I’m not normally surprised by odd behavior as I am often willing to partake in it myself a little too often, but when I came across Crumpler’s MacWorld Expo press release today I was thrown for a loop. Crumpler, you see, makes bags for laptops, electronics, camera gear, and Messenger bags. They are at MacWorld to announce some new bags in The Squirrel line, namely the IT Apprentice, Winston Fleece, Software Engineer, Reginald Transfer, and Harry Hoard models. Hunh? A look at their website is even more confusing. Here’s the description from their Moderate Embarassment model:
Oh dear, oh deary me, oh yes, oh no, okay – you need to put that thing away, yes, hmmm, it’s soooo ugly – You carried that for nine months, baby? Ooohh…
I’ll just put it this way… When you load the site (and I caution you to think about this before doing so) there is a red button and a chain. Push the red button and the site is splattered by what must be feces. Pull the chain to get a flushing sound and the “feces” goes away. There’s really nothing untoward about the site, really. Its just very, very, very weird.

CRUMPLER RULES.
There is a store here in the Netherlands. During one promotion, they accepted beer for payment of the bags. Their bags are great, and sell themselves, so I think the marketing department just doesn’t give a shit. So frefreshing!.
