What did I just watch?! :huh:

 

 

 

( :lticaptd: )

 

I'm still trying to figure it out. Just watched it with my wife who's into advertising and public relations and we were wondering how much weed they smoke at Montegrappa...

Ummmm....I want those few minutes of my life back...

 

And that just continues MGs new trend of putting out tastefully ugly pens!

I watched the video without sound. Did that help? *Please* tell me that helped....

I'm not sure that "tasteful" described those pens. Maybe they're trying to cater to the demographics which made _The Avengers_ such a huge hit. Except that they misunderstood, and instead of Marvel Comics's movie they used that travesty of the old TV show _The Avengers_ by mistake (it must be a mistake -- I don't think John Steed would have used one of these... although Mrs. Peel might have been able to use one as a weapon...).

I'm afraid to even contemplate what the price on these is. OTOH, is anyone dumb even to buy one?

They must see a market that would go for this. There is the whole "Touched by an Angel" crowd that would love this (if it isn't beyond their price point). I can see a couple of televangelists buying one.

Both the Pen and the Watch are far too conservative, now Dragons with Ruby Eyes maybe......

That video requires a few stiff drinks or some hallucinogens to make it watchable, let alone comprehensibel.

OTOH, this one may be so unpopular and so few sold that in a couple of decades the collectors with checkbooks will be fighting each other at the market.

YMMV

This is the same, obviously occult, company that brought you that demonic Sylvester Stallone pen.

 

PS - Not that there's anything wrong with the occult or demons but who wants that kinda stuff in your house.

Well hold on to your wigs and saddle your pigs! Check this one out:

Wow these are so bad that the almost could be … no they are just an abomination.

From the video, obviously targeted at those with more dollars than brain cells. To be fair, Montegrappa aren't the only company with this target market.

True, but they least advertise it with a bit more um... (bleep)... what's the word... sophistication?

The text actually said "Montegrappa's Magnum Opus" so maybe they consider this to be the best possible ugly pen they can ever possibly make?...

 

(i personally felt the Chaos "trailer" was much, much cheesier, btw.)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
