Cellphone, USB drive gets modeled with meat

We deeply apologize to all the vegetarians in the crowd, but this was just too grotesque to overlook. We're not exactly sure of the whos, whats, whys, and whens behind all this, but apparently some butcher-to-be found enough spare time (and enough fresh meat) to create a wallet, a set of keys, a 3G-capable cellphone and a 4TB flash drive from raw, tender meat. We don't know what's sadder -- the fact that this isn't the first of its kind, or that there ever was a first of its kind.

I guess the Pearl(?) makes a better looking meat cell phone than the iPhone. All it would be is a couple of slices of ham stacked on top of each other.

[captain obvious @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:22AM]

I'm fairly certain it's a Sony Ericsson K850.

[captain obvious @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:26AM]

Ugh, sorry for the dp. I actually mean the k810. I got a little ahead of myself there.

It's a freakin' meat phone. Does it matter?

[bstear @ Oct 2nd 2008 2:55PM]

Slap a PETA logo on it and I'll buy it! Does it come with an unlimited bacteria plan?

[Bryan @ Oct 2nd 2008 4:27AM]

3G has never been so tasty as it is now.

[Shea @ Oct 2nd 2008 4:34AM]

or... the fact that engadget actually posted an article about this?

[Chris Macdonald @ Oct 2nd 2008 9:08PM]

"whats sadder, the fact that this has happened before, of the fact that this has happened before?"

[Arran @ Oct 2nd 2008 4:33AM]

"nah don't chuck it out, just make everyday items out of it."

"What?"

"You know, model the meat to look like a wallet or some keys or some shit."

"What?"

*Drugs definitely played a part in this idea.

[gad get @ Oct 2nd 2008 7:37AM]

Wait, what was that last idea? Mold it to look like excrement?

[Kai @ Oct 2nd 2008 4:45AM]

"3G-capable cellphone"... "4TB flash drive"... ha ha ha...

[GaryZ @ Oct 2nd 2008 4:50AM]

sorry...boss...I think I just ate that 10k lines of code I wrote last night...

[VeganTnT @ Oct 2nd 2008 4:55AM]

Does anyone else see the irony in that the 1st is National Vegetarian Day?

Looks like someone was having withdrawals ;)

[Canto @ Oct 2nd 2008 4:55AM]

Some lines should NOT be crossed! :P

[dervheid @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:07AM]

MMMMMMMM!
Tasty!

[Echo1 @ Oct 2nd 2008 1:20PM]

IT'S BACON!!!!!!

[jo_82 @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:07AM]

Mmmmh, Yummy. Where can i buy one of these?

[nicholaelaw @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:07AM]

I don't know about you, but I'm gonna eat these things whenever I see one.

[GoCarnivore @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:09AM]

GoVegan is gonna be pissed.

[Muhammad-Oli @ Oct 2nd 2008 8:00AM]

Haha, love the name.

[NoAndThen @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:36PM]

um, fuck em?

I really hate people 'apologizing' to veggies/vegans. It's their choice, they can deal.

I don't annoy you and protest your tofu veggie wrap, even though I think it's awful.

How about someone apologizes for annoying carnivores with your apologetical waste of text?

[Muhammad-Oli @ Oct 2nd 2008 8:15PM]

@NoAndThen: He was referring to a member here named GoVegan who is known for being very anti anything to do with meat. I see no reason at all why you would go so psycho at him anyway.

[linuxamp @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:11AM]

Price? Release date? C'mon Engadget don't keep us in suspense!

[ssbsts @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:20AM]

Gives whole new meaning to the term "meat wallet"

[j3lunt @ Oct 2nd 2008 9:40PM]

YES YES... meat wallet FTW!

[Matthew Forrest @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:25AM]

Disgraceful behavior from a backward thinking culture obsessed with the industrial uses of animals. In 50 years people will look back and bow their heads in shame at this sort of f’king lunacy.

[GoCarnivore @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:39AM]

Actually, no, we're not. We're going to look back and laugh at vegetarians who died out due to lack of proper nutrition, as we consume the flesh of our avian, bovine, porcine and other 4-legged enemies. Most vegetarians grew up eating meat consistently, and that's why they were healthy, until later on down the road when they decided to convert to Retardism and worship the earth, and only eat vegetables... TO SAVE THE PLANET.

