Keepin' it real fake, part XCVII: Nabaztag's sad little knock-off
You know the Nabaztag -- the lovable, WiFi-sporting, olfactory-equipped plastic rabbit which wormed its way into our hearts. Sure, everyone wants to nestle up to the little critter's twinkling LEDs and soothing expression, but what about Nabaztag's pitiful, cheap, single-function cousin, the Rabbit Sensor Night Light? That's right -- not a lot of love for this one-trick-pony, a simple night light which won't play back your favorite podcasts, recognize the scent of a carrot, read you a book, or act as your Cha'Dich during your trial on Qo'noS concerning the attack at Khitomer... but it will glow softly through its pink plastic casing. Look, it automatically turns on when it detects movement, and it's dirt cheap ($12.99) -- isn't that enough?

It's pink and has two numbs...what do you want someone to comment?
It wasn't just meant for this, it was a general observation about all of the posts...
Double dildo. What else?
that is the weirdest thing i have ever seen
hey
Definitely not cheap enough.
i want one please
Wow. Haha.
And thats all I have to say.
This doesn't even look like what its knocking off....
exactly!
I find this rip off more useful than the other cuttie.
aww bunny ^__^
Well... Nabaztag/tag isn't even that great right now. Sure, it does do the weather and the air quality and the stock report and the time features... News works pretty well, even though some sites can be repetitive. RFID technology has been promised for months and there's still no sign of it working. The microphone can't be used for anything other than voice commands. A small group of people, including myself, know how to send voice messages to your ear companion, but to my knowledge, that's the only way to send them right now. The my.nabaztag.com site, which users use to sign in, has been incredibly buggy over the past few months, due to a server overhaul. It has taken them MONTHS to get things right, and even now, I still experience problems with the website, ESPECIALLY with the Twitter updates and the email alerts. The Twitter and GMail services were introduced a few months ago; GMail works well, but I have NEVER gotten Twitter to work. As a "full style rabbit", I've gotten pretty angry with all of this stuff. I can only imagine what it will be like at Christmas; last Christmas, the whole thing crashed due to all the new rabbits being added. So perhaps, this little night light would have less problems.
cool contest

Crap -- I get the same title for realizing where it's from.
