Ties Suck Necktie
What it is: A silk tie with a binary pattern print that says, "Ties Suck", when translated into ASCII.
Why we love it: You may think there's no need for a tie in today’s "every day is casual Friday" workplace. But there are still those special meetings where dressing up is required. For those days, the "Ties Suck" tie is the perfect choice for Dilbert-loving computer geeks. To the non-techie, it looks like an innocuous silk tie. But those who know ASCII, the repeating binary pattern actually hide the message, "Ties Suck". Sort of a passive-aggressive way to stick it to "the Man"!
Who we'd give it to: Computer geeks, engineering grads and tech-loving dads and brothers.
Where to get it: From Thinkgeek.com for a geek-savvy $24.99.
