Here we go, a completely stupid idea to round out the week in style. Whatever your thoughts on smoking, I reckon most people would agree that a mobile phone combined with a ciggie lighter would be possibly one of the silliest ideas mankind ever came up with. Well, blow me down, boffins (and when I say boffins, I mean factory owners who drank some dodgy green tea) in China have only gone and done just that, according to CrunchGear. That’s not the stupidest bit, though, no sirree bobby. The stupidest bit is the name.
That ‘Machismo’ in the title of this blog post? Yeah, that’s not just a badly chosen word, that’s what they’ve called the chuffin’ thing…
Ah-hahahahahahaha, have you ever heard anything so daft? I can only think of two possible reasons for choosing that as the name of a phone. Either the creators of the Machismo have been, as I intimated earlier, on some dodgy green tea, or they’re ever so slightly taking the mickey. They couldn’t have chosen a more inappropriate name if they’d called it the Chuck Norris…
And as for specs, don’t expect anything special. Chinese clone phones never have very good specs, and this is no different, as you’re looking at a 1.3MP camera, a touchscreen (which will all be in Chinese) and dual sim capability. And that’s it, other than, of course, the built in ciggie lighter. It’s no Nokia N900, let’s put it that way…
So, it’s got rubbish specs, a bleedin’ stupid name, and to add insult to injury, that guy in the promotional photo is quite clearly a non-smoker, thus rendering the whole enterprise pointless, and allowing us to get some despairing lols on a Friday…
