why not 8gb? they seem to love that number to death...
That's why they have 8,000 particles of dust per square meter for you to breathe.
@blackstar:
you mean: per cubic metre.
Talk about crappy. I swear that thing looks just like a toilet bowl with the seat down. It's even got treads on it so your ass doesn't slip off. It's really ugly looking, but at least it's commemorative of the Beijing Olympics.
Do the chinese make replicas of chinese products? :)
My only pet peeve with these Chinese MP3 players is that they have to put "MP3 Player" on every MP3 player that has an audio output, volume buttons, and seek buttons.
And mp4 on anything that has a decent sized colour screen, and mp5 on anything with divx, and mp6 on anything with ogg, and mp7 on anything with everything...
and my watch listens to mp48's!
and lets not forget the red-ray vs HHDD-DDVVDD war!
+1 internets to who gets the reference first.

shameful capita lism.....
they're friggin' commies man. red's teh clu
Pro tip: You're probably from a capitalist's nation.
this would make my pocket look awkward.
Is that a stadium in your pocket, or...
wow, people will milk the Olympics for all they're worth.
You'd have to hope people aren't all idiots.... But I wouldn't be surprised to see this sell decently well.
hmm, i dont suppose im the only one who looked at that picture and saw one scary a** eyeball looking at me? true, its late, but still, its like HAL got all teh blood drained out of him so it isn't red anymore, but ya.. damn scary..
that ain't an eyeball my friend.....if ya get my drift!!
if you dont get my drift, i mean something infinitely wetter and pleasurabler...
oh!
uh!
I think I got the drift before you completely explained the joke, but it's ok, there wasn't much of a joke for you to ruin anyway.
@zorque
come off it! gime a break - english is my second language bro.
btw change your name from zorque to cork bro....COS YA GOT A PLUG UP YA ARSE!
good USB flash drive ,BUT when it comes with the Olympics-themes it becomes worthless
"And hey, unlike Chinese bird's nest soup, it not only comes in capacities up to 4GB, but doesn't even appear to be assembled with avian saliva."
Huh?
Bird's build their nests with sticks/mud/their own saliva... you're essentially frenching a sparrow when you eat bird's nest soup
Lemme guess... this thing's made in China too?
Cursed trigger-happy apostraphe finger strikes again!!
Just remember, when you eat birds nest soup, you're kissing every bird that nest has ever been with
Aside from the bird spit, those nests have to be littered with baby chick shit and SARS. I guess that still somehow makes for good eatin'.

thats not a funny joke for those suffer from SARS and bird flu.
I like the Bird's Nest stadium design, but this looks more like a portable toilet than the actual stadium, which is befitting of its capabilities.
okay... I dunno which portable toilet you use then. I've never seen portable toilets that big (for people that size, you know).
Ah - bedpan. That was the word I was looking for.
Also referring to the MP3 player in terms portable toilet-ness, not the actual stadium(which has holes and would make a bit of a mess).
Check it out...it's ergonomic
If I ate bird's nest soup during the Olympics, I'll be fined by our government for creating misunderstandings and sabotaging the friendship between the American people and the Chinese people. You know what, those Chinese who commented negatively on foreign political leaders during the opening ceremony were already detained by the government and some will be secretly executed.
"Knock, knock..."
"Open the door! Public security bureau! You are under arrest for violating the internet safety laws!"
"Damn it! Give me freedom of speech!"
- best regards from Shanghai, China
"...and some will be secretly executed."
lolwut
So, no warning in large letters on the box, saying: WARNING! Lark's Vomit!
Who can tell me which company produce it?
Who can tell me which company produce it?
I can't find it in the picture.
u r all fools.
boycott the olyimpics...
like me..
how would you even go about doing that?
It is a bug... The govt can hand these out as a working concealment device to a target of interest and as long as there is a battery charge in the device, they can track the owner...
Oh Dear, Another piece of crappy corporate shmit!
Unless Russia have made one, is this the first communist mp3 player?
men you people having nothing better to do
try do something big LOSER
Does it do karaoke so little Chinese girls can lip sync?
Fuck you, what did you mean by "like so many other devices made in China, we're", don't you use something from China? You mother fucker.
Heh, I can see myself in the audience... juuuust left of the plane-like thingy.
Great souvenir. See if I can spot it in BJ's black market... or in this case... public market.
