Nabaztag’s Wi-Fi Bunny: Le Lapin Crazeee…
August 21, 2006
The Inquirer's Chip Mulligan offers what has got to be the funniest review ever written of the Nabaztag Wi-Fi Bunny.
While the device was designed to relay traffic, weather, news and e-mail alerts, Mulligan says "the crazy thing genuinely seems to be developing a mind of its own, and I give it another six months before it gets up and starts looking for Sarah Connor."
Key events in Mulligan's recent Nabaztag adventures:
- waking me up at 3am with a blood curdling scream; nearly causing me to soil my sheets
- the occasional morning where I have been awoken (at a more decent hour) by a saucy French girl's voice, making me to think, for one pleasant moment, that I might actually be in bed with Laetitia Casta
- wittering on at me in the middle of the day in Franglais (half French, half English) about how bored it is
- petrifying my slightly senile 86-year old grandmother (bless her) who thought the devil had come down in the form of a white bunny (with sharp pointy teeth?)
- and, most freakily of all, when I was carrying our some, ahem, "special research" on the Internet screamed out "HOW DARE YOU!?" I kid you not.
Finally, showing a truly masochistic side, Mulligan offers a link (username "fnuky") through which you can send a message to his bunny, and try, just try, to drive him insane…
