Guy spills on girl in weird Huawei tablet teaser

Gadget users exchange fluids

Chinese comms kit maker Huawei has posted a "sneak peek" video of its MediaTab tablet - and rather a curiosity it is too. The video, not the tablet.

All we can say, after watching it, is that the MediaPad has a camera and a headphone port.

No doubt it has a screen too - 7in, judging by the size of the tablet - but it is never once shown. Only the two-tone back is ever shown. Take a look:

And what is it with the Anglo guy creeping up behing the Asian lass and then dripping his sauce on her? Some kind of metaphor, Huawei, and for what distasteful act? ®

I think I've sorted it out.

You don't see the screen, because she's so preoccupied with the appearance, touch and feel of it that she hasn't yet worked out how to switch it on.

But the guy watching certainly knows how to do it -- he's read the sauce code.

Good God!

Good God man!

I have seen more convincing acting in cheap porn... er, I mean... erm... well, I have a friend, you see, who says that porn films often have poor acting... er, yes... that!

That drip of red sauce

Seems to lead to an instant, grown-up, mixed race family.

Or wait. I watched it without sound, maybe it took twenty years to boot?

In China...

This is normal. Token foreigner (usually a teacher) paid some money (usually 300rmb) to appear in a commercial (usually posing as a doctor or engineer).

Total lack of imagination. *check

Not showing the actual product in action. *check

Horrible music. *check

Bad acting. *check

Somebody has to get fired! Really! Kill it with fire!

Tip to the Corpse

It's a nod to Cannibal Corpse's ballad "I cum blood".

Also, he needs a doctor.
