Caption contest: Palm strikes a pose in Spain

There are three things in this crazy world that scare the living daylights out of us: poor battery life, scratched screens, and seven-foot tall she-bots wielding Pres like concealed weapons. This, it seems, was the nightmarish scenario facing Madrid as it launched Palm's first webOS-based phone this week.

Chris: "I'm being treated well, but please, it's imperative that you buy this phone as expediently as possible."
Richard Lai: "My other toy is the Pre."
Ross: "It says if we don't do exactly as it commands, the Spiders from Mars will return and destroy us all."
Darren: "Geordi La Forge and I are like this."
Josh T.: "So far they have treated me well, but I fear that could change at any moment. If you comply with their demand for 300 pairs of leather pants, they say I will be released unharmed."
Thomas: "Sir, I assure you, this is exactly how they do it in America."

Just a tad strange... That is all.

It was a most elusive fish.

[Volatile Posted Oct 17th 2009 4:41PM]

What is this I dont even...

[3rdsun Posted Oct 17th 2009 9:52PM]

Rihanna in one of her bad girl outfits just happens to walk pass at the Pre presentation

[SecondTomorrow Posted Oct 18th 2009 4:41AM]

Rhianna's black.

[DariaMorgendorffer Posted Oct 17th 2009 4:44PM]

this looks like some Almodovar movie scene....

[Ethan Posted Oct 17th 2009 4:46PM]

Having a phone only one year old, it was only right for movistar to balance things out by throwing an 80-themed party.

[rlopin Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:24PM]

The Pre is only 4 months old, not 1 year.

[Ethan Posted Oct 17th 2009 6:17PM]

Schoolboy error.

[frleus Posted Oct 17th 2009 4:46PM]

Tokio Hotel and their mothers

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 17th 2009 4:48PM]

We believe these "Repli-cants", will be very useful.

[Raikus Posted Oct 17th 2009 4:49PM]

I don't remember this scene in Willow.

[Barkus Posted Oct 17th 2009 4:52PM]

@shebeast says: Orson Welles who?

[TikiTeko Posted Oct 17th 2009 4:52PM]

Vale, que anuncio mas gilipolla....

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 17th 2009 4:54PM]

Is this Sparta?

[TikiTeko Posted Oct 17th 2009 6:08PM]

O, it is Spain

[Smart People Play Tuba Posted Oct 17th 2009 8:43PM]

No, sorry. This is madness. I'm afraid you've dialed the wrong number.

[DaHarder Posted Oct 17th 2009 4:54PM]

So That's What Adam Lambert's Been Up To... ;-)

[srpsco Posted Oct 17th 2009 4:54PM]

objects in mirror are closer than they appear

[bfont Posted Oct 17th 2009 4:58PM]

Wait. So who is the little woman with red hair?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 20th 2009 4:28AM]

Listen well to her announcing the Pre and you'll figure it out:
"OK everybody, remember when this guy on his late show made fun of the iPhone? Huh? This time Palm did it. It's for real guys, it's a blow drier as well. In fact it's too hot that you can see its afterburners on this model's face. Oh believe me guys those are no sunglasses. I know because I am Conan.

[raystevensii Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:01PM]

"say HELLO to my LITTLE FRIEND!"

[TikiTeko Posted Oct 17th 2009 6:03PM]

lol George Lopez?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:05PM]

Mad Max called, he wants his Pre back

[Floppy Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:05PM]

"And behind me is our mascot for the new, 'I'm a Pre' campaign. Are people paying attention to us yet?"

[TikiTeko Posted Oct 17th 2009 6:18PM]

That eccentricity is common in Spain. I actually think, the short lady wearing flat shoes was the center of attention.

[GeekGirl Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:05PM]

Pre- ejaculation

[TikiTeko Posted Oct 17th 2009 6:17PM]

That is what she said... pre-mature....

[Altairantares Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:05PM]

"She used to be a real person!"

[versionII Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:06PM]

Conan O'brian comes out of the closet.

[Cheesus Crust Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:46PM]

Hha

[SecondTomorrow Posted Oct 18th 2009 4:42AM]

Conan O'Brian is at least 5 feet taller than her. Counting hair, 7.

[Samurai Jack Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:09PM]

"Dr. Ruth, I pre-sume?"

[TikiTeko Posted Oct 17th 2009 6:16PM]

What is funny is that the prnounciation is (prih) as in (PRINcipal) but I am sure Spaniards will go with the (preh) and in PREsident. I, myself, call it the Palma Pre.

[Dolphers Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:09PM]

Failed model for the Palm Pixie.

[Steven P Jobs Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:10PM]

I'm pretty sure Halloween is on October 31st.

[Sil Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:11PM]

Ah movistar i still do prefer Claro

[TikiTeko Posted Oct 17th 2009 6:09PM]

Orange for the win

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:26PM]

"Welcome to Thunderdome, leprechaun!"

[djd808 Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:24PM]

That's right, it's "Bring your Avatar to Work Day", kids...where is yours??

[TikiTeko Posted Oct 17th 2009 6:10PM]

Up to this day, I have no idea how to get an avatar on this site, a display picture.

[djd808 Posted Oct 17th 2009 6:12PM]

me either...I think I'm just not techy enough...

[sdambrot Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:44PM]

"Por favor...not the bull!"

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:46PM]

Guess which one is the Nokia user.

[TikiTeko Posted Oct 17th 2009 6:14PM]

It would definitely match her shiny leather; however, it would not fit in ther absent pockets.

[Creative Captions Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:45PM]

...and I think we'll all agree, "Catwoman" would have been a much better flick if Halle Berry had used a Pre in it!

[sdambrot Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:46PM]

"Please save me, creepy TV senorita!"

[GC Posted Oct 18th 2009 12:42PM]

"When your company takes a massive loss in profit they can only afford Lady Gaga's stunt double to pitch the pre."

[AnandRam Posted Oct 17th 2009 5:52PM]

"She is our new weapon in this war on iTunes syncing."

[TikiTeko Posted Oct 17th 2009 6:12PM]

+1 Apple now will take Palm serious.
