I think engadget has finally realized we don't need a picture of Veronica Belmont in every single post...It's been like 4 pages since we've last seen her.
The best is when the article would be something like "blah blah new tech thingee from blah blah" or what have you, and it would just be a giant picture of Veronica holding the product and obscuring half of it it with her hand.
sad thing is that as I was looking at this post a co-worker walked behind me and spotted it... she said and i quote "Oh MY GOD! that is so HOT! I WANT ONE!" sigh... is it 5 yet?
You may laugh but in the Asian markets what you call fugly is actually a big seller. The Chinese for example love weird individualism type phones so much that companies like Nokia with there bland western phones are starting to lose market share.
Oh, I'm thinking we need one of these in the office. When someone checks in code that breaks the root, they get to adorn their desk with this until the next guy screws up.

Nice. You don't always get to see a Jodie Foster quote.

Deb @ Jan 10th 2008 5:43PM
Laugh all you want. I work with girls who would, like, totally DIE to have one of these. There is a market out there for foofy electronics.
Joel Smith @ Jan 10th 2008 6:41PM

dataminer49er @ Jan 10th 2008 5:45PM
If I puked on my monitor that is what it would look like.
Citrico @ Jan 10th 2008 5:49PM
So you drink Pepto-Bismol and eat Bedazzlers, do you?
Curtis @ Jan 10th 2008 5:49PM
Either that is the worst attempt at sarcasm I've ever heard or you puke pink.
Anthony @ Jan 10th 2008 6:29PM
You must have some super cute puke.
I don't see the problem. Aren't those stereo speakers? My 22" doesn't have those.

The Chinese, when will they ever figure out proper and tasteful industrial design? It seems everything they design is usually quite tacky.
tsubikiddo @ Jan 10th 2008 5:46PM
well, we gotta consider for the ladies outhere since we are close to the edge of hving the 1st female president ever in hist...
OK @ Jan 10th 2008 5:46PM
Wow, that literally made me shudder. I can't remember that ever happening when seeing a picture of a gadget.
FordGTGuy @ Jan 10th 2008 5:48PM
I bet the director was say
"Should have... hired... a better actor.
kepper @ Jan 10th 2008 5:55PM
like jodie foster in contact, they should throw this thing in a wormhole.

What makes it crappy? Personally I think it's cute.

CreepersCreek @ Jan 10th 2008 11:28PM
So does the warranty run out when the last crappy rhinestone falls off?
Must... not... vomit...
Wwhat @ Jan 11th 2008 10:05AM
Claiming you vomit when you see pink is trying a bit too hard to not let people suspect anything methinks.
Sauerkraut @ Jan 10th 2008 7:09PM
And guess who's going to be scratching their heads when they get zero sales lmao
Mindfield @ Jan 10th 2008 7:09PM
Where's the "Barbie" logo?
kakapo @ Jan 10th 2008 8:36PM
You all realise that this is the "award" that a MaryKay®™© "member" receives if she/he/it/they/almost a particular sex does NOT meet quota.
Boy, is that a huge market!
Which would you rather drive this monitor or a GaudAwful pink car?
js @ Jan 10th 2008 9:28PM
What a perfect match for the Wii.... digging that 480p rez.

knightatdisney @ Jan 11th 2008 8:50AM
There should be a warning in the title...
shoeshine @ Jan 13th 2008 6:45AM
My sister would love this if she still used a desktop.
Lexy @ Jan 13th 2008 8:23PM
Now, I'm a huge fan of both electronics and the colour pink and that monitor is wrong . It looks like a cupcake.
