Baseball Cuffs - Lame design by snooty designer

Elsewares.com has "Baseball Cuffs" made from genuine leather baseballs. The opening line in the product description is "At long last we've managed to find some real fashion for sports fans." Sounds like the emo loving, cooler-than-you people who run the site don't respect the fashion statements made by such great athletes as Clinton Portis. But anyway, as for these cuffs, what's the point? A. They're ugly and B. They serve no discernable function. Are they for warmth? Sweat absorption? Suicide prevention?
