Uh, WHAT?! Nothing says love like the ruling of an iron fist. Or… a gold fist… or a gold plated fist… OR IT’S JUST A GOLD COLOURED FIST, OK?!! Pass the magic markers please.
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?
i love this from their comments page: “Nice ring. Couldn’t decide if I wanted to keep it cause it’s a little bigger than I thought. Gave it to my daughter and she loved it.”
Well, that’ll teach me to click after I’ve been duly warned. J H Christ on a cracker, I must be a lot older than I thought. I am so disgusted I may never recover. {{{{{{shudder}}}}}}}
If it were an actual circle instead of a heart, I would buy it for the giggle I would get every time I looked at it. Pink “simulated diamonds” would be even better =D
::cackle:: My boyfriend is giving me this ring for our anniversary. I fully intend to wear the hell out of it, show it off to everyone, and watch who chokes in recognition.
July 21, 2010 at 4:33 pm
Dear God, do not click that link!
July 21, 2010 at 4:38 pm
A true symbol of love and devotion. When you want to show you really care, give her the gift of goatse.
July 21, 2010 at 4:39 pm
Now I have The J. Geils Band’s “Love Stinks” stuck in my head.
July 21, 2010 at 4:40 pm
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

The recession has certainly hit the precious metals industry hard. Platinum and gold used to be special.
July 21, 2010 at 4:42 pm
Because a gift of lube doesn’t always win them over.
July 21, 2010 at 4:43 pm
I wonder what’s been around long: the Irish or ass play. Has to be ass play. I’ve seen monkeys at the zoo.
July 21, 2010 at 4:45 pm
Relax.
July 21, 2010 at 4:46 pm
Wait, are those hands modeled after Ronald McDonald’s? This just got creepier.
July 21, 2010 at 4:49 pm
What do you think the “Giver” version looks like?
July 21, 2010 at 4:57 pm
well, you learn something new everyday… and now I know what to call what that guy was doing in John Waters’ Pink Flamingos. Set to music no less.
July 21, 2010 at 5:02 pm
at least now we know where Nicole’s arm went.

July 21, 2010 at 5:37 pm
The most disturbing part is where is asks if I know my size.
July 21, 2010 at 5:50 pm
Well, at least you can save 50% off retail. No sense in overpaying for your anus ring.
July 21, 2010 at 5:51 pm
“A contemporary version of the traditional Irish wedding ring” because obviously, the traditional version was a prude.
July 21, 2010 at 5:52 pm
Well, he’s probably not really into you if he’s only spending $24.95.
July 21, 2010 at 6:22 pm
If the Irish had known about this ring, and goatse, I doubt they would have saved civilization.
July 21, 2010 at 6:37 pm

Oh, for the days goetse was just a caramel cream…

This gives a whole new meaning to that Come on Eileen song.
July 21, 2010 at 7:16 pm
They did say “modern”…Modern relationships just aren’t exciting unless you’re spreading your anus open for your partner. Or the internet.
July 21, 2010 at 7:34 pm

July 21, 2010 at 7:37 pm
That ring just looks angry to me. Like the hands are trying to rip the heart apart.
Could be I’m just PMSing though.
July 21, 2010 at 7:43 pm
BUTT where’s the crown?????
July 21, 2010 at 7:57 pm
I love you, from the heart of my bottom.
July 21, 2010 at 8:06 pm
From the comment section: “This ring cured my cancer! I’ve never felt better in my life!”
July 21, 2010 at 8:30 pm
Everybody knows goatse + hearts = cure for cancer, I dunno why scientists are so slow on this.
July 21, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Okay, I read the ring’s Comments section-which one of you goes by “Jolanda”?
July 21, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Well, I clicked the link against my better judgment. Score another one for ‘things I have seen on the internet that can never be erased from my brain.’
July 21, 2010 at 10:34 pm
If you haven’t read the comments on that page DO SO NOW!
July 21, 2010 at 11:24 pm
Thanks for the ‘heads up’ -a few of the comments are priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 22, 2010 at 2:59 am
oh dear god. I did not know what it meant; until now.
this ring has issues.
July 22, 2010 at 5:49 am
I guess love means never having to say “Let’s goatse”.
July 22, 2010 at 5:51 am
This has to be the best comment of them all, regardless of whether or not the person was in on the goatse bit:
“I absolutely love this ring. Every time I look in to it I am reminded of a beautiful experience and it holds so many memories for me. “
July 22, 2010 at 6:04 am
“Not as big as I thought it would be, but big enough!”
The comments are great because they, like the goatse ring, are so understated.
July 22, 2010 at 6:54 am
“I want you to fill the hole in my heart with your love.”
July 22, 2010 at 6:55 am

July 22, 2010 at 7:07 am
From the comments page (this guy gets it!)
“With this ring I can forever immortalize one of my favorite websites and only those “in the know” react to it! I love it! So inconspicuous!”
July 22, 2010 at 7:10 am
I learned 2 new words today. One of them is Claddagh.
July 22, 2010 at 7:17 am
I wonder, can get my jeweler to make me “Two Girls One Ring”?
July 22, 2010 at 7:49 am
Uh, WHAT?! Nothing says love like the ruling of an iron fist. Or… a gold fist… or a gold plated fist… OR IT’S JUST A GOLD COLOURED FIST, OK?!! Pass the magic markers please.
July 22, 2010 at 8:52 am
So when they said “rip you a new one” this is what they meant.
July 22, 2010 at 10:56 am
Oh god, is this the next step in vajazzling?
July 22, 2010 at 11:05 am
I love you this (insert goatsee here) MUCH!!!
July 22, 2010 at 11:53 am
@ #10 kirstenrana and #14 Xniner: You’re right, this ring gives new meaning to the question “do you want to supersize that?”
July 22, 2010 at 1:58 pm
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.
July 23, 2010 at 8:24 am

I always hated Claddaghs.
July 29, 2010 at 11:28 am
reminds me of prisoners holding prison bars with handcuffs on hmmm symbolism?

When you get it, please sing “What what in the butt.”
July 29, 2010 at 3:41 pm
If it were an actual circle instead of a heart, I would buy it for the giggle I would get every time I looked at it. Pink “simulated diamonds” would be even better =D

aynart, the “Gave it to my daughter and she loved it.” comment disturbed/amused me too.

$25 is a bargain for this. I want it in real white gold with real diamonds.
