If you were anywhere on the Internet on April Fools Day, you were probably linked to ThinkGeek’s annual prankathon somewhere down the line – and if you were, you were probably one of the hundred thousands that salivated over the world’s geekiest tie. They had a lot of other great fake products as usual, but truly, only the 8-bit tie shone as a product that should have existed years ago.

And I’m apparently not the only guy that thinks so. As ThinkGeek writes, they’ve more or less recognized the power they’d unleashed:

Hey! You! Quit emailing us to make this for REAL already ;) We promise, we’ll make it. In fact we are already working on it. You’ve just forced our hand! Click the ‘email me when available’ link above to get notified! Thanks! I guess the joke is on us this year :p

Not only that, but even commenters in this Digg thread are working hard on rolling these things off the production line and onto the necks of the nerdy public at large.

How do you feel, rebels? Would you actually wear one of these?
