Bag TV debuts multimedia mistake

Hey guys: if you're dating the kind of girl who covets a seriously hideous $700 bag with a useless LCD, you should probably call it off.

What Bag TV?

"...you should probably call it off..."

@Laura June

Bravo, Laura! You've sent the right message! I am proud of women like you! ;)

[TheMike Posted Dec 22nd 2008 5:10PM]

Ha! Screw the stupid bag it's a crap idea.

Now those girls on the other hand...

[joe23521 Posted Dec 22nd 2008 5:24PM]

Wait, you're picking the BAG to be the one to screw?

[patboy2008 Posted Dec 22nd 2008 5:10PM]

Well at least when someone steals your bag they will be entertained.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 22nd 2008 5:44PM]

Only a fool will even consider stealing this bag!

[MagLi Posted Dec 22nd 2008 5:16PM]

This is worst than the speaker-bag that came before. At least you can actually hear the speakers, but who the hell is going to look at that screen? A mirror might be more practical...

However, if the bag has wi-fi and is capable of streaming live advertisements, I can see it as a "walking bill board" type of thing. Then again, whoever carrying one should get paid. Women's handbags are valuable advertising space!

[joe23521 Posted Dec 22nd 2008 5:27PM]

I would argue that the front of her shirt or the back of her jeans would be more valuable as advertising spaces. :)

[CapnShiner Posted Dec 22nd 2008 5:47PM]

I was actually thinking the same thing! I think flexible displays would work much better, though.

If you think about it, many women's handbags are already being used as advertising space in the same way as clothing items like t-shirts and jackets. They advertise the label/company who made it. The major difference in this concept is that the ad space can be used for any product or service, not just the designer's logo. Ad-subsidized designer handbags? Potential for women to earn money while shopping? I think it could take off if they can keep the price and weight down.

I just hope it never does take off because it would be SO obnoxious. (moreso than this comment)

@joe23521:
I completely agree, but it would suck for everyone to put a standard, rigid LCD there. A flexible display could work but my favorite would be a flexible, transparent one like this: http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/usc-develops-flexible-transparent-tft-prototype-for-high-tech-t/

It's better than a $700 bag that doesn't have a TV. You cold watch it while she's shoe shopping or craft shopping.

[Verythrax Posted Dec 22nd 2008 5:26PM]

Hey! I think it's hot!


... what's she holding, anyway?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 22nd 2008 7:18PM]

i see what you did there

[TacticalTimbo Posted Dec 22nd 2008 5:28PM]

not if she's that ridiculously hot, i'd let the bag go!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 22nd 2008 5:29PM]

Gives new meaning to Douche Bag.

[Sepirioth Posted Dec 22nd 2008 5:38PM]

Tragic.

[TIMMAH Posted Dec 22nd 2008 5:41PM]

MTV's new series "Pimp My Purse"?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 22nd 2008 5:49PM]

Give me $700 and I'll Get Two Zunes (Zune 120 and Zune 16), then with the rest of the money, I'll manage to get myself a ZunePhone...that Microsoft is trying to hide.

[TabajaraLabs Posted Dec 22nd 2008 6:25PM]

I want to marry this girl. Badly.

:o)

[Arkenklo Posted Dec 29th 2008 2:23AM]

You REALLY need to get out.

[WilburWC Posted Dec 22nd 2008 6:31PM]

Ummm hello...

You are all missing the upside... It's a girlfriend with a built in TV... How many times are you stuck out somewhere bored out of your mind waiting on her... maybe even having to watch her purse... Now at least you have something to watch...

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 22nd 2008 6:49PM]

Hey guys: if you're getting dating tips from a gadget blog, you should probably suicide.

[Laura June Posted Dec 22nd 2008 6:59PM]

Ha!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 22nd 2008 6:38PM]

MAN!!! Forget watching the TV, I'D WATCH THAT ASS ALL DAY!!! This girl has some mean thighs!!! And it's not photo shopped, she DOES have a BIG, NICE, CURVY PHAT ASS. Those European girls are not like the white girls here, they have curves and aren't flat like the white girls here in the US, well at least some.

[nastro Posted Dec 22nd 2008 6:48PM]

She gots the fatty going on.....damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 22nd 2008 7:17PM]

i take it you date skeletons?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 22nd 2008 7:32PM]

at least this mistake prevents any further mistakes.

no ones gonna score with a bag like that!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 22nd 2008 8:11PM]

Hey baby where did you get that gadget? How about you come up with me to my place and help me erect my dipole?

[Zizou Posted Dec 22nd 2008 8:20PM]

Teletubbies!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 22nd 2008 9:49PM]

that bag shows to others as if we have no chance to update news.
maybe i will take a look at this bag when i actually forgot my cellphone, my pda, my netbook, and my blackberry..

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 22nd 2008 10:27PM]

I'd tap that. Badonkadonk!

[nastro Posted Dec 22nd 2008 11:35PM]

So ladies (yeah), Ladies (yeah)
Do you wanna roll in my Mercedes (yeah)
Then turn around
Stick it out
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 23rd 2008 12:26AM]

My god, who would have thought that one picture of a woman would reduce all the gadget site viewers to such animals.

[Groggle Posted Dec 23rd 2008 7:31AM]

ya gotta picture some clueless fool giving this to his wife for Christmas...

[Galley Posted Dec 23rd 2008 8:08AM]

What's with the ghostly aura?

[James2432 Posted Dec 23rd 2008 8:28AM]

Screw the purse, i'd tap that

[BratPAQ Posted Dec 23rd 2008 9:05AM]

would have make sense if its an electronic picture frame, pop-in an sd card and the screen will slideshow whatever pictures you have on the card.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 23rd 2008 11:16AM]

Get the girl -> ditch the bag -> sell her to a japanese investor -> buy prada bag

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 23rd 2008 6:42PM]

If the chick comes with it, I'll take two.

[towergrove Posted Jan 6th 2009 6:44AM]

I wonder if they make Old Bag TV?
