When I hear the word “Walkman” I think of old school cassette players like the one pictured above. I can’t believe Sony is still putting out products under that name. High tech products, no less! That’s like Ford creating the world’s 1st luxury car that runs on kool-aid, and naming it “The all new Ford Pinto.”
For those who didn’t get the Pinto reference, I must first explain the ghetto-ass That’s My Car game. The whole objective of it was to point at a nice car before someone else did, then yell out “THAT’S MY CAR!” You could also point at a crappy-looking vehicle and yell out “THAT’S YOUR CAR!” to insult the person next to you.
The ultimate comeback for someone who was beaten to the punch whenever a luxury sports car drove by was to be like “Nuh-uhh! That ain’t your car! You got a Pinto!” Pintos were considered so horrible, using that insult was like the Big Joker in a game of spades: it cut through ANYTHING!
Sorry to take two paragraphs out to explain my joke, but if you go back to paragraph one and read it again, you’ll probably smile this time. It’s like Michael Colyer and Redman said: “If you didn’t get it, laugh now, then figure the sh*t out when you get home.”
Does anyone out there have a Walkman phone? If so, how do you like it? Nokia, it’s your turn to raise the bar! I want to see an MP3 player/phone/personal data assistant/television set/internet browser/hair clippers/tazer called the 8-Track. Get to work, scientists and engineers!
