Newman ManMan A1 is way too manly for us

Seriously, you just can't find a PMP that's any manlier than this. For starters, the phrase "man" is used three times in the product name (Newman ManMan A1), and secondly, it's fluorescent pink in color. Clearly, Newman is aiming at those with a soft spot in their hearts for the previous generation iPod nano, and the SmartTouch UI even gives users that CoverFlow feel without all the paperwork involved in buying a legitimate device. On the plus side, this thing can handle the more exotic audio formats like OGG and FLAC, and those repulsed by the pink can opt for a blue version when it hits Chinese street vendors later this month.

So ironic.

[Sam of the Sun Posted Jan 15th 2009 3:52PM]

Not I, says Alpha man.

[imayam Posted Jan 15th 2009 8:46PM]

you mean "He-Man"

[greggish Posted Jan 15th 2009 3:50PM]

What do you mean... "legitimate device"?

[holycow Posted Jan 15th 2009 3:51PM]

i think they mean ManOnMan... then the colour seems appropriate.

[ChrisAre Posted Jan 15th 2009 6:42PM]

Because homosexuals LOVE the color pink and all...

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 15th 2009 9:15PM]

Actually, they do. Also, Catholic priests are pedophiles, and furries have sex with each other in animal suits (but only because they can't find any willing animals). No exceptions permitted.

It's called humor, and we will NOT allow it to be impeded by reality.

Goodbye, Newman!

It's also named after steak sauce! And steak is the very essence of manliness!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 15th 2009 3:53PM]

WHAT?!?!!?

[htd Posted Jan 15th 2009 3:54PM]

another example of lost in translation, it should be the 2nd chinese character for newsmy (NIU MAN), which is more girly.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 15th 2009 5:25PM]

is that why their marketing piece says ManManA1?

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 15th 2009 3:56PM]

ManMan you're the man, man!

[Decoy Posted Jan 15th 2009 4:14PM]

Newman, we made your PMP a Manman so you can be a manly man while you man your manman, man.

[Strange Quark Star Posted Jan 15th 2009 6:57PM]

The "man's" thumb's got nail polish on it.

[psychoticdream Posted Jan 15th 2009 7:01PM]

I see what you did there...

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 15th 2009 11:59PM]

Hey, it's a new man. Give it time to get used to its junk before it starts work on the color.

[tonyunreal Posted Jan 16th 2009 3:02AM]

Man is the romanization writing of a chinese word, which means "tender". Usually combined with other adjectives, it can be used to describe how beautiful a woman is. It's nothing wrong to use it in a girly product.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 16th 2009 7:58AM]

It'd be sick if this also came loaded with the Man Man discography.

[astrodemoniac Posted Jan 16th 2009 2:40PM]

Seems more to me that the person designing that is quite obsessed with men o_0
