Neon cables for iPod headsets
Saint Patrick's day is just a few weeks away. And what says "American Irish" more than green beer, green face paint, and green glowing neon iPod earphones? Akihabara News tracked down these fabulous iPod-compatible neon cables that flash along with your music--whether you're listening to Dexy's Midnight Runners, Thin Lizzy or U2. The cables, which run off a pair of AAA batteries, are available for purchase at this entirely-in-Japanese site. So good luck with that ordering!

You're wrong, Erica. Nothing says "American Irish" like my name...
Plus only the non-Irish drink green beer. Oh, and you forgot The Corrs and Snow Patrol...
I think that about covers it! :-D
Oh, I forgot: Guinness is good for you!

These have been out for a while. The ones you link to and show are quite possibly knock-offs. The original ones were called iBeat and were available online and at stores like Sharper Image, where I bought mine. I tried them on once and they have been in a drawer ever since. Interesting idea that didn't turn out well. Not worth your money.

Dexys Midnight Runners (spelled without an apostrophe) are English, not Irish.

Homer: Lisa, did you see the Grammys?
Lisa: You beat Dexy's Midnight Runners.
Homer: Well, you haven't heard the last of them.

These are just horrible, I can't imagine why anyone over the age of 8 would want them.
