Woot’s product descriptions are always great, but using a memo from Osama Bin Laden for the JVC Compact Mini DV Camcorder takes the cake:
I know you guys do some good work under trying conditions – it’s not easy to find the right EQ levels when you’re recording in a cave. But we’ve got to get more professional, Allah willing. For one thing, why are we even putzing around with audio? We haven’t released a new video in over a year, ever since Jawad dropped the camcorder (I hope old butterfingers is enjoying his 72 virgins now). That old analog cam just wasn’t suited to the Internet age anyway. I understand the budgetary constraints, but still: what does a jihadi have to do to get a lightweight, handheld digital video camera around here?
Sadly the deftly-woven blurbs seem to be wasted on most of the Woot audience, judging by the inanity of the comments. Genius is seldom recognized in its own time and all that I suppose.
But you are doing your part to bring awareness to that genius. Props for that.
you people are idiots. btw, what’s inanity?
woot does these every day and they are nothing but a joke, you sad sob
