Disenchanted with his cellular service, a Korean man decided to take an interesting and unconventional approach to retribution. After trying unsuccessfully to get SK Telecom to fix his device he decided to drive over to SK offices. The problem is, when he got there, he just kept driving — right through the front of the building.
Actually, that’s not entirely true. First he parked and put signs on his car that read “Delinquent SK.” He then attempted to enter the building but was stopped by security guards who asked him to move his car. As you can see, he complied to the request, but probably not quite in the manner the guards had had in mind.
Now you probably can’t tell from the picture, but that car is a Mercedes S500, which runs about $90,000. I know cellular companies can be a total pain in the ass, but this route (get it?) seems less than productive. What’s more, for someone who can afford an S500 to be crying about a cellphone seems, well, crazy. I guess that’s it. We can just discredit this as the actions of a crazy man.
This is stupider than those belt clips that guys use for their cell phones. I never understood why guys do that anyway. I mean, your pocket is like 2-inches away.
Anyway, consider this the equivalent for women. Now they too can wear their cell phones in a ridiculous place: their ankles. Totally convenient too. Just bend over every time you want to answer your phone. No way it’d get all smashed up that low either. Your legs never brush into anything. I’m sure this would be perfect at a club if, you know, you don’t want to leave the place with your phone.
For the past two years a Des Moines bar has run iPod Monday, a gathering where patrons bring in their iPods and share playlists others in attendance. For two years, Clint Curtis, the event coordinator, has sent weekly updates to Apple and prior to the event he asked for permission. For two years, Apple remained silent.
Then one day Curtis quietly received an email from Apple ordering him to cease and desist iPod Monday. The letter read,
“Please choose a name for your product that is consistent with Apple’s guidelines (that does not include iPod or any other Apple trademark or variation thereon).”
I dunno about you guys, but I think this is pretty lame. The bar clearly wasn’t using an Apple trademark in any diabolical scheme for profit. It was a gimmick that ultimately advertised for Apple. Pretty stupid.
Every year local news outlets drag out that old chesnut, the most dangerous toys of the year. This year they focus on Heely’s aka Massive Head Trauma in a Shoe and a Superman lamp that could, according to W.A.T.C.H., a fey child protection/consumer group, kill your children and then micturate on their graves.
The manufacturer’s proclamation that the figurine is not a toy has little meaning to small children, who may be attracted to the figurine, and thus be exposed to the potential electrical hazard.
Kids are also attracted to lye, car batteries and dynamite. Just put the damn lamp on a high shelf and keep junior away from the stepladder. Danger averted.
If you’re one of those people who never surf, but like to wear surfing clothing for some reason, I’d like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to the La Brea Massive limited edition Zunes. Stussy, Union and Undftd represent the La Brea Massive stores, the most prominent retailers on La Brea Ave.
Each retailer will receive two limited edition Zune kits to auction off. The kits include on logo-toting Zune with a staff picked playlist, Shure E5c headphones, JBL On Tour portable speakers and a Zero Halliburton case. The reserve price started at $350, but will surely fetch big bucks from some rich kid. The Auction started on the 28th and runs until the 13th.
Well this is about the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen, but it’s impressive nonetheless. This video shows some guy running over a Samsung YP-K5 MP3 boombox with his truck. I’m not sure why he did it, but the player withstood the beating admirably.
File this one under stupid. The Water Bank of America, Inc. will soon be offering ice trays that are hermetically sealed with spring water. There is currently no stated price, but Ice Rocks will come in packs of 4, 24, 48 and an economy size that holds 200 cubes.
Now I have to wonder about the real demand for this. The price will surely be jacked up. If you really need frozen spring water, couldn’t you just buy a cheap bottle of water (like say under $1) and fill some ice trays on your own? I daresay you could.
Alright so technically, they just made some speakers named Mt. Everest, but they do weigh 313 pounds, which might as well be as heavy as a mountain for some people (me). The Mt. Everest speakers blast at 500-watts and measure mountainously at 9″ x 18.5″ x 44″. So if you have $30,000 to buy them, I hope you have a lot of spare room.
Our pals in Nippon will be able to purchase the Mt. Everest on September 21. I’m going to import seven of them and make a surround system using these monstrosities solely. Yea. Someone want to recommend a good receiver?
