I put the Segway in the same category as the fanny pack. They both seem like they ought to be useful, but for the most part both are more trouble than they're worth in actual practice. Plus they offend our sense of aesthetics in hard to define ways.
- tokenadult 17y agoPlus they offend our sense of aesthetics in hard to define ways. Human beings probably have long-adapted evolutionary modules influencing which appearances of other human beings look cool and which look dorky. It's hard to fight human nature on such things.
- mrtron 17y agoJoe Rogan is aggressively trying to make the fanny pack cool. Places your bets on the successfulness of it :)
- khafra 17y agoThe fanny pack enjoys some islets of popularity; for example, fixie-riding hipsters and ccw fans. I'd be surprised if they caught on among comedy/UFC fans, but it could happen.
- axod 17y agoBecause over there, fanny means your arse. Not your minge. Hearing/seeing "fanny pack" still makes me snigger like a 10 year old. I agree though. Both look stupid.
