Seen @ CES 2009: A man too tough for gadgets

by Kevin Kelly on Jan 11th 2009 8:30PM

On the way to Microsoft's booth, we encountered a man clearly so tough that he doesn't even need to class up one of the world's largest electronics shows by including shirt sleeves. Just in case that didn't get the point across, the writing on the back of the shirt says it all. This is clearly a man who ain't takin' any lip from some puny HDTV pitchman. Even Scrat in the back can't believe his attire.

Best CES coverage EVAR!

I don't know you but I was tempted to post "Not your personal Army".

I can't say I get the joke, but I think "Yer Daddy" is a pretty cool guy, he wears sleeveless shirts and doesn't afraid of anything.

I did a double take when I realized that this wasn't posted by Justin.

the personal army thing is from 4chan, but i cant see why it applies here either

I think my brain was turned off when I posted that or I abuse of the Copy / Paste buttons of my keyboard more than what I should.

I have a cold so probably was the fever talking.You know what, vote me down into oblivion and call it a day.

Right after this photo was taken, "Yer Daddy" punched that HDTV for looking at him.

No He just slapped him while repeating “who is your Daddy?” To demoralize him even more.

No! He's so tough the HDTV punched itself in the face for looking at him.

So is this about some dude in CES?

*sigh Oh well I have attacked people for lesser stuff.

DEAD TO THE SLEVELESS JERK!!!

My Daddy is optimus prime so suck it.

HA! THIS is awesome! my wife and i have a game we play. it's called "Man's Man." sort of like "Punch Bug" only no violence is involved. you call out "Man's Man!" then you have name all the things off about the dude that makes him a man's man as fast as you can. in this case, it would be "Man's Man!" -Sleeveless Who's Your Daddy Shirt! -Barbed Wire Tattoo! see how much fun it can be? you should all start to play this game. not only does it draw attention to how ridiculous they are, but also how hard some people try. and it's hours of fun for you and your friends!

Whatever helps your marriage...

I just noticed that the barbed wire tattoo doesn't even go all the way around. He much have told them to stop when they were approaching a sensitive spot.

It looks like he's holding something in his left hand. Do you lose points for calling out something that isn't there? Because I'd add a tallboy to that list.

what about that patch of red hair in the middle of his skull? And the obvious over-gelling of his hair?

@Shmil

those are bonus points. you also get more points if they hear you say it ;)

see, i would say he's left handed and is flexing his dominant arm's bicep for maximum damage. but you got the right idea!

This game intrigues me, seeing as how I live in South Carolina I think this game would get so much more play than Punch Bug

yeah, i live in WV so you can imagine the fun that can be had. sometimes even the women qualify.

I had a similar game, it was count the mullets.

well, we WERE thinking of moving to SC after she gets out of pharmacy school, ya know, for a change. but it appears SC and WV are more similar than we thought. mullets are our state hair style for men, women, and children alike. at least you guys have beaches :/

yeah awesome beaches, with NO waves. well that's not true, like....2-3 ft waves. But we had Stephen Colbert, and Bill Murray's Family.

Sunglasses pushed up onto the head.

I live in Texas.

If I started playing this game, I would never end. Ever.

Oh, fuck it, self esteem boost, here I come!

man's man: he has three stars

Yeah, you could really fill in a whole week with "Man's Man" bullet points here in SC.

You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but, goddammit, the first thing I think is white trash.

Joystiq needs more posts like this

umm WHY?

you mean more like this

Now I don't feel bad for the comment I left you in the Zelda thread Also:

Kill it with FIRE! Seriously was that a poop stain? I think it was a poop stain.

well i forgot to put sarcasm at the end of that link....meaning we dont need post like these

That link sucked.

And to add to my previous comment, that link was almost like being Quincy-ed. Well, not so much...But still kind of.

For all you know he's the creating mind behind an upcoming blockbuster videogame franchise.

errr, "Creative mind"

There's another Big MuthaTrucker's Game?

Fashion police strike again! Thanks Joystiq!

You suck on so many levels dude.
You can't even figure out how to use the reply button to respond with your spam, get out of here, we don't want you here. I will never use jobstaxi.com and I will make sure to tell everyone I know to never use it. Go fall in a well and hopefully die.

Your pal,
Shmil

Sure that wasn't CliffyB?

No, if it was cliffy b you'd be able to tell.
His hair would be gelled and the picture wouldn't be the back of his head. Cliffy would turn around and strike a lame pose with that ugly mug of his.

Nice, you just made $0.0001.

Congratulations.

The most classic thin is Scrit on the TV as if he is looking right at the dude with scared/surprised expression. What are the chances that that was on the screen when the photo was snapped.

I call divine intervention on that sh*t.

Ok, when does Scrat NOT have that scared/anxious look? only when he's smiling for joy during that 2 seconds when he has his acorn.

Yeah, but it totally looks like he is looking out of the TV at the guy.

I feel like this photo should be submitted to National Geographic.

Here we see the Manly Man outside of his natural environment. He stalks his prey, looking for Cheetos and beer. However, little does he know, he will be soon buried in pamphlets outside of his understanding.

Fascinating!

You write about video games and rumors...and you're taking a moment out of your day to make fun of someone? Really?

You read a blog about video games and rumors, and you're taking time out of that to...

Oh forget it. This is just too easy.

You're the guy in the photo, aren't you.

Scrat makes that picture great.

Barbed wire tattoo. Simply too awesome for words.
