Bowler DSLR Bag: The Jesus Approved
Posted by Matt Buchanan at 12:10 AM on October 1, 2008
Not the most practical DSLR bag, but Acme Made's Bowler is definitely the awesomest, if only for the strong odour of The Big Lebowski. You won't be able to cram a million lenses into its satin-lined polyurethane shell, but if The Jesus carried around a DSLR, you know it would be in this bag. And you don't fu—well, you know the rest. If the red's a little too flamboyant for you, there'll be navy and black versions following it in December for $US40. [Acme Made via Crave via BBG]

It's... a purse. Not manly enough. I carry my DSLR inside a satchel made from the bones of vanquished foes.

Maybe a good gift to a photog girlfriend like mine.
Anyway, I can't seem to find it on Acme Made's website.

If it actually looked like a bowling ball bag it might have a purpose except for the fact that it wouldnt fit a 70-200/2.8. If it did it would be great for keeping you from getting mugged.
Now, a case that said "H&K MP5SD" might be marketable.

Just think for a second. Storing your camera in a bag that screams "I Have a camera inside" versus storing it in a bag that says "I Have a giant stupid, valueless bowling ball inside". I rest my case. I tote my lappy around in a beat-up old jansport backpack for the same reason. People steal backpacks with "books" in them far less than they steal laptop bags with laptops in them.
It's a simple way to fuck with peoples heads.

/me wonders why Gizmodo never considers what [product] Mohamed, Abraham, or the Buddha would use.
