Meizu partners with Karry Auto to sing KIRFer's Delight

Karry Auto (a phonetic mistranslation of the English word "carry") is a division of the Chinese car maker Chery, infamous for getting sued by Chevy for knocking off its designs. Meizu... well, we're guessing you're a little more familiar with the history there. The two companies have joined forces in China, with Karry Auto giving away a Meizu M8 SE with every tiny truck or little van sold until April 30. Should you have any lingering doubts about the legitimacy of the designs of either cars or phones involved in this deal, just take a long look at that guy up there on the right. Everything is A-OK.

[Thanks, Etzer]

[Queshun Posted Mar 25th 2010 9:38AM]

@brendon
That's ET.

@Exbloder HTC should just make a car and if it is any where as close to as good as their phones I am sure they would be great! Now with google android built in, now that would be pretty cool

@angermeans
Yeah, let SkyNet drive for you. It's A-OK. Spares them a nuke.

@brendon

It looked more like a heart to me. As in KIRFers love each other?

[skyblaze Posted Mar 25th 2010 9:51AM]

I'm a KIRF, he's a KIRF, she's a KIRF, we're all KIRFs, HEY!

i'm just wondering why BMW or Audi haven't given away free BMW/Audi phones....oh wait.

[tonicboy Posted Mar 25th 2010 10:46AM]

@williamlau05
Audi gave away free Xbox's (with car purchase) for a promotion once.

[wenling05 Posted Mar 25th 2010 9:55AM]

The dude on the right is actually a very famous Taiwanese magician. I think his name is Lu Chen.

[reidme Posted Mar 25th 2010 10:19AM]

@wenling05

You are correct.

@wenling05
Looks like a head-on magic battle between Meizu and Apple... Who you gonna bring out, Apple? Copperfield?

[wenling05 Posted Mar 25th 2010 12:52PM]

@onlymyrailgun
this magician dude is going to try and make Apple disappear lol

[bolezhinkov Posted Mar 25th 2010 1:13PM]

@wenling05

so he's not reliving an old kids in the hall skit?

[tekdemon Posted Mar 26th 2010 12:41AM]

@reidme His tricks are actually pretty nice-I like how he puts some new spins on old tricks to make them see that much more believable.

[hmmwv Posted Mar 25th 2010 10:20AM]

I see, apparently this is to celebrate the 2 millionth Chery, not too bad for a 11 year run. I can see them moving away from KIRFs in recent years, just like Meizu. In regards to the name, I think in pinyin "karry" sounds closer to its Chinese name than "carry."

[crapNstuff Posted Mar 25th 2010 10:31AM]

Lie, cheat, steal

[Crazy J Posted Mar 25th 2010 10:32AM]

OKAY!!!!

[Mykro Sopht Posted Mar 26th 2010 3:20AM]

"just take a long look at that guy up there on the right. Everything is A-OK."

Clearly Meizu goes to Karry-OK.

[wussup Posted Mar 25th 2010 4:33PM]

[ecsw Posted Mar 25th 2010 6:01PM]

@wussup

From Taiwan.
As freaky as Criss Angel. Ah... the famous hand through the glass table.

[tekdemon Posted Mar 26th 2010 12:53AM]

@ecsw Heh, too bad he made it a little too obvious how he did it when he was starting the trick...ended it very well though but I'm pretty sure the hosts were in on it since it seems like it only looks good from farther away where you can't see what he's doing lol.
