Weird Combo of the day, china, clock, gadgets, hidden camera, mp4, mp4 player

Racing Rim Camera Is Clock, Spy Cam, MP4 Player, Impossibly Fugly

I'm not quite sure I've got this right, but this here thingy is a remote-controlled clock-MP4 player-hidden camera. Apparently it's a product that can be used for "any purpose you can think of, without anyone ever being the wiser." ¿Qué? The built-in camera is PAL and NTSC-compatible, there is 128MB of flash memory, as well as an SD card slot and USB 2.0.

Even the girl in the pic is looking confused. The Tire-Clock-Camera-MP4-player combo is $217. Yeah, still baffled here. [ChinaVision Techpin]

I see it now. Four middle aged dudes in a boardroom trying to come up with the next hip new concept that kids will "dig".

"Kids like pictures, ya know, like for their MyPlace, or whatever it is. Let's make this thing take pictures."

"Yeah but it's gotta be able to play songs, like an iPod. Kids loves that stuff."

"Don't forget the Fast and the Furious. Let's find a way to incorporate that too."

"I'm totally into voyeurism."

:everyone looks at one another, uncomfortable silence:

"Yeah ok, let's figure out a way to throw that in too. Someone call China. Tell 'em we're sending over some specs for this years hottest new gadget."

@islandhopper: OMG LOL! I was thinking that, but couldn't put it in words! I think If I gave this to my good friend though, she would b*tch slap me for spending $217 on a "Tire-Clock-Camera-MP4-player"

They could have at least put zeros on the end of the numbers "Hey man, what time is it?" "120MPH BABY YEAH!!!" "You mean 12 o'clock?" "Yeah..."

Not sure what the MP4 is really good for, but a shop foreman that wants to keep an eye on his mechanics would probably invest in one of these. As for the best wishes to a good friend...somebody go slap the translator and quality control in the head.

Is it common to spell tire t-y-r-e? It's driving me nuts, I'm seconds from running into the parking garage and checking out all the tires.

After looking at this "tyre" more closely I believe the Japanese are once again testing the uses of LSD, this time on Hapless designers... Actually looking at Japan.. I suspect this may have been going on for some time now. Man, Now I want to go to Japan even more.
