Batman-style beer belt doesn't look marathon-ready

Posted by Rob Beschizza, August 4, 2008 7:41 PM | permalink

With Balkan dictator Slobodan Milošević now safely dead, the idea of a superhero named "Slob-man" has finally lost its Serbo-nationalistic cachet and returned to its natural linguistic place. This place is best embodied by the Beerbelt from Urban Outfitters, a creation so obviously bad that it can barely be made to hang properly for a professional photo-shoot. Awesomeness overcomes much, however, and I think we can be swayed.

What?!!?!? No built in bottle opener!!!! Typical of urban outfitters - they pretend to be hip and indy, but when it comes to beer they show their true mass produced twist off cap colors.

Psh, bottle opener. Unless you're totally lame, you'll just use a lighter to open your beer. Urban Outfitters knows this.

7.5 lbs. I just weighted a bottle of Great Lakes Brewing Dortmunder Gold on a postal scale. It's precisely 1.25 lbs, which means if you sling a six of those around your waist you're hauling seven and a half pounds on your belt.
I wouldn't do it.

This is retarded. Every red blooded 'Merican should know a six-pack can be carried easily with just a belt. Just take out a can, loop the belt thru the hole and go to town (jail).

Only 6 beers? The right model of Utilikilt can hold up to 20!

Extra humor-value-added points for their using a slim female model, pretty much exactly the opposite of the person who would buy one of these.

I wonder who they stole this idea from? http://urbncounterfeiters.blogspot.com/

#2: Right - they expect you to buy a "kitsch" (ie mass-produced crap) GWB talking bottle opener.

RE: #3

There are only a few reasons to carry a lighter:

You smoke - cancerous and lame!
You are a 14 year old who thinks it's cool to play with a zippo - juvenile and lame!
You are an arsonist - illegal and lame!
