Okay, the only way this would ever be acceptable for a guy down here in the south to carry around would be if it had a gun hidden in it. You know what, screw the handbag, the flashlight machine gun is about the same size, and it's a flashlight! AND a gun!

"Yes, all you rugged and slightly dishevelled types (NutBastard, I mean you) fear no more about being an outmoded man in a metrosexual world, for you too can pick up the Urban Performer Unit."

first of all, ahem, it's nutbastard, one word, no caps. If you're gonna cap on me, don't do it literally.

"an outmoded man in a metrosexual world"

Look i've known for many years that most women are completely insane - the metrosexual trend proves it. YOU'RE ALL CRAZY, I'M THE SANE ONE!!!

Ok so FIRST aqueousbeef accuses me of being five-foot-seven, Giz neglects to post any actual photos of me from the meetup, and NOW i catch shit from the spinning fan of slander yet again?

Yeah, I feel bad for gay people everywhere, because this "bag" goes waaay beyond gay.

I venture to guess that if someone was seen on the street with this thing, the random gay people nearby would be just as complicit in the resulting beating as everyone else...

In fact I propose that we stop calling this bag gay, and give it the more appropriate description of:

spineless-wussy-douche-metro-scenester-fruit-fucknut-macfanboy-tard

nat lyon — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 09:37:06 EDT

So sad. One more example of European marketing departments thinking they understand the hip urban market. Unfortunately, they are usually not hip or urban- so they make their best guess. This company is probably in some small valley in the Alps and they are trying to imagine some bizarro-hipster-disco-ice-dancing world where some idiot might possibly think this is a compelling product. Global marketing strategies could use be fewer marketing visionaries and more anthropologists...

On the upside- not all Austrians look this toolish.
