As every seasoned holiday shopper can attest, the week leading up to Christmas is critical. We've all been there: lack of sleep and proper nutrients leads to errors in judgment, collateral damage, and most heinous of all: crapgadgets. How can you be sure that the media dock that you purchased for a loved one is the real deal? Well, you could peruse our Holiday Gift Guide selection of docks and alarm clocks, for starters. But if you're in a crunch, ask yourself the following questions: Is the speaker set manufactured by the Kaiser Transmission Parts Company of Taipei? Does it feature a mind-numbing array of features? (The above example includes SD card support, a 5 megapixel webcam, and support for external storage via USB.) Does the black and orange color combination make you dizzy? And, the most telling: Does the product literature boast support for the Meizu M8? If so, then yes, you probably have a crapgadget. If you're undaunted -- and you have $53.99 to burn -- hit the source link. Or get a closer look after the break.
Looks like a pair of boobies to me.
(So does that make it a boob box?) Boom tush!

A meme is born: "Looks like boobies to me!"
@Oflife: IMO it looks like a giant insect. With a really freakin' wide head.

'That's what HE said!'
Sorry...
@Oflife, I guess so you can use a bra to carry it around.

espionage
@brokensticks
Obviously secretly taping your girlfriend while you guys listen to barry manilow on those ultra low sound speakers. She'll never suspect that piece of shit has a webcam. Though its probably about 5fps. I didnt click the read link so correct me its ok.
WHY?
"Ultra-Low sound stereo speaker "
Yes, I've always wanted speakers I can barely hear!
"Can use as computer speaker"
With ultra-low sound STEREO speakers, I'd be CRAAAAZY not to!!
In summary, ALL YOUR CRAPGADGET ARE BELONG TO US!
gizfever.com? really? and they're shilling plastic boobies??
"Ultra-Low sound stereo speaker" I've always wanted speakers I could barely hear!
"can use as computer speaker" I'd be crazy not to do that with those awesome speakers!!
In summary, ALL YOUR CRAPGADGET ARE BELONG TO US!
@brokensticks crap.... did think I posted the first time...
@brokensticks wish I could delete...
If this thing said Sony on the front, I wouldn't bat an eyelash. They seem to have a penchant for using orange and designing bubble shaped stereos.
well, I've finally found a gift for everyone on my list. gramps is gonna love it.
ive been better industrial design on a sippy cup
Wow, now i can do a video conversation while actually listening to music!
It's ugly and I'd never buy it, but it doesn't sound all that bad for the price and features.
Now we know which engadget users have never seen real boobies.
