Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Stop displaying the speaker and let me see the actual unit.
ummm... you see that thing she's pointing at? That's the unit. Looks pretty cool, wonder how much it costs?
Wow, odd... What's the device on top of the subwoofer then, and what's the point of surrounding the subwoofer with five of these units if it's not just to confuse people like me?
that's the center channel on top of the subwoofer.
the unit is in my pants. actually, the unit would seemingly have to be the device with the display and buttons on it. and it's own stand - who the fuck would put a center channel on it's own stand?!
"Looks pretty good, I wonder how much it costs."
My thoughts exactly, but what about the LG product?
OMG!! She is Beautiful!
I can honestly say I haven't got a clue what this thing is, and I don't care. Me wants the chick.
Agreed. To bad there aren't any upskirt shots.
haha there is such a thing as taking it too far
Is the device included in the price of the woman? hehehehe
CHOCOLATE RAINNNNNNNN!!!!
How come every article than has am image of an asian female gets nothing but these types pf comments... you guys need to get out more.
They want you to say those comments when you look at their product, that's why the chick is there!
Having lived in an Asian country, they're not ashamed to throw in a hot chick to make guys look at it more - they want you to want the product by wanting the girl.
It's Western culture that makes it taboo to want those things. However, in Western cultures it's ruder to say things like that than in asian countries.
Yes, while every post with beautiful Asian women get the e-catcalls, every such post also has several responses from Asian males in line with what you said, or something like "She is just average...", so it all balances out.
Why are you against balance? :p
Not all true thenickboy
We do that in Europe too.. carshows, weapon shows... for god's sake even selling cheese in the market
I am not talking about using sex appeal to sell a product, this is an experience unique to asian females and online communities. If there is an asian female in the picture, whether she is attractive or not, you will get these comments. Its as if the online community thinks that being asian automatically makes a woman attractive. I can see having a preference, we all do, but this is borderline fetish with some of thee guys. Some of them need to get laid and realize that asian women are not some magical bastion of sexual prowess that makes them all automatically hot. They are women, who happen to be asian. It's almost racist in a way. or something.
It's like when a black man see's a beautiful white blonde woman, some people want different things.
Wow, that's not even close to the same thing, as well as being a false stereotype. I don't see every black man going gaga over every white women. I see bloggers get horny at the sight of ANY asian woman, "beautiful" or not (and I am not saying the woman in the above picture is not attractive, but I honestly don't think the comments would have been any different if she wasn't.
Thank you very much for that. LOL
- from an Asian woman who has been stalked by a lot of Americans (seriously!)
that girl is more attractive than the product.
that lady stands out compared to all the other women advertising asian products ive seen so far.
That's one good looking woman, that's for sure.
UMMM Q.. Where does the main unit go? 2 sats in the rear 2 sats in the front.. So where does the DVD player go?
reading the comments, engadget taste in women blows.
Psh I would never buy that, but maybe... MINT, VANILLA, AND EVERY FLAVOR IN BETWEEN!!!
Pretty cool, but it seems to me that using the stands ruins any advantage afforded by the sheer thinness of the system -- I would try to find a way to surface mount them, if the design allowed that, and without adversely affecting the acoustical quality.
The model is outstanding, too. I'd hit that.
Yeh, you guys are always saying that the model's not so hot. Well, the company or ad firm probably picked those models because they looked better than average. She darn sure looks sweet to me. Even if I get out more, I'm not going to see many women that look like her. I live in a neighborhood with almost no Asian women and too many overweight fuglies.
I think she's pointing at the speaker's G-spot or is that just my wishful thinking.
She's cute.
like to hear what the baby sounds like
WOW!! That new Chocolate Phone is gonna be a bitch to carry around! Take that iPhone fanboys!! DVD player and a thousand watts!!!
shes so hot
kuzu-b,
Did you even look at the girl in the picture? Whether or not some guys go gaga over every Asian spokesmodel, this was an odd place to gripe about indiscriminate lust for Asian women. That particular model is smoking hot by any standard.
That woman must be like 38 or something. Says a guy with an asian mother.
I'll buy that huge ass phone for 100,000 if she comes in the box. Or if i can come in her box. oops. I didn't intend for that. :\ omg, I want to have children with her.
k-chix ftw!
on topic, interesting new product by LG but... really i'm getting sick of the chocolate design style now, i dunno about you guys
mmm creamy thigh..i mean speaker. Hot aZn MoDeLz. I blame Vista!
i love plastic surgery
