Default Presenting the world's worst-named MP3 player
Say hello to the Trekstor's new i.beat blaxx



Seriously. "I beat blacks." How many people at Trekstor completely failed to realize what they were naming their new player? Or perhaps it was intentional?

I guess that explains the heavy security measures at their offices.

Could actually be viewed as a 'compliment'...as in 'Blaxx Beats Are the Hippest'...if you know what I mean. Keep in mind that it is i.beat blaxx...which in the era of ipods and iphones etc. is definitely not associated with 'I'.

Right-o. In fact, you should walk up to a few gents of African descent and compliment them with a smiling "i.Beat blaxx!" Looking forward to your report on how that goes!

Off topic.

Outside of our main downtown shopping complex there are, periodically, well dressed black folk hawking mimeographed pamphlets telling about 'Black History'.

One time as I was walking by one of these gentlemen approached me. Before he was able to say anything I said: Black history? I know everything there is to know about Black history: You were captured and sold by your brothers...you were brought over on boats to America...you're pissed off!

Reciting Black History to Black People...refreshing. Seeing their expression afterwards: Priceless.

True story.

Black Canadians very different from Black Americians.

Not to suggest that I wouldn't get my ass whupped...

Is it true that the case for the i.beat blaxx is a white sheet?

har..they want too much.

The i.Beat blaxx will cost around £70 for the 2 GB version and £120 for the 4GB variant.

...or about $140,for the 2GB,and the $240 for the 4GB. U.S.

Will this blend maybe?

Ha! If you go on their website now, it's listed as just being the 'blaxx'!

Wonder if they've got the packaging changed yet?

I went to order one but, alas, they are out of stock.

That's a good point .. black people are always pissed at the white people, but what about the black people who sold them in the first place! They should be pissed at Africans, not white Americans.... surely..?
