CES: The Audacity of Woot


The Woot boys challenged us to find the most flagrant display of waste at CES. Clearly, this monstrous booth run by Woot themselves typifies the worst sort of disregard for the dire economic climate in which we live.

I mean *two* flashing lights? A slap in the face of decorum! And if they would have made this desk — which encompesses the entirety of this baroque cathedral to consumption — slightly more modest, they could have probably had the resources they could produced dozens of extra bags of crap.

Sent more or less live from CES.

    Don’t be hating on Woot.com. They can take it and DISH it better than anybody.

    Don’t make me launch my Woot Screaming Monkey.

    Just in case nobody else knows this, those *two* flashing lights of which you speak are Woot’s flashing Woot-Off lights. They started selling real versions of the flashing lights they feature on the homepage during a Woot-Off about two Woot-Offs ago. There’s your explanation.

    The real display of waste here is the obvious excess of Vaseline smeared on the lens. Use it sparingly!

    I say waste away!! (Disclaimer: my livelyhood depends on the tradeshow industry, pretty much the most wasteful industry I can think of).

    But, Hey!! We need more Face-to-Face marketing!!
    Flash away boys!!!

    Too bad Audacity doesn’t have a booth.
