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.

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.

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? :)
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 lets not forget the red-ray vs HHDD-DDVVDD war!
+1 internets to who gets the reference first.

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

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.

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?

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.

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!"
