Acer's custom Aspire One netbook: Heinous, exemplified

If the Acer Aspire One netbook above makes you feel uncomfortable, even angry, then you're probably not a Japanese school-girl. Hell, even if you are we hope you have the good sense not to paste stuffed animals, taffeta, and frills to your Atom-based netbook. That's what UMPCs are for.

No, it is "you're a douche."

Insult people properly.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 4:15AM]

@Bo: Because his goal in life is to be the first douche. Mission succeeded, I'd say.

Horrendous !!!!!!!

[karts41 Posted Mar 25th 2009 4:49AM]

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 3:27AM]

This reminds me of this time I was driving out of a parking structure. I see this car coming towards me and it's this Asian girl driving who has literally hundreds of stuffed animals all over the dash of her car.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 8:19AM]

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 9:42AM]

Pedobear?

[gadgetfanboy Posted Mar 25th 2009 11:16AM]

Nah, if it was there'd be over 9000 of them on there.

[The WC Posted Mar 25th 2009 3:31AM]

It's...pink.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 3:37AM]

Well, I don't think that the fact, that it's pink and not purple is the big probleme here.... LOOK AT THE BEARS, MAN, LOOK AT THE BEARS!

[Generic Posted Mar 25th 2009 3:35AM]

On the bright side, you don't need to protect it if it falls on the lid. Make sure you don't drop it otherwise. I bet the sticker says "preferably dropped on lid while closed".

[mocax Posted Mar 25th 2009 3:44AM]

i believe the weight distribution will ensure it always land with the lid side up.....

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 3:40AM]

What the fuck?

[LostNote Posted Mar 25th 2009 3:43AM]

Oh my. Someone call Hello Kitty. She wants her faeces back.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 5:23PM]

faeces = feces ?

[pika2000 Posted Mar 25th 2009 3:43AM]

What? No Hello Kitty? Fail! :P

[unibomber51 Posted Mar 25th 2009 4:11AM]

I guess it will make a pretty good pillow

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 4:19AM]

When I stick a piece of ugly cloth upon my Laptop, does that impress you?
Will it get me on engadget? Even on TV?
Not on a day with real news, I guess...

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 4:31AM]

Try fitting that into a netbook case.

If you click the read link this is part of a netbook fashion design thing.

Thought I find these to have a little more class, and style.

[superhobo Posted Mar 25th 2009 6:35AM]

Killllll.....iiiit.....

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 7:19AM]

Meh... it's no more unattractive than those cases with colorful graphics or vulgar lighting all over the place... I mean, if someone wants to decorate their new laptop with a get well bouquet, what's so wrong with that. OK, it was me... who stole my laptop and pasted it on the web? ?? ;)

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 9:45AM]

My netbook is covered with used condoms, way more provocative.
