What is it about that sweet sweet packaging crack called bubble wrap? Fondling those irresistible knobs of
protective breath to an oh so satisfying release is just one of those simple joys that makes life worth the trudge.
Sony apparently knows this only too well, and has taken to exploiting our wanton desires with their PlayStation
bubblewrap marketing campaign in Malaysia. Fortunately, you don't have to go to Asia to
slake your jones.

How unoriginal. I remember popping Citibank's Bubble Wrap billboards in many a train station several moons ago. I refuse to believe that Engadget Editors, living in New York, did not find these Citibank billboards in MTA train stations.
Web definitions for Trudge
is industrial sounding dance-pop. Somewhat interesting on the first listening, then annoying thereafter. Very unusual, distorted and agressive sounding vocals. Apparently some of their other stuff is more ambient.
this must be expensive if sony had to shed 10,000 staff !
My dog likes to chew on bubble wrap and pop the bubbles too. I should get a video of it.
Trudge? Are you mad?
Yes, video your dog, there is never enough funny dog vids.
"slake your jones"? Is that domain available? /me wonders
It stems from the primal urge to pop zits. This is probably caused by some virus that modifies our behaviour.

That bubblewrap flash is the funniest thing I've seen in a while. So simple, yet so ... satisfying.
