Lappy, The Eee PC 900 mascot WEEK: Day #5

All good things must come to an end. Bye, Lappy. Hopefully they'll put you away in a cupboard and not just throw you in the bin or on a fire now you've outlived your promotional purposes.



Thanks, Lappy. Thanks everyone who got involved. It's been a fantastic journey. Or a voyage. A voyage into very dark places.



Thanks photographer.



Thanks web hosting company.



Thanks man inside Lappy costume.



The end. Special thanks to Asus. Long may your bonkers yet ground breaking approach to PR continue. You have made this week a week of joy. Now, can we have one for free? Thanks.

Lappy, The Eee PC 900 mascot WEEK: Day #4

We haven't felt this attached to a piece of foam and fabric since Grandad handed over a small fluffy bunny rabbit in 1977. A rabbit we subsequently loved and referred to as "Bungie" until as recently as 1994.



The smile on Lappy's face is directly proportional to the amount of silent tears being sobbed into its restrictive foam lining by the man on the inside.



We can only hope relevant security checks were performed on the man inside the suit before he was given carte blanche to hold youngsters.



How little of a hurry do you have to be in before the idea of hanging around having your photo taken with a 1970s-standard papier mache mascot becomes appealing?



Shit. Just four more photos left. This week has flown by :(

LAPPY MAN: Back

And so the circle is complete. We're not sure how to deal with a man who likes to have his photo taken, having never been the sort of people who like appearing in photos, so we'll just leave it here and hope we are never contacted by him and his cronies again.



"Awesome! See attached, as promised."



"I've also attached a picture of myself with Lappy, mostly for the benefit of David and Daniel Grilliopoulos - Ed (Incidentally, I wouldn't)."

Lappy, The Eee PC 900 mascot WEEK: Day #3

Day three and, unusually, our enthusiasm has not waned. These photos still seem as fresh and entertaining as the day they first [DISTRIBUTION METHOD REMOVED TO PROTECT IDENTITY OF SENDER].



Don't be scared, little girl. You're just having a nightmare in which objects come to life and have huge mouths to eat you up with. By the time you're 26 the mental scars will have healed and you'll be able to let a man touch you again.



This one is the winner. The way his tongue is sticking out makes the shot. This is definite desktop image material.



This is the first time we have encountered "emoticons" in press materials. Frankly, it doesn't really work.



Don't email in if you know these men.

Lappy Man FOUND!

Incredibly, the man we featured so happily holding a photo of himself with Lappy yesterday has been tracked down. We now have a photo of him with the photo AND standing in front of an update about himself.

We're going to have to put him in the Idiot Toys logo for a few days.



"I work with the man featured at the bottom of your update on the Eee PC launch. Sadly, he didn't wait for a printout photo of him holding the photo, so here's a photo of him next to your update about him holding a photo, featuring the original printout as well. If you put it on the site I'll take another photo of him in front of it, after which we can probably consider the joke spent - Ed."

Lappy, The Eee PC 900 mascot WEEK: Day #2

We continue to mine the gold. Today we have some attractive students with nice hair and some children. The children also have nice hair, but their hair is nice in the traditional sense of the word. The student hair is SEXY NICE, the child hair is CUTE NICE. Two very different nices.



The second and third people in the UK to buy an Eee 900 also had the great fortune and massive honour of having their photos taken with Lappy. Lucky them. Lucky, lucky them.



In this caption, the worthy Asus employee has gone to great lengths to point out that Eee PC isn't just for people with too much money who want a third computer just for using in bed.



Very attractive students. It's OK to hate them out of jealousy for the amount of sex and fun they are having. Stupid attractive young people. Kill them, Lappy. KILL THEM! Snap your lid shut on that blonde girl's delicate little head, then make her friends beg for their lives!



Why are they smiling? Is Eee PC also the star of a syndicated kids TV series on Nickelodeon? Is Lappy famous in Korea and/or the Philippines?



This man! What a man! Not only did he go along with the whole thing, he got a photo taken and then posed with the subsequent photo. We can only hope he also waited around for a print-out of the photo of him holding the photo.

Lappy, The Eee PC 900 mascot WEEK: Day #1

We know what you're thinking. You're thinking "How can there POSSIBLY be a whole week's worth of update material based on the mascot of a new laptop computer range?

You will change your mind when you see photographs of THIS magnitude. You will be begging for MORE! We bring you the amazing, the magnificent, the man-in-a-costume LAPPY!



This is Lappy. Lappy is the Eee PC mascot. Lappy has just DESTROYED the reputation of Eee PC in one fell swoop. Eee PC was cool until this happened.



These are Lappy's friends. Are you starting to see now how this is going to be the greatest series of photo updates in the history of the internet?



Some of the photos have been annotated by Asus staff. This will give you a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the laptop promotion industry.



This is the largest and finest collection of material we have lucked into for quite some time. Stay tuned!

COMING LATER THIS WEEK:

Lappy molesting students!

Lappy confusing the elderly!

Children being frightened of Lappy!
