Jun 10 2009Iceberg, Dead Ahead!: Your Own R/C Titanic
Want a 1:150 (~6-foot) R/C scale model of the Titanic? These monster water gobbling whores allegedly have over 300 handmade parts and take over 400 man-hours to complete. You can buy them too, provided you've got a cool $2,500 lying around. Which, if you do, WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE? *sockful of pennies you in the face* Haha, the boat is mine! TOOT TOOOOT! [Insert joke about going down on my ship]

But can you make it break in half & sink whenever you want, with the push of a button? Does it come with screaming passengers and men throwing women and children overboard in an attempt to secure a seat in a life boat? No? Eh, nevermind.

That's not an accurate model... it's all in one piece.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photroshop 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 was working on a boat with Captain Frank Drebin atr the helm. Thet were told to proceedd at an unsafe speed, and ended up getting flipped over by a huge wave, almost killing the well known nautical figures, Quentin McHale and Popeye Doyle.

That looks like a beautiful replication! Not sure I'd spend $2,500 on it, but it's quite nice to look at. :)

13. Brittney - June 10, 2009 6:57 PM
Lol. Does it sink too? that would be sick but $2500 is a lot for a toy boat.
14. GLADIATOR - June 10, 2009 7:02 PM
Looking at that picture, i have an urge to whip multiple rocks at that boat in hopes that I sink it.
((((glub glub glub))))
I long to hear the owner say "you've sunk my battleship" ... or in this case my fake titanic!

Leonardo DiCaprio's doorstep 8: 15 a.m
*Ding dong
*Answers door. A 6 foot 2,500 dollar replica of the titanic with a post-it note on top. Timidly Leo retrieves the the note. It reads:
"This is how you'll be remembered..... Jack."
LEO THROWS UP HIS FISTS IN RAGE AND SCREAMS TO THE HEAVENS!!
"FDSYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! YOU BAAAAAAASSSTARDDDDDDD!!!"

24. Mikey Garcia - June 10, 2009 11:01 PM
I would so want, but I'm afraid I would destroy it just to film a recreation of the Titanic sinking. I wouldn't be able to help myself.
25. Crazywow - June 11, 2009 12:25 AM
I can't wait for one of these to show up at the local pond, I'm so gonna' sink it with my remote control iceberg...people have been laughing at me for far to long down at the pond.

35. mike - June 11, 2009 9:48 AM
manual states that boat should not be operated if there are icebergs reported in the area. also comes with free replica radio workers that are too busy to recieve warning transmissions.
36. Darth - June 11, 2009 5:53 PM
Maybe i'm interested to buy one.But i'm afraid it might sink.
37. Dave - June 11, 2009 8:19 PM
400 man hours to make for a toy boat? iduno whose making these but it seems like they cant be making too much profit
