A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Now if only he had a $100 pair of sandals to go with that.
Flame-on or euro trash, it's one or the other.
I actually carry a man-purse and I love it. It just depends on what you keep in it. I just found it so unneccessary to carry a whole friggin sidebag for a book and a bottle of water. I have a gravis sidearm though, which is much nicer than this stupid thing.

Engadget may not be the best place to come out of the closet...
I use a man-bag from sfbags.com. I love their bags. I also use one from Tumi from time to time. Let's just say they look much better than the bag in this photo. Gays care about style. Therefore, this man is not gay.
I see a wedding band - So he must be one of the lucky Pre-Prop 8!!!!
I guess Glenn Beck's brother is really struggling to find his place.

does it come with a holster model for my gun too?
I just sent this to my wife subject line "not a father's day gift"
I realize I've probably gotten some dumb gifts for mother's day but ... this was not going to come into our home :)
Can you say iPhag?
Idiot.
Can you say iBigot?
Does a set of balls come with this as well?
Shouldn't this article read, "If you're willing to toss dignity to the wind..." or, "If you're willing to toss your pride to the wind..."?
One does not throw humility to the wind when they don this piece of equipment.
It's not a purse...it's a messenger bag!
I do have a Tom Bihn cafe bag, I must admit.
Somebody's going to get shot reaching for their phone, but anyone actually wearing this....
OK - if they had something that looked male for their demo pix, it might be something to review. This is one of those images you don't want to remember - please, someone pass acid to my eyes... no eyedroppers, pure gallons-galore...
Next time you see this - I bet the gag-purse is on the same dude in a speedo (EWE!)...
Even guy-gear looks better on a barbie - don't they realize that???
or a crotchless/assless wrestling singlet LOL
Black people....
don't buy this... you know why...
I wonder if he is a top or a bottom.
He's VERSATILE....
I hate this picture.
And his modeling career is over...... Its all lycra banana slings from here on out

They should really consider models under the age of 45. The whole "I diddle 14 yr olds" doesn't increase the marketability of this product.
@ Adam
"I'm a man and I'm man enough to carry a "man-purse" - I carry a number of gadgets around with me not to mention a bunch of keys, a wallet and a checkbook. All of that stuff just doesn't fit into my pants pocket. If we met in person I don't think you'd dare to give me give me a hard time about it either."
Current date: June 3rd 2009 - What the heck is a "checkbook"???
Its better looking than version 1 but whats the point? Didnt plain old cargo long fulfill this need? Besides, wearing this thing - a holster - is just asking to be approached, harassed, 'handled' or whatever else the idle beat cop may see fit.
new hampshire just allowed this product
wearing your gadget inside of an actual pistol holster might be much cooler.
You KNOW he HATED this photoshoot!! LMAO!
Riddle me this. In a lineup of 40 people boarding a plane, guess who else beyond anyone from Middle Eastern descent (sorry guys its true.) is going to randomly be picked for a search? Anyone care to guess? Anyone at all? Billy sleeping in the corner over there?
That and TSA reps aren't the brightest bulbs in the pack. Anything that would slow me down getting through an airport because it might look off to Jethro an his 10th grade edu-ma-cation......no not so much thanks.
Beyond that it just looks gay too. If you are going to have a man purse do it. No need to have a fracking holster thingy.
Jesus Christ guys, I can't believe the replies here. It's the twenty-first fucking century and a black man is president. How can you love technology and not embrace the progress in social freedoms that allows a man to wear a bag like this? I'm actually been planning on getting something like this. The smartphone, the ipod, the keys, wallet, headphone, and change filling these bulging saddlebags on my hips feel like sandbags on a hot air balloon (and book, netbook?, makeup, other crap). And makes it uncomfortable to sit. And you can't beat people down because you can't run after them. Women's pants pockets are small. They know something we don't. You need this, people.
This is engadget, only way you would get them to consider buying it is if there was a half-eaten fruit logo on it...
hahahahaahahahahahahahahahaha

He looks about as manly as chuck norris right there
Actually, the one on think geek looks much better since it looks like a holster rather than a damn purse.

Incidentally I own one of the Thinkgeek ones and I do walk into bars wearing the thing. People think I have a gun because it is a holster especially from the back. I just don't tell them that it houses my phone, my keys and my MP3 player.
He must be the ULTIMATE MAN!
Thats so lame.
A real man only needs what can fit in his pockets.
Why can't these companies who make wearable gadget-related clothing and items find attractive people to model their goods? When I see photos like these, it does NOT make me want to rush out and buy what they're selling. Just because you MAKE the thing, doesn't mean I want to see your scary mug on the product shots.
Note to geek-CEO's who run clothing companies (e-Volve, Scott eVest, and whomever else): Hire some models, for crying out loud. Don't do Playboy playmates, or anything over the top. That just looks like you're trying too hard... like we're supposed to believe any supermodel-type would ever wear anything your companies make. Give us a break. Just find some models who look good and stay out of the photos.
First, some of you men seem a bit homophobic. I'd suggest taking a steam bath so your testicles can descend a little. Second, a "murse", a "man purse", whatever, it's a bag that carries stuff. Not everyone's lifestyle is the same, and it is just absurd to stuff your jeans with all the things one needs to carry these days. It's convenient. The only people who have a problem with this is people who have nothing better else to do with their time than attempt to ridicule others, most likely because they have no inner self worth, or esteem themselves, and if they do, it comes by way of thinking they are better than others.
Rather than see it as it is, a bag that carries stuff, no different than a gym bag but smaller, you have ignorant people who go along with "society" and the masses who never think for themselves anyhow. Rather than form an original thought themselves, which if is intelligent, will be contrary to the masses and they will face ridicule. Therefore, they don't. If anyone is weak, it's those people, the followers of those that dictate what is acceptable, it's not the person who wears what some idiot deems as a "murse". How stupid.
The only issue I have is the black on black which you can't see it well, at least on my computer. The tight lipped smirk, his posture and hand placement, and style of it - it empowers the hobgoblin of little minds. My American style bag is much cooler looking than the Euro bag they have here, or so it is for me.

Ditch the Euro bag and get a messenger bag, as it is called, by Everest. Or just stuff your jeans full of shit and look silly, either or.
LMAO!!!! It's a Man Purse...MURSE!
Well, if this guy ever gets pulled over for speeding, he better not reach for the phone to call the wife (husband?) to tell her he'll be late!

My dad wants one of those. I REALLY wanted to just say "hell no dumbass" but to each is own.
Start calling him "mom" and he'll see the truth.
ummmmmm, the JANDD Herman Munster is still the greatest man purse ever.
