Digital Cowboy's SOUND Cowboy: keeps your saddle light

So, here we have Digital Cowboy's new SOUND Cowboy audio excrescence. This AM/FM radio with an aptitude for MP3 and WMA PlaysForSure playback features 256MB of on-board memory, SD expansion, and a "drip-proof" sheath of boxy plastic to keep your Hank dry for up to 10-hours off battery. The perfect companion to that eucalyptus bath you've been hankerin' fer after a hard day's ride eh Buckaroo Panzai? So go ahead, pick 'er up (if you can) when it drops in June for an expected ¥9,980 or about $87.

A small capacitor wouldn't be able to do that much damage.
Either they hit the battery or it's "pretendy-time" with a torch or lighter.

Do cowboys even carry mp3 players?! I thought they needed to be alert and stuff like if a wolf is coming to eat their flock of sheep or something.

I'm confused as to what this is.

Sorry folks, wrong comment on the wrong story.
My mistake.

Yuppicide, I think those who guard sheep are called shepards and do need to be alert in keeping their flock safe from predators. Cowboys of course guard cows which don't have any wild animal type predators. Therefore cowboys don't need to be very alert and often require portable, water resistant, am/fm capable, memory expandable, mp3 playing devices.
