Gaudy French millionaires drool over Yubz solid gold phone

The Yubz telephone makes the argument that even iPhones can't escape irony's tacky, far-reaching arm. For US$50 and the cost of shipping from France, you can own this ridiculous handset that plugs into your iPhone and lets you pretend you're Donald Trump in the early 1970s.

It'll be out in mid-November on the Yubz Web site, but if you simply can't wait until they inevitably show up in your local mall's Spencer Gifts, they're also available for preorder.

Finally, if a solid gold telephone triggers your gag reflexes as much as it does mine, you can also opt to have your phone painted rose, rouge, jaune, noir, orange, or vert, according to the Web site. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go Google four out of six of those colors.
