Beijing National Stadium no longer just a stadium, now also a crappy MP3 player

Like so many other devices made in China, we're convinced this Bird's Nest Stadium, um, "inspired" device is totally, completely authorized and legit. 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. Difficulty: 1.2, execution: 3.55.

[lowdef @ Aug 11th 2008 12:24AM]

why not 8gb? they seem to love that number to death...

[Blackstar @ Aug 11th 2008 2:36AM]

That's why they have 8,000 particles of dust per square meter for you to breathe.

[steve @ Aug 11th 2008 5:08AM]

@blackstar:

you mean: per cubic metre.

[Steffen Jobbs @ Aug 11th 2008 9:01AM]

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.

[OneLove @ Aug 11th 2008 10:20AM]

Do the chinese make replicas of chinese products? :)

[David @ Aug 11th 2008 12:32AM]

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.

[Mobius_1 @ Aug 11th 2008 12:35AM]

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...

[rkls @ Aug 11th 2008 12:57AM]

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.

[Taylor @ Aug 11th 2008 3:54AM]

Pro tip: You're probably from a capitalist's nation.

[scott @ Aug 11th 2008 12:52AM]

this would make my pocket look awkward.

[Shadyman @ Aug 11th 2008 1:56AM]

Is that a stadium in your pocket, or...

[Phoenix987 @ Aug 11th 2008 12:56AM]

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.

[tanjim @ Aug 11th 2008 12:57AM]

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..

[chrit wong @ Aug 11th 2008 7:42AM]

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!

[Zorque @ Aug 11th 2008 3:53AM]

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.

[cradle @ Aug 13th 2008 8:42AM]

@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!

[merrykid @ Aug 11th 2008 1:03AM]

good USB flash drive ,BUT when it comes with the Olympics-themes it becomes worthless

[demenzia @ Aug 11th 2008 1:12AM]

"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?

[Nytrojen @ Aug 11th 2008 2:14AM]

Bird's build their nests with sticks/mud/their own saliva... you're essentially frenching a sparrow when you eat bird's nest soup

[Nytrojen @ Aug 11th 2008 2:16AM]

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

[The Dude @ Aug 11th 2008 2:55AM]

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'.

[yui @ Aug 11th 2008 7:16AM]

to:The Dude @ Aug 11th 2008 2:55AM
thats not a funny joke for those suffer from SARS and bird flu.

[epobirs @ Aug 11th 2008 3:26AM]

So, no warning in large letters on the box, saying: WARNING! Lark's Vomit!

[chef @ Aug 11th 2008 4:29AM]

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.

[Pb @ Aug 11th 2008 5:12AM]

okay... I dunno which portable toilet you use then. I've never seen portable toilets that big (for people that size, you know).

[chef @ Aug 11th 2008 6:02AM]

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).

[Nano2e @ Aug 11th 2008 8:45AM]

Check it out...it's ergonomic

[GDL @ Aug 11th 2008 9:24AM]

Who can tell me which company produce it?

[GDL @ Aug 11th 2008 9:30AM]

Who can tell me which company produce it?
I can't find it in the picture.

[roberto luongo @ Aug 11th 2008 9:54AM]

u r all fools.

boycott the olyimpics...

like me..

[andres @ Aug 11th 2008 6:42PM]

how would you even go about doing that?

[n74jw @ Aug 11th 2008 10:05AM]

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...

[Tom W @ Aug 11th 2008 1:31PM]

Oh Dear, Another piece of crappy corporate shmit!

[David @ Aug 11th 2008 1:31PM]

Lemme guess... this thing's made in China too?

[Mav @ Aug 11th 2008 8:46PM]

Unless Russia have made one, is this the first communist mp3 player?

[CraigJ @ Aug 12th 2008 1:13PM]

Does it do karaoke so little Chinese girls can lip sync?

[David @ Aug 12th 2008 3:09PM]

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.

[PenaltyKillah @ Aug 13th 2008 11:36PM]

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.

[gwailoting @ Aug 14th 2008 12:22PM]

men you people having nothing better to do
try do something big LOSER

[gwailoting @ Aug 14th 2008 12:29PM]

all you dump suckers what do you all have in comment
no BRAIN that is all Y D S has try to top china or bad mouth china you dump sucker s are not there yet

[Brian @ Aug 14th 2008 3:32PM]

Wow, you people seriously have no life. Let's go see you organize an Olympic opening ceremony.

[El Ferna @ Aug 14th 2008 7:28PM]

Where can I buy it?

[spacey @ Aug 24th 2008 9:48PM]

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!"
