Shoot Down Your Wedding -- Not Your Wife
FEBRUARY 5, 2008
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Wireless Flash) -- A bitter bachelor is giving guys a final "shot" at avoiding marital madness.![]()
silverbulletdivorce.com Bitter bachelor Allen Brack claims guys who wear one of his silver bullet necklaces send a message to females that they're not interested in marriage.
Allan Brack is the creator of the "Silver Bullet" necklace, a necklace featuring a silver-plated, .38-caliber bullet pendant to urge guys that they'd be better off putting a bullet to their head than heading down the aisle.
Brack is so gun-shy about getting married that he is selling necklaces featuring a silver-plated bullet to remind guys considering marriage that they'd be better off putting a gun to their head.
He says he was inspired to create the necklace after a friend of his walked down the aisle for the fourth time.
"I told him he needed to find a better way to spend his weekends besides getting married," he said.
Brack says the Silver Bullet not only reminds guys not to get serious with any woman, but claims it sends a message to women looking to get hitched: "Stay away."
Since 2005, Brack has sold more than 1,000 of the necklaces for $29 a pop, but he insists his mission isn't monetary.
"We're on a mission to protect guys who get sucked into the matrimonial gig much to their chagrin and economic misfortune," he said. "We don't encourage men to shoot their wives or ex-wives, we want them to put themselves out of their own misery."
But it's not just gun-shy guys or miserable men biting the bullet and buying the necklaces.
"Half our customers are females buying for their exes," he said. "They tell them, `You were so miserable, please don't put one of my fellow females through that again!'"
