Addy Changes the World One Bag at a Time
Posted by Jesus Diaz at 11:15 PM on September 5, 2008
Remember the video above, with our very own and beloved Addy Dugdale cursing and tearing apart Sharp's IFA 2007 sharp-as-knives gigantic swag bags? Well, I'm happy to report that Addy changed the world that day, once and forever. I witnessed the consequences of her actions at IFA 2008:
Remember the video above, with our very own and beloved Addy Dugdale cursing and tearing apart Sharp's IFA 2007 sharp-as-knives gigantic swag bags? Well, I'm happy to report that Addy changed the world that day, once and forever. I witnessed the consequences of her actions at IFA 2008:
This year, Sharp kept the same size, but made their bags inflatable. The result is that you had the same morons colliding with you everywhere, but at least it didn't hurt your legs, arms, or body. And with that, I really mean crotch.
Plus, as a bonus, I was able to use them to lie down, take a siesta, and tan in the Berlin Messe gardens. Thank you Addy, you make the world go 'round. [More IFA 2008 Coverage]

I cant wait to see the guys get banned when they comment on how hot she looks when she jumps up and down on it on that first vid.
They have no clue who Mr Addy is... >:)

That's actually really cool but could we get Giz to call up Sharp to find out if that really was the reason?

Wow that's a REALLY annoying bag. I can imagine getting really pissed off trying to walk around and constantly getting hit by other people's giant bags. I mean, it already happens to me in the NYC subways and the bags aren't even that large. I can completely agree with Addy on her reaction. It's not a practical idea.

@Curves: Why would saying she's hot be a bannable offense? I'd be happy knowing people think my better half is hot stuff, personally. Shit, i dont even mind when dudes buy my girl drinks at the bar. One less i gotta worry about paying for.

Now this just tears it... that lucky bastard is just flaunting her in our poor pathetic faces!!! And then daring us to say something, as if we had no feelings or emotions. sigh....
And I wonder about that too, has anyone reached sharp's PR guys?

@future-proof: As if Sharp would admit the reason. But the post is tongue in cheek. I don't care if there's a connection (I think it's plausible). I just think it's fun that they made them like that this year, which makes it look as Addy's complain had a part on it.

Sony had Resistance 2 bags that were like that (although not quite as big) at PAX. And everywhere you went you got pelted with them by people turning. Thank you Addy for taking up the anti-large-flat-bag-at-expos (ALFBAE) cause. One company at a time...

@bobojuice: It's probably not the "She's hot!" comments that would get you banned, just the "I bet she" type comments that would do the trick. Anybody care to give an example?

Call me a flamebaiting, banbaiting troll if you want. That was actually a warning to anyone with half a brain enough to see it. And yes, Addy looks great. Not only very pretty girl, but smart, which infinately squares her hottness factor. No, I am not a lesbian, (to the best of my knowledge anyway), but I DO have eyes.

It's admirable that the camera person kept the view above the neck when she started jumping. Admirable but disappointing.

I'm more interested in who the person in the second video is.
I mean, is Jesus running round after random woman with a video camera at IFA?
