Programmable Belt Buckles

The Scrolling Belt Buckle Sends Silent Messages Across the Room

Living in a country with freedom of speech means you can say whatever you want, so why not make a statement with your programmable scrolling belt buckle?

While it's probably impossible to keep these lit all the time, depending on messages programmed, it's good to know that there is an off button for these contraptions. The scrolling belt buckles can hold up to six messages, each with a maximum character count of 256, which is almost twice the amount Twitter lets you use. This literal statement item is excellent for flashing crazy messages to friends or even strangers across the room and what better way to catch someone's attention than with a scrolling marquee of all the colors of the spectrum.
