They are really breaking the bank with that safety pin, probably make the price super high.
looks like its smiling at me!!!
it definitely looks like cartman with a geordi la forge visor
pretty cool :)
isn't that just the happiest MP3 player you've ever seen?
Is this from the salad dressing guy?
It seems to me the only thing you've learned is that Caesar was a 'salad dressing dude'.
Most righteous, dude!
Before I read the title, I thought this was a story about the new micro-Roomba.
Wait a sec, wouldn't that totally rock to clean your desk?!?! For the geek that has everything... :)
Someone at their design department needs a serious ass-whoopin'.. That thing only has 2 cool things about it
1. OLED display
2. I'll never have to be seen with it
Lol, seriously, this is one of the worst designs out there.. and then there's the name.. Damn, asif they are trying to kill their own company
I've always dreamed that the cheese wheel I pin to my shirt could play music in low quality!
You're supposed to put your logo on it. It's also tiny. Look again at the other image where it sits on a half orange. Must have lots of uses, if you asked me.
With the display facing that way, I can foresee a lot of neck stretching and jacket ripping.
However, once you've changed the song names to insults, you can go around and when someone asks, "What's that? Who's an idiot?", you answer "No, that's the song name: You Are An Idiot".
The sad thing is look around next time you're in a public place.
YES those people are weraing pink and grey stripey t-shirts with Blondie pins and leg warmers. Sadly for those of us that lived through the 80s they are back AGHHHH!
The Chinese are going to love this.
I disagree. This is *definitely* in the so-bad-its-good cetogory. Safety pin, wierd happy-face-eske with shades design, find it in your grocer's freezer color scheme. I want one.
This is a giveaway mp3 player(hopefully) not a consumer high grade MP3 player. So until you're ready to buy 5000 ipod shuffles and give them away think again. Although I do think the safety pin was a bad idea.
Scrolling down through the page, I caught the picture and thought it was a new Roomba design.
That has to be one of the worst photoshop jobs I have ever seen in a real advertisement....
Not everybody needs an iPod, Zune, or Creative type MP3 player.
Some people just need something to hold a about 50 songs for workouts and running.
Outside of working out, i never listen to music with headphones. So something as insignificant at this has it's place.
They should have added a bottle opener on that thing. First thing I thought of when I saw it.
