Is the Game Boy the Toughest Product Ever Made?

Posted by kdawson on from the electronic-cockroaches dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNET is running an article about tough technology, which aptly includes the Nintendo Game Boy, a device so tough that mine still works after many years. 'There's no two ways about it: the original Game Boy is one of the hardest gadgets ever conceived. Rumor has it this beige behemoth isn't made of plastic, but from the skulls of fallen Gurkhas. If you ever saw one that was broken, it's because it lost a boxing match with a nuclear bomb — on points.' So do you agree that the Game Boy is the toughest consumer electronics device ever made?"

    The SEGA GENESIS NIGGER EDITION WITH SPECIAL RON PAUL AND HEATH LEDGER DECALS is the toughest product ever made. You could shoot a fried chicken leg at nearly c, which would destroy any other thing on the planet, and still the thing would fucking devour the little morsel of poultry, while at the same time being a gay, constitution protecting cowboy!!
