Some of my favourite comments:


I bought the red model of this product and found that it blends in well
with blood when you have been attacked by a zombie.

Worked fine with my right hand, but when I came to use my left hand my writing came out looking like the work of a complete imbecile. I can only assume Bic have created a right-handed only pen, and would caution left-handers to "try before you buy".

I ordered this pen and had it imported to America, but it's not formatted for North American paper. Apparently Bic makes its pens in PAL format in Europe and NTSC format in North America. But that's okay, it probably only writes in French anyways and doesn't come subtitled.


Upon receiving my order, I carefully opened the box and dug through the packing peanuts in order to get to the pen contained therein. 'Beautiful!', I thought, and promptly opened up my moleskine notebook to jot down to myself some notes. My previous pen had ran out of ink four weeks prior and I didn't want to splurge on expensive shipping, which meant I had a lot of notes to catch up on writing.

But, when that quality carbide ball touched the surface of the paper, it was not ink that came out. From a distance I heard the screams of men and the cackling of innumerable ravens. I stopped, cold and sweating profusely. I looked down at the Bic Crystal black medium ballpoint pen which I held in my hand, only to see darkness. I dashed it against the wall, recoiling in horror. I saw in the corner of my eye my faithful notebook, which now lay on the ground. Once unmarred, I saw now the small mark which I had made with the devil's own pen. It spread across the page like a plague, and looking at it I gazed upon true horrors. For, what I thought had been ink was in fact a portal to a dark, unforgiving dimension. A portal whose maw was now widening to engulf all hope and joy in the world.

'God, what have I done?' I exclaimed as I weeped and fell to my knees, 'What have I done?'

From beyond the Dark Gate I heard these words, words which I can never forget. A terrible, booming voice said to me, 'Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fthagn!'

I ran, blindly stumbling, away from that place and never looked back. My only hope is that none shall follow in the path I've walked down, too blinded by hubris to realize my follies.

Some of my favourites:

"I walk around the office with it clipped in to my shirt pocket and someone in the accounts department actually asked to borrow it while we were both standing at the photocopier. Would you believe it, they actually tried to walk away with my pen! They were very embarrassed when I called after them as they walked down the corridor and asked for it back. You will be happy to know that it is now back, safe and sound in my top pocket, ready and waiting to start writing again. "


"I ordered one of these pens upon seeing that it gave smooth writing without any indication of what level of education or foreknowledge was required. My dreams were shattered when I learned that this DIDNT TEACH YOU THE ALPHABET, and that users are expected to already know the basics of forming letters, words and sentences  with no assistance given by either Bic or Amazon! I will now have to return to dobbing my faeces on walls to convey meaning until I master this writing.

Also, this item was found in the electronics and photo section. Can anyone tell me how to replace the battery as the ink has stopped flowing from it? "


"I was writing my 4000 page memoirs with this pen and was about finished when I realised It had ran out of ink three years earlier. Beware! "


The other colours and also the different size packs you can get have a whole different set of reviews too

This isn't funny, just ENRAGING! My fucking computer thinks it has a tiny, shitty monitor, and I can't change the resolution and colour:



It's with quite an effort that I'm viewing UK Thrash, as it looks horrendous! Bastard machiiiiiiine!

Hahahaaa.

I'm on a library PC at the moment... I'm dreading returning to that piece of shit this evening!!

You must have done something pretty bad for it to return to Windows 3.1

I've been trying to deal with this piece of shit for the last day. Last I knew it was just a case of updating Windows, coz .NET Framework 2 SP1 wasn't even instaled.

Now it looks like the graphics drivers are screwed up, so I'll get around to sorting that out tonight.

Fuck me mate, you almost got 5 colours there!

Seriously though, that blows. Can't say I envy ya.

Crisis over! I carried on with the windows updates (despite the terrible screen), restarted, and it sorted itself out.

However, it's not totally cleaned up as I still keep getting annoying ad-pop ups and virus alerts
