Samsung's YEPP T9: pink, for someone special
Here's another V-day gadgety-gift idea for that special effeminate friend or iPod-less dictator with a taste for big red balls -- the Samsung Yepp T9, now in pink. That rose-colored bladder comes filled with Kenzo perfume which, presumably, is applied by hurling it at your mate like a water balloon... but that's us, and we date robots. This 2GB model comes blue in the tooth and festooned with plenty of doilies to show just how much of a sap you really are. Hitting South Korea on February 5th for 215,000KRW (about $228) just in time for their favorite Hallmark holiday -- who knew?























From this point on I shall use the term 'festooned' for all Valentines Day related fluffery.
It looks more like a home pregnancy test than a PMP. Then again, I think the pink Nintendo DS looks more like a birth control container...
a digital bar of soap.
I don't appreciate how Thomas Ricker, you idiot, associate a malicious North Korean dictator on a South Korean mp3 player.
engadet... you tards. associating kim jong II with south korea is like saying someone in new york would get a valentines gift for someone in new jersey.
two fuckin different wordls.
Simmer down unknown and boynamedsue,
South Korea sending some love up North to KJI since he can't get an iPod IS the joke. Get it? Clearly not. It helps if you're familiar with our content or at least read the links in the piece before bustin' out the flames. K, thanks.
Thomas
I love how the asian posters on engadget get so offended at any and all topics that involve asia.
You should see how they talk about americans (and europeans) in their countries!
i love how you're assuming they're asians just cuz they 'got offended'
dudes, just chill. it's already such a chore to be all serious during work/studying/wotever crap... this is a gadget site, not a political one.
go grab urselves a few packs of sense of humour. it's for free, and it sure feels great to have some. being such anal bitches doesn't get u anywhere in the path to happiness...
i just wanted to rag on new jersey.
이딴거 봐도 읽을 수나 있을지 모르겠지만
난 한국인입니다.
참 불괘하군요. 전에도 바왔지만... 여기에 한국어 섹션이 없다고 완전히 한국인들 무시하는거 아닙니까?
남한과 북한은 처음에 같은 나라였습니다.
그것가지고 겨우겨우 남한도 도와줄 수 없는 입장에서 도와주는 것입니다. 그런데 그걸 가지고 비하하고...
원래 사진은 AVIGN.NET/KR에서 가지고 온거 같은데 맘대로 Modified하면서... 만약 포스팅한 사람이 남한이든 북한이든 있었다면 당장에 쳐들어 갈 수도 있습니다. 포스팅 수정해주세요.
^ I am Korean too, and I am very offended by this news post. Engdaget, you have done unethical things in the past too, and I hope you understand this. Please take this picture down.
I don't know what this post's goal is but I think this another wrong move by you guys. If you are making fun of the way the South gives food and money support to the North, you should understand that North and South Korea was once the same country and that is the least we could do. Although we live in completely different Worlds, we still have the same past and history.
well. I'm a S. Korean too and I knew it was a joke and all. I didn't think it was that offensive. But then again, I never take anything seriously. However, I do think that pictures gotta go.
A while back some asian company had poster showing some guy holding up a MP3 player with the twin towers behind. We made all kinds of fuss with it. This one sort of goes with it for us Koreans.
Guys, who really cares? I am Korean too but I understand that the intent was to insert a joke into a rather boring post (about as boring as the new colours for the ipod shuffle). That's what engadget does all the time. They try to make jokes and lots of times they fail, but it wasn't meant to offend. So lighten up.
Hilarious. I had to do a double take when I scrolled past and saw the Team America Kim.
Its that kind of off-kilter humour that makes it so much fun to read Engadget