[Xenoterranos @ Oct 2nd 2008 8:33AM]

What the... Name ONE avian with four legs! I MUST consume this creature.
(And googling for 4 legged chicken doesn't count)

[ChuChu @ Oct 2nd 2008 8:42AM]

The main flaw with your "vegetarians taking over the world" plan is that vegetarians and vegans are frail and weak and will ultimately lose in any physical confrontation with flesh eaters. Think of it as Darwin's plan to remove vegetarians from the species.

[GoVegan @ Oct 2nd 2008 9:05AM]

@ChuChu who wrote "vegans are frail and weak".
Sorry dude but you really should think before you speak, because your statement sounds much like what comes out of my backside 2-3 times a day.

You have obviously never heard of the following vegans:

Carl Lewis (Olympic athlete) who admits that it was being a vegan that helped him become the fastest runner in the world.

Or Mac Danzig, Ultimate Fighter champion, who is also an ethical vegan.

Keith Holmes former World Middleweight boxing champion.

or bodybuilder Kenneth Williams.

I'm not exactly small or weak either ;)

Just because of you I'm inspired to spark up my grill this weekend and make some ribs...

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! =P

"vegetarians who died out due to lack of proper nutrition"

is your doctor also your butcher?

[Hellaphunt @ Oct 2nd 2008 11:59AM]

Please don't be close-minded or afraid to do some research:

If you're just fine with any of the methods being implemented above then... whatever.

[Marlon @ Oct 2nd 2008 9:00PM]

I've always wondered why Vegans and other anti-meat consumers and organizations fail to acknowledge that animals eat other animals, and they way they kill their prey is often grotesque and looks to be extremely painful too.

Since we're essentially animals ourselves, why is it wrong for humans to consume meat? Especially when I have canine teeth and one stomach with one compartment unlike a cow that has 4 compartments?

[iPwn @ Oct 2nd 2008 2:17PM]

@Hellaphunt:

I think that's the problem, people don't do their research and see that the meat industry is more cruel than anything they can imagine. And they don't realize that it's bad for the inviroment. (It takes massive amounts of food and water to keep all those animals)

Sometimes I fantasize about invading slaughterhouses with an uzi and killing all those nazis.

[Andrew @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:39PM]

@iPwn

I always take advice about the inviornment from people who are as smart as you...

I obviously just don't know how it affects my invirornment...

By the way is invironment like my internal organs?

It is not the meat industry that is bad for the ENVIORNMENT, it is the consumption rates in the United States that affects it.

Besides odds are this was some meat that had gone bad/could no longer be sold and the guy was like, better not WASTE the meat, we should put it to use.
And please people, the meat industry is huge, don't take like 5 examples and say this is how all meat packing plants are run!! much less try to force your beliefs on me

[Hellaphunt @ Oct 2nd 2008 6:28PM]

@Andrew

I like how the majority of your argument was to point out and ridicule his improper grammar while having very little to say about his perpective. Just because I only posted so many links, it doesn't mean that's the percentage of cruelty going on in the industry (sampling?), but whatever helps you sleep at night. The demand for all this food is no excuse for the in-house assualts, tortures, hazing, doping, maming, laming, that goes on.

Call me a pussy for giving a crap, I don't care. Just kills me how ignorant people are.

[ScooterDe @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:26AM]

I'm a firm vegetarian, but a 4TB flash drive? Maybe - just maybe - I could swallow that.

[Patriks7 @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:38AM]

Thats what she said...

[highjumpman @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:46AM]

"Is that a four terabyte meatdrive in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

[LordFarkward @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:52AM]

highjumpman, basing on the stiffness of that ham, I don't think the girl would have thought you're being "happy"... unless... are you having a problem? O.O

[Freakin Ijit @ Oct 2nd 2008 6:07AM]

I have no problem eating a crop that can look back at me (I'm still scratching my head about some attempts to classify said crop using a human standard...how strange!), but I don't think I'd ever call processed baloney "fresh meat".

[Josh @ Oct 2nd 2008 7:08AM]

3G? 4TB?!

I'll take 50 lbs.

[r3n @ Oct 2nd 2008 7:15AM]

People, people, people...have you forgotten that this might be...oh to heck with it...

Will it blend?

[Hellaphunt @ Oct 2nd 2008 11:47AM]

STFU... it's old.

[Peter @ Oct 2nd 2008 7:37AM]

"They're made out of meat."

[gad get @ Oct 2nd 2008 7:50AM]

I know, eh? A unique, living thing, with a personality and a family.... THAT'S DISGUSTING! Ugh!

Well, at least it's dead now. Not so disgusting now! Quite delicious, actually, with the right preparation....
