    How is it relevant? I cannot think of a more fitting toy for Carly than a Hello Kitty vibrator..

    Looks like those corners are too sharp! They should have taken some design cues from Sanrio.

    What do you mean no Domo-kun?

    At least they don't have a Hello Kitty version. Seems there's a Hello Kitty Everything.

    some serious personality clashes with some of the long-timers (this is a barely-surviving dotcom firm in an ultra-niche market).
    most of the people here are battle-weary
    Normally that isn't a bad thing when your product is used by many people to enhance their lives, but this place is in an ultra-niche market with, as I might say, a very small potential audience.
    There's no sense here of using technology to better people's lives--just to find ways to squeeze pennies out of advertisers, clients, and the very few customers that buy the sort of things we sell.


    No need to pussyfoot around it, you work for the marketer of hello kitty vibrators don't you!
    I had a friend who had one proudly displayed on her desk in her dorm room.

    Volkswagen has already put out a New Beetle Special Edition in a similar brilliant yellow. The color was called Reflex Yellow (this is not me; my VW is a 2000 Golf and is white) and was only available in a limited number 2,000 and only available online. However, if you wanted to purchase one of these used and add an Autobot logo with either a vinyl sticker or having a body shop paint one on (relatively expensive, but the best shops will do a wonderful custom job ...)

    I was not able to find any photos online of a Beetle being painted to look like Bumblebee, but there is a vast aftermarket out there for Volkswagens and finding a tire and wheel combination that would be similar to that seen on the cartoon would not be hard. You could even have the wheels powdercoated Reflex Yellow (the paint code for the car should be in the spare tire well if it's in the same place as it is on Golfs). I personally think it would look mean with the wheels powdercoated black...

    Honestly, Goldbug is a much better replica of a Beetle, though I'm glad the New Beetle isn't offered in that garish yellow. Looks like a late '70s model from the elephant's-foot taillamps...

    For more news, take a look at the VWVortex.com page on the Special Edition New Beetle. This site is a wonderful resource for VW owners -- take a look in the forums and poke around the main page; ignore the whining for best results. (I'm personally looking forward to seeing what that Jetta Coupe looks like they're building...)
