Dec 30 2008Spoiled Brats: The Cloud 9 Radio Flyer

The Cloud 9 by Radio Flyer is thankfully just conceptual at this time because no child, I don't care if they pick platinum boogers, deserves to ride around in such opulence. The questionable Flyer comes complete with two seats, MP3 player, speaker system, 5-point racing harnesses, and a digital display with temperature, odometer, and speedometer readouts. If the Cloud makes production, expect around a $1,000 pricetag. And to think: I spent my youth being pushed around in a wheelbarrow. For shame.

I can't tell, but it looks like the standard "suspension" package. Where are the bushings, the springs, the shocks? I want my todler to be comfortable, not jarred around getting brain damage on curbs and sidewalk cracks.

Ugh, just what rich people need to spoil their kids with. Nauseating.
On a different note, I think this is what GW looks like....

Those 5 point racing harnesses are for when Daddy gets really mad and starts swinging this thing around in the air (a la hamster in a bucket).
Good for the dual-dwarf hammer toss, I guess.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This was a prop used a scene from the director's cut of Tender Dracula. Dracula has an illegitimate child with one of the drunk french actresses. Throughout the rest of the film, the baby's thoughts are clearly heard and provide a humouress and insightful look into the mind of a pre-speaker.
The drunk french actress decides to marry one of the overdubbed french make up artist's, despite it not being his offspring.

FAKE! This is obviously photoshopped-the shadows are correct.
This is like that scene on Geekologie where people made comments about how the pictures were photoshopped.
9. Douche McAllister - December 30, 2008 2:11 PM
But can you have sex in it?

stupid kids with their stupid brains

what's every idiot thinking that Daisy is going to stop if they keep posting their own stupid shit?? I for one, would love to ride in this douche wagon, just for kicks...

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max rents a cottage by the sea and then hurts his ankle. He is teased mercilessly by a local, and beats him in a sailboat race to get his revenge.

If you look closely you'll see they are only 3 point harnesses which are insufficient to protect a rider from a lateral impact.
14. SlowMonkey - December 30, 2008 2:38 PM
@13 just curious. Why are you contemplating T-boning some little kids in a wagon?
15. Douche McAllister - December 30, 2008 3:27 PM
@14
The same reason I'm contemplating banging a hot lady in a childrens wagon, because it's fun!

Wait a minute, the Geekologie Writer got pushed around in a wheelbarrow? I had to push a wheelless barrow 5 miles to the well each day, barefoot, uphill both ways, in the snow, with alligators snapping at my heels, carrying my 5 little brothers on my back...
And yes, it's a total photoshop fake, there's nowhere near that much ambient light on the moon.

7,8, 12, and 16 you are all idiots read the news for once in your life. this is the concept model that they made its not even in production. the idiots that yell fake are just as bad as the first dumbasses

I can imagine mommy dearest having a cow after seeing her $1000 dollar investment go barreling down a hill, her child at the helm. If you never road a radio flyer down a steep hill your missing a true rush.

@5 This is what GW looks like...

@15 - Twisted, yet funny. I like it

It better be only concept. They forgot to add airbags in that thing. There's no way a kid can be listening to an MP3 player, monitoring their speed, making sure they don't put too many miles on their sweet-ass ride (gotta watch out for trade-in value) AND know how warm it is outside while watching where they're going. What if the puller of the Cloud is drunk? Then what? This thing goes over a curb and those kiddies are getting busted up like nobody's business!

My New Year's resolution will be to start reading GW's taglines before I comment... HolyF***ingCrap - YOU GW? You are the star of the Donkey Show? Who'd'a thunkit?
23. Jason - December 30, 2008 5:33 PM
Sorry, those are 3-point harnesses. Honestly...
24. Cleveland - December 30, 2008 6:49 PM
are you f***ing kidding me? Seatbelts? in a wagon?
25. Whaappened? - December 31, 2008 12:39 AM
I'll bet parents buy it to show off.
26. Jessica - December 31, 2008 10:18 AM
yes! all we need now is a crying buffalo and my childhood dreams are complete!
27. AHole - December 31, 2008 4:44 PM
Man, this is just shite. If it doesn't have rusty bolts sticking out of it that cause tetanus, it's not a proper Radio Flyer.
