Caption Contest: Rollerblading Billionaires

Posted by Adam Frucci at 1:51 AM on September 24, 2008

Larry and Sergey from Google made a surprise appearance at the G1 unveiling today, and they arrived on… rollerblades. Hoo boy. It's time for a caption contest.

My attempt: "No, we're not crazy billionaires insulated from the real world, completely cut off from what's cool and hip. Now everybody, grab your rollerblades! Dippin' Dots and bowl cuts are on us!"

Surely, you can do better.

What's the hardest thing about working for Google? Telling your mother you're gay.

Larry - "We've decided to do our bit for the environment by commutting to work on skates. Yes question from the back."

Man at the back - "How much Co2 do Google server farms contribute to global warning"

silence
crowd grow restless "How much Larry"

Larry - "Serge, I told you the 'ooowu look google has gone all green' would be harder sell than weapons of mass destruction.
Lets make a break for it. Skate man Skate like you've never skated before.

Sergey: "We thought of going that route but the PR department thought it wasn't such a hot idea"
Crowd: "Thank God for PR"

Seriously Gizmodo? Those aren't Rollerblades. They're speed skates. The World Inline Championships for speed skating were recently held in Spain this month. Recreational Rollerblades may be a thing of the past and quite laughable, but that's not what they're wearing. Comparing them to Dippin' Dots and bowl cuts just shows your ignorance.
