Kids these days. They don't know how rough we had it back in the 20th century. Sigh. Although, this would be rough- if your classmates all had them:



Because, Five Star is coming out with binders that hold your iPod and have SPEAKERS in them. Oh, the cacophony of all the different boy bands and Rihanna and whatever the heck else 8th graders like nowadays would be much too much to bear.

And, these binders look really dorky- like a wetsuit had an accident with a blender.

For the record, Mead still makes Trapper Keepers and has the same 80s-font logo, but the newfangled TKs come with features like "comfort grip" and don't have ANY pictures of a unicorn, Pac-Man, or ET on them.

Thanks for keeping up with the kids, ShinyShiny!
