Tell Me I Haven't Just Discovered The Greatest Pen Ever!

Style, taste, sophistication, this pen has none of those but is sooooo ridiculous, kitsch and appalling I find myself strangely drawn to it. Come on!! - a pen with a Cobra waiting to strike the minute you dis the Peoples Communist Party. Jinhao you have really excelled yourself here. My only hesitation in buying one is that I fear it might hypnotize me into becoming a Communist "Trust in me . . . ".

You've not found the perfect thing as there is no such thing as a perfect anything.

 

In regards to this pen, it's a little too flash for me. I like my pens to be of the traditional shape which this pen is far from. The joy with everything though is that we all have different opinions.

I'm pretty sure it will neither hypnotize you nor strangle you. However, it does look heavy, so try not to drop it on your foot! :P

 

The other thing it would do is make anyone question your taste. That is really fugly! Of course I have the same reaction to many overly ornate Chinese pens.

Am I sensing that you may not appreciate the ironic humour in my thread title?

Apparently. ;)
