BeerMonkey Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 yep the new "I.BEAT Blaxx" (i beat blacks) all they need now is one called I.BEAT Whites racist as thou thoughts?
EchoDesiato Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Their marketing department suxx. But they changed the name now.
ShadowV7 Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 I can so see someone hearing the wrong end of the conversation. Dude 1 - I got my beat blacks last night Dude 2 hears "beat blacks last night" Dude 1 woke up in hospital the next morning with 3 broken ribs.
AshMat Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Is it wrong i laughed really ahrd when i saw that?
Bluejay Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 In before someone says this MP3 player conveys the same message as Resident Evil 5 or something to that effect.
Shorty Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 How does something like this get all the way through the mechanics of a company's design and marketing without somebody spotting the problem?
mcj metroid Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Just in case anybody thought I was being serious, I found this mp3 player fuckin hilarious Ha i thought you might:) Brilliant. i'll get one just for the humour
Ramar Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Is it wrong i laughed really ahrd when i saw that? If it is, we're both condemned.
Cube Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 How does something like this get all the way through the mechanics of a company's design and marketing without somebody spotting the problem? Look at how quickly they changed the name. Almost as if they already had the other name ready.
Mokong Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 How the hell could they not have thought "Hey i wonder if anyone will notice this name sound really wrong"
EchoDesiato Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Hmm, maybe this was a publicity stunt? Bad publicity is still publicity, is what they say. So in that aspect you could consider it to be clever. I mean, who ever heard of Trekstor before this?
thirtynine. Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 THey would have sold 2142135423562 x more with the racist name.
AshMat Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 The advert would be fantastic. 2 white guys stoo in a black mans' bar *Pulls out mp3 player* "Hey man, what's that?" "I Beat Blaxx!" Leave the rest to your imagination.
McPhee Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Look out for the 2nd generation version: iBeat KDS (kids)
