Dude, they are way heavier than the ghetto and not as poppy, the bling is like the old sprayer models, cheaper and really not as good, i saw a big difference, not saying its a bad ski, but compared to the ghetto its really not that great

Easy for you to say but the ghettos are twice the price of the blings here.

I skied them a few weeks ago.  They are fatter and a bit heavier than the ghetto.  I have never skied on the ghetto, but the bling was surprisingly fun, but maybe that is just because i am skiing on a park ski with no more edge to it.  The bling also has thinner edges than the ghetto.  It seems like a good ski if you want to kind of do everything but mostly park, like 70% park 30% everything else and you can only have one ski and you don't have alot of money.

and also isn't their price similar, and also, wasn't the scratch bling removed from the rossignol website at the same time that the scream in was put up?
