Lamborghini Laptop sets new low in taste... Please make it stop.

I often wonder if 15 year old boys are running the licensing divisions at Ferrari and Lamborghini these days.  I have long averted my eyes in disgust at the various supercar-branded laptops, mice, and hard drives that have proliferated over the past 5 or so years. But this new Lamborghini laptop puts me over the edge. This cash-grabbing monkey business masquerading as "branding" really needs to stop. Now. Please.  This new product line crosses the line between fanboy obsession and downright kitsch. I'd put it in the same category as a couch made from the tailfins of a '59 cadillac. Just vulgar.

if this is kitschy, then it gives kitsch a bad name.

Have you seen the Ferrari Hasselblad? http://www.hasselbladusa.com/news/hasselblad-meets-ferrari.aspx

Oh wow. That is awful. The Walter De Silva Audi design Leica is beautiful and tasteful, however. And doesnt have any branding all over it, thank god!!

I love the relation between the Lambo & ASUS logo on this thing. It pretty much embodies the whole product.

And yes, if I was 15, I'd lust this thing.. and then feel uber silly if I somehow attained it.
