Slashdot

OK, it looks a bit funny-peculiar, and the advert has obviously been translated into English (?) by a famous Taiwanese firm of technical translators (who only employ native speakers of Qetchua and !Kung for their Chinese-English translations). But other than that, what's funny? Lifejacket technology (well, I recognise it as a lifejacket) for inflating the airbag has been re-shaped to protect head and neck from impact and bending forces. I'm a bit dubious about the efficacy of the breathing tube arrangement, but I'm also pretty dubious about the efficacy of the "Airpocket" [sharkgroup.co.uk] which I have to wear travelling to and from my work. I'm more dubious about this being successfully deployed (or maintained) by amateur skiers who only slide around on planks for a week or so per year.
Then again, I'd suspect that it's not aimed at amateur plankers, but at professional skiers - both those who shepherd the amateur plankers and those who have to ski to get to their work locations for a significant part of the year. Rescue workers would also be an obvious target market - no small number of people searching for avalanche victims have been hit by further avalanches from the same feeder slopes.
Nope, sorry, I don't see anything funny about this. Should I make the traditional rude comparisons between SlashDot's "editors" and a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys?
