Racist MP3 player

I don’t have one, but this company does. Holy crap. Thanks to FSJ for showing us this.

And for relevance, check out the top 10 unintentionally worst company URLs, and this post with a few more. Great Sunday reading.

Update:

Seems TrekStore has had a change of heart. Via Gizmodo, the VP of TrekStor writes:

Dear Gizmodo, TrekStor is shocked by the way our new MP3 player’s name “TrekStor i.Beat blaxx” is perceived. Of course the word “Beat” is not meant as a verb, but refers to the beats of the music you are listening to. More than 4 years ago, TrekStor introduced the i.Beat MP3 player series that today consists of more than 25 different players - all named individually. “blaxx” was chosen, because the player is designed with an elegant black piano finish. As a reaction to the bad connotation of the name, TrekStor decided to rename the product “TrekStor blaxx” - effective immediately. We sincerely apologize to everybody whom we offended by the initial name of this product and want to emphasize that TrekStor condemns violence and any form of racism.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
